A LETTER FROM YOUR PRZED POSESSION 

I am detail oriented, but when it comes to my self care, less is more. Keep a simple and consistent routine and I’ll be a part of you long into those sunny days and cool nights.

After each wear gently wipe me down with a soft cloth and individually store me in a moisture free pouch.  Once or twice a month, dip me in a bowl of warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap, and pat me completely dry with a lint free cloth.  Lastly, I should avoid coming in contact with any harsh chemicals and abrasive materials.

FURTHER CARE INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION

PREVENTION

  • To increase the longevity of plating and slow down tarnishing, avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive materials/cleaners such as the following
    • Chlorine
    • Nail Polish
    • Toothpaste
    • Silver Polishing Cloths
    • Hard bristled brushes
    • Ultrasonic cleaners
  • If wearing daily, be sure to wipe off sweat as it can cause the rhodium plating to wear off faster
  • Any applied lotions, perfumes, creams or hairspray should be completely dry before wearing our jewelry

STORAGE

  • Please be sure pieces are always stored in a moisture free environment
  • All PRZE pieces come with a box and soft pouch which can be used for daily individual storage and is ideal for everyday pieces
  • For pieces worn intermittently we highly suggest storing individually in an air tight plastic baggie to keep out moisture.  We suggest placing an anti-tarnish tab inside for extra protection

CARE

  • All pieces, no matter the material, should be wiped gently with a soft cloth for cleaning
  • Re-plate pieces anywhere between 6-12 months or if there are signs of tarnish or scratches.
  • Make sure to remove any pieces before performing anything strenuous like exercising or cleaning
