Jewelry Care
​
Please be mindful not to wear your Fox & Lupine jewelry in water to ensure that it lasts a very long time. Moisture is what tarnishes metal, so keep out of pools, hot tubs, and natural hot springs. Avoid lotions and sunscreens as these can damage stones or beads.
(Exceptions are made for the Everyday line of bracelets and necklaces.)
​
Remove necklaces and bracelets before sleeping as not to stretch or damage the chain or wire. (Exceptions are made for the Everyday line of bracelets and necklaces.)
​
Jewelry loves sweat, dirt, and skin. Please do not use harsh chemicals to clean your jewelry or the stones in your pieces. Liver of Sulphur is a hot-water based patina I use on most of my work, and if you use harsh chemicals, sunshine cloths, or other polishing compounds, it will rub off. Polishing agents can also potentially damage or discolor natural elements like Turquoise, Variscite, or Lapis.
​
If your piece really needs a cleaning, all you need is a soft-bristle toothbrush, warm water, and mild hand soap. Take care not to scrub your stones too harshly.
14k Gold Fill is a heavy layer of solid 14k gold over a brass core. It is hypoallergenic and does not rub off like gold-plated jewelry. It will stand the test of time for a fraction of the cost of solid gold. It can also stand up to polishing cloths and cleaners, but should be used with care.
Store your jewelry in a soft pouch or a cotton-filled box away from excessive heat and excessive light.
