Jewelry Care Instructions

At Moon+Arrow, we believe that jewelry is more than adornment, it’s memory, intention, and expression. Each piece in our shop is made with care, and with just a little attention, it can last a lifetime.

Below are our care tips for keeping your jewelry looking its best, while honoring the natural beauty of the materials.

Brass & Bronze

These metals will naturally oxidize over time, developing a rich patina that many of us love. However, if you prefer your pieces to remain bright and shiny:

  • To brighten: Gently polish with a jewelry polishing cloth or a soft cloth with a dab of natural metal cleaner like lemon juice and baking soda.

  • To prevent tarnish: Store in an airtight container or ziplock bag when not wearing.

  • Avoid: Moisture, lotions, perfumes, and prolonged exposure to air and sweat.

💡 Pro tip: Wipe your jewelry with a soft cloth after each wear to remove skin oils and keep it gleaming.

Sterling Silver (925)

Sterling silver is durable and made to be worn often. It may darken over time with exposure to air and skin oils.

  • To maintain shine: Use a silver polishing cloth to gently clean.

  • Storage: Keep in a sealed pouch or box away from humidity.

  • Everyday wear: Helps prevent tarnish! Just be sure to avoid harsh chemicals like chlorine and household cleaners.

14kt Gold

Solid 14kt gold is low-maintenance and ideal for daily wear, but a little love keeps it luminous.

  • To clean: Soak in warm water with a drop of mild soap. Gently scrub with a soft brush and dry with a cloth.

  • Avoid: Scratches from hard surfaces and build-up from lotions and makeup.

  • Storage: Keep each piece separate to avoid tangling or scratching.

General Jewelry Tips

  • Remove jewelry before showering, swimming, or exercising.

  • Apply lotions, perfumes, and hairspray before putting on your jewelry.

  • When not in use, store your pieces in a dry, soft-lined box or pouch.
