FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular jewelry cleaner?

Use only gentle cleaning methods. Some jewelry cleaners may be too strong for certain finishes or decorative components.

How often should I clean piercing jewelry?

Frequency depends on wear habits, but regular gentle cleaning is recommended to remove daily residue.

Does cleaning alone mean jewelry is ready for a new piercing?

No. Cleaning, rinsing and drying do not establish sterility or suitability for a new piercing. Ask a qualified piercer to assess the item's preparation and suitability.
