Caring for Your Hannah Daye Jewelry

With proper care, your Hannah Daye jewelry will retain its beauty and character for a lifetime. Here's what you need to know.

Sterling Silver

Sterling silver is a living metal — it develops a natural patina over time and will tarnish when exposed to air, moisture, and certain chemicals. This is normal and easily managed.

• Avoid wearing silver in the ocean, in chlorinated pools, or in hot tubs
• Keep silver away from perfumes, lotions, hairspray, and cosmetics — apply these first and let them dry before putting on your jewelry
• Store silver in an airtight pouch or jewelry box when not in use
• Polish regularly with a soft silver polishing cloth to restore luster

Gold

14k gold is more resistant to tarnish than silver but still benefits from care. Remove gold jewelry before swimming, exercising, or doing household cleaning. Avoid contact with harsh chemicals.

Natural Gemstones

Our gemstones are genuine natural stones — beautiful, but delicate. Settings and clasps do wear over time with regular use.

• Remove gemstone jewelry before physical activity, swimming, or sleeping
• Avoid exposing stones to sharp temperature changes or prolonged direct sunlight
• Some stones — particularly opals, pearls, and softer cabochons — are more sensitive than others; when in doubt, treat gently

Storage

Store pieces individually to prevent scratching. A soft pouch or lined jewelry box works well. Keeping silver in an airtight environment slows tarnishing significantly.

Cleaning

For a gentle clean, use a soft cloth and mild soap with warm water. Dry thoroughly before storing. For deeper cleaning or any repairs to settings or clasps, we recommend professional servicing — reach out to us directly and we're happy to help.
