Jewelry Care
Caring for Gold K18 & Sterling silver
Gerochristo jewelry handcrafted from 925 sterling silver and 18k gold. Your sterling silver may tarnish. The proper care, storage and cleaning of your jewelry will help maintain the appearance of your piece.
- Over time the recessed areas of your piece will appear darker in contrast to the surface. This is a unique process that identifies the piece as authentically Gerochristo piece.
- Always put on your Gerochristo jewelry last to avoid contact with hair products, perfumes, cosmetics or lotions. Overtime, these products will build residue on your jewelry.
- Do not wear Gerochristo jewelry in the ocean, hot tub, sauna, pool, bath or shower as water, heat or chlorine will damage your piece.
- Use caution when using sterling silver cleansers or jewelry solvents as they may remove the unique finish of your Gerochristo design. Be sure you are using the proper liquid cleanser.
Exposure to air and humidity will increase the tarnishing of your jewelry. Store each piece separately in the suede pouch provided to avoid contact and scratching from other jewelry. To keep your jewelry in its original form, use often enough a polishing cloth or a cotton cloth.

Caring for Sterling Silver with Gold Plated parts
Gold plated jewelry is the best option for wearers who are jewelry obsessed but need to stay in a budget. Gerochristo Gold plated jewelry is made by using electricity or chemicals to deposit and bond a very thin layer of Gold over Sterling Silver. But this gold layer fades overtime. However it will stay a beautiful silver jewelry.
