Product Care

Each Atrani Studio piece is crafted with care and intention. Our jewelry is made from either 925 sterling silver or brass, both finished with a thick layer of 18k or 24k gold plating, depending on the design. To preserve the original appearance and extend the life of your jewelry, proper care is essential.

General Guidelines

Always remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, sleeping, or exercising.
Avoid contact with water, humidity, perfume, lotions, makeup, alcohol, hand sanitizers or other chemicals.
Put on your jewelry last when getting dressed, and remove it first at the end of the day.
Store pieces individually in a soft pouch or in the original Atrani Studio packaging, away from direct sunlight and heat.
Keep jewelry dry. Moisture accelerates the natural wear of the gold layer.

Gold-Plated Sterling Silver

Sterling silver is a precious metal, and when plated in gold, it offers a warm, rich finish. However, even high-quality plating is delicate and may naturally fade over time, especially on pieces worn daily such as rings or bracelets. To care for gold-plated silver:

Clean gently with a soft, dry cotton or microfiber cloth.
Do not use silver polish or abrasive materials, as they may damage the gold layer.
If your piece starts to oxidize slightly (a natural process), wipe it gently and store it in a dry, airtight pouch.

Gold-Plated Brass

Brass is durable and often used for statement or chunky designs. It's normal for brass to develop a patina or darken slightly with time, which gives each piece a unique character. To maintain its brightness:

Wipe gently with a soft cloth after each wear to remove oils and residue.
Never immerse brass pieces in water. Avoid humid environments like bathrooms.
Use only dry cleaning methods. Liquid cleaners or polishing cloths with chemicals can strip the gold plating.

Quick Care Tip: Clean gently with the soft cloth provided, and store in the pouch included with your order. This simple routine will keep your jewelry looking beautiful for years.

What to Avoid

Water and humidity (showers, pools, beaches, saunas)
Perfumes, lotions, and cosmetics
Household cleaning products
Abrasive materials or polishing cloths with chemicals
Sleeping or exercising while wearing jewelry

Important Notes

Natural wear of gold plating is not considered a defect, but part of the life cycle of a plated piece.
If you wear your jewelry every day, especially rings or bangles, the plating will fade faster. This is normal and depends on your skin's pH and habits.
For pieces with sentimental value, we recommend removing them when washing hands or applying products.
Each piece is designed to age beautifully, like memories. With proper care, they will remain radiant for years to come.
