How to Care 

To keep your Lizzie piece in tip-top condition, we suggest storing it in the dust bags provided with your shipment; this will keep it dry and reduce the likelihood of tarnishing. Avoid exposing your jewelry to excessive humidity or sunlight. Our jewelry is made to last but pieces that are handled without care via excessive dropping, wear and tear, or improper transport / storage are more likely to show wear and potential damage over time. Please use common sense and care when wearing and storing your Lizzie piece.

How to Clean 

For gold and rhodium-plated metals, please expect some natural tarnishing over time with wear. To reduce the effect of wear, gently wipe jewelry with soft polishing cloth and store in a dry place. Protect jewelry from abrasive surfaces and harsh chemicals and please be mindful of wearing makeup near jewelry or of getting your plated metal piece wet.
