All Jewelry

It is highly recommended to always be very gentle with your jewelry. Pulling at, dropping & being rough with your jewelry will likely break it. It is also recommended to put on your make-up, hairspray & perfume prior to putting on your jewelry. All of these items cause build-up & eventual discoloration of your jewelry. Check the fine print on jewelry cloths & cleaning prior to using on your jewelry to make sure it will not damage your piece.

Stones

Every stone has a different hardness. Generally speaking it is best to never drop or bang a stone against anything. Many stones used in KEJ pieces are soft – ex. crystals are very fragile & will easily chip or break. Avoid getting stones wet – especially dyed crystals and druzys. Getting a stone wet can…loosen the stone from it’s setting, cause damage to and/or discolor the stone. Always remove rings, necklaces, earrings & bracelets prior to showering or washing your hands.

Metal

Jewelry that is finished with an acid gold application has excellent long term wearing qualities. Our 24 carat overlay consists of 10 layers of 24 carat gold over brass base. 

 

Allergies 

We have found over many years of experience that people who have problems wearing electroplated jewelry can usually wear 40 mil gold overlay jewelry. It is rare that anyone who wears a 40 mil chain has the resulting skin irritations that one is allergic encounters with basic costume jewelry.
