Our commitment to quality ensures that every item is made with the utmost attention to detail.

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY JEWELRY?

To care for your jewelry, keep in mind that our handmade pieces have an artisanal antiqued look with oxidation. They are not intended to be highly polished. Tarnish is a natural occurrence due to exposure to the elements and does not indicate poor metal quality or a product defect.

Over time, metals naturally oxidize and develop a patina from wear, which adds character. Textured pieces tend to hold more oxidation and may require additional maintenance.

Avoid using chemical dips to clean your Elle Belle jewelry. Additionally, be mindful of skin oils combined with lotions as they can contribute to tarnishing. It's best to apply fragrance and hair spray before putting on your jewelry.

Proper storage and regular polishing with a polishing cloth will help maintain the finish and minimize natural tarnish buildup on metals.

CAN I GET MY JEWELRY WET?

To maintain the longevity of your jewelry, it is advisable to avoid wearing them in wet environments such as showers, hot tubs, saunas, oceans, or swimming pools. Moisture can speed up tarnishing of metal and chemicals may cause damage to metals and stones.
