Caring for Your Embers & Maple Jewellery
Each piece from Embers & Maple is handcrafted with care, designed to be treasured for years to come. To help keep your jewellery looking its best, we recommend the following:
Avoid Moisture & Chemicals
Remove jewellery before swimming, showering, or exercising.
Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, hairspray, sunscreen and household cleaning agents, as these can dull the finish over time.
Store Thoughtfully
Keep your pieces in a dry, cool place, preferably in a pouch or box.
Store separately to prevent scratching or tangling.
Exposure to air and humidity can cause tarnishing over time. This is a natural process, especially for metals like silver, gold-filled and plated metals. Regular gentle cleaning helps maintain their shine.
Clean Gently
Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to polish your jewellery.
Avoid harsh cleaning agents or abrasive products, as these can damage the finish of your piece.
Handmade with Heart
Each item is carefully made to order. Slight variations are part of what makes your piece truly unique. Treat it kindly, and it will stay with you for years to come.
Gold-Filled
Gold-filled jewellery is durable and resists tarnish better than plated metals, but it still deserves gentle care.
Clean with a soft cloth; warm water and mild soap are safe if needed.
Avoid harsh chemicals, perfumes, and prolonged exposure to water.
Store in a dry place to maintain its shine over time.
Gold-Plated
Gold plating is a thin layer over a base metal and can wear with time.
Avoid moisture, sweat, lotions, perfumes, and cleaning agents to extend its life.
Gently wipe with a soft cloth, do not polish or rub harshly.
Store separately in a pouch or box to prevent fading and scratches.
Silver-Plated
Like gold plating, silver plating can wear over time and may tarnish with exposure to air and skin oils.
Avoid water, chemicals, and abrasive surfaces.
Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth, do not use silver polish.
Store in an airtight bag or box to slow tarnishing.
Sterling Silver (925)
Sterling silver may naturally tarnish when exposed to air and moisture, this is normal and reversible.
Polish gently with a soft cloth to restore shine.
Avoid water, perfumes, and household cleaners.
Store in a dry, airtight container or anti-tarnish pouch.
