Everyday Wear

While Luna Soeur jewelry is made for real life, certain habits will significantly extend its lifespan.

We recommend removing your jewelry before:

• Showering, bathing, or swimming

• Sleeping

• Exercising or engaging in physical labor

• Applying lotions, perfumes, oils, or hair products

• Cleaning with household chemicals

Moisture, friction, and chemicals can dull finishes, weaken settings, and cause unnecessary wear over time.

Metals & Finishes

Luna Soeur pieces may be crafted in solid gold, sterling silver, or other fine metals. Each material responds differently to time and environment.

Sterling Silver

• Naturally oxidizes over time, especially when exposed to air or humidity

• Tarnish is normal and can be gently polished away

• Store silver pieces in airtight bags or soft cloth pouches when not in use

Gold (14k or higher)

• More resistant to tarnish, but still susceptible to scratches and wear

• Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or abrasive surfaces

Please note: surface wear is a natural part of owning fine jewelry and does not indicate a defect.

Stones & Settings

Many Luna Soeur designs incorporate gemstones or delicate structural elements.

• Avoid impact or pressure, especially on rings and bracelets

• Do not wear stone-set jewelry during heavy activity

• Periodically inspect prongs and settings for looseness

If you ever notice a stone shifting, snagging, or feeling unstable, discontinue wear and contact us immediately.

Cleaning Your Jewelry

For everyday maintenance, we recommend using the polishing cloth included with your order. Gently wiping your jewelry after wearing helps remove oils, moisture, and light tarnish while preserving the finish.

For occasional deeper cleaning:

• Use lukewarm water with a mild, non-abrasive soap

• Gently clean with a soft brush (such as a baby toothbrush)

• Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a clean, soft cloth

Please avoid:

• Ultrasonic cleaners

• Steam cleaners

• Abrasive polishes or chemical dips

These methods can damage finishes, loosen stones, and compromise delicate details.

Storage

Proper storage is essential.

• Store jewelry separately to prevent scratching

• Keep pieces dry and away from direct sunlight

• Use soft pouches, lined boxes, or individual compartments

If traveling, wrap each piece individually to avoid friction or impact.

Resizing, Repairs & Maintenance

Over time, even well-cared-for jewelry may require professional attention.

Luna Soeur offers resizing and repair services for many pieces. We strongly recommend having work done by us or a trusted professional familiar with fine jewelry to ensure the original design and integrity are preserved.

Please contact hello@lunasoeur.com before sending any piece for evaluation, resizing, or repair.

What Is Considered Normal Wear

The following are considered normal and are not defects:

• Light scratches or patina from wear

• Natural tarnishing of silver

• Slight softening of edges over time

These changes reflect a piece that has been worn and loved.

When in Doubt, Ask

If you are ever unsure how to care for a specific piece — or whether an activity is safe while wearing it — we encourage you to err on the side of caution and reach out.

We are always happy to guide you in caring for your jewelry.
