PRESERVING THE INTEGRITY OF YOUR RHIZIC PIECE

Rhizic jewelry is created with intention. Each piece is made to be worn, lived with and appreciated over time. Caring for your jewelry ensures that it continues to look and feel as naturally elevated as the day you received it.

This guide explains how to protect your jewelry from premature wear, how to clean it properly, and how to maintain its finish for years to come.

Understanding Your Materials

We use materials that are honest by nature and responsive by design:

Sterling Silver

It will naturally oxidize, deepening in tone as it reacts to air, humidity and skin chemistry.

Gold Vermeil

It offers a rich gold surface over sterling silver and requires gentle handling to maintain its finish.

Gemstones

Our lab-grown stones are secure but still sensitive to impact, residue, and harsh environments.

Everyday Wear Guidelines

Jewelry responds to how you wear it. To preserve its finish and structure, it’s best to avoid exposing your pieces to:
Water, Sweat and workout environments
Lotions, perfumes, oils, and cosmetics
Harsh detergents, cleaning agents, or sanitizers
Abrasive surfaces or tight stacking that causes friction

Cleaning Your Jewelry

Storing Your Jewelry

Planned storage prevents unnecessary wear: Jewelry rests best when it rests alone.
Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or lined box.
Keep jewelry away from humidity and direct sunlight.
Use an airtight bag for sterling silver to minimize oxidation.
Avoid storing jewelry loose in drawers or on countertops.

Natural Aging of Jewelry

Over time, every piece will develop subtle signs of wear:
  • Sterling silver may soften to a natural patina
  • Gold vermeil may brighten or lighten in areas of frequent contact
  • Metal surfaces may show micro-scratches
  • Stones may collect minor surface marks

    • These changes tell the story of the wearer. They are not considered defects but a natural evolution of the material.

What to Avoid

Certain environments and products can affect the longevity of your jewelry. We recommend avoiding:
  • Chemical jewelry dips
  • Ultrasonic cleaners (especially for vermeil)
  • Exposure to chlorine, bleach, or alcohol-based solutions
  • Wearing jewelry in saunas, steam rooms, or humid environments
  • Storing pieces in open or damp spaces
