Care Instructions

At Sunlight of the Night we take pride in creating not only stunning but also durable, and capable of standing the test of time. To ensure that your jewellery maintains its beauty and durability for the years to come, we have formulated the following care instructions:

STERLING SILVER:

• Avoid exposure to chemicals such as chlorine, perfume, bleach, harsh detergents, cleaning solutions, vinegar, hairspray, and cosmetics. Therefore, apply makeup and perfume before wearing the pieces.

• Store sterling silver pieces in a cool, dry place. Tarnish-resistant cloth pouches or boxes are alternative storage options to prevent exposure to air, moisture, and tarnishing.
• Remove your sterling silver chain before engaging in activities that could expose it to abrasion, impact, or potential damage.
• Exposure to water, saltwater, or chlorinated water may cause tarnishing of sterling silver pieces. Remove your sterling silver chain before swimming, showering, or engaging in other activities that may expose the piece to water.
• To remove light tarnish or dirt, use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the surface of the chain. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals for cleaning.
• If your sterling silver chain becomes heavily tarnished or dirty, consider taking it to a professional jeweller for thorough cleaning. The correct tools and methods for cleaning silver effectively will ensure that no further tarnishing occurs.
• Regular wear can help keep your sterling silver chain looking its best. The natural oils from your skin can help prevent tarnishing. However, ensure to remove any accumulated dirt or oils periodically.
• Regularly check your sterling silver chain for any signs of damage, such as weak links or worn areas. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage.
• Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause silver to tarnish faster. Therefore, store your jewellery away from direct sunlight.
• Keep jewellery out of reach of children and pets to avoid accidental damage or ingestion of small components.

GOLD PLATED:

• Avoid exposing the gold-plated chain to moisture, such as water, sweat, or humidity. Moisture can cause the gold plating to wear off more quickly and may lead to tarnishing.

• Store jewellery in a non-humid room with a consistent temperature.
• Avoid contact with chemicals such as chlorine, perfume, bleach, harsh detergents, cleaning solutions, vinegar, hairspray, and cosmetics. Therefore, apply makeup and perfume before wearing the pieces.
• To prevent scratching or tangling, store the gold-plated chain separately from other jewellery items, preferably in a soft pouch or jewellery box with individual compartments.
• After wearing, gently wipe the chain with a soft, dry cloth to remove any oils or dirt that may have accumulated.
• When cleaning the chain, avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive materials, or jewellery cleaning solutions, as they can damage the gold plating.
• Plating will naturally wear off over time, especially in areas that come into direct contact with the skin or other surfaces. Regularly check the condition of the chain and handle it with care.
• Avoid rubbing or scratching the gold-plated surface with rough materials, as this can accelerate the wearing off of the plated layer.
• Remove jewellery when changing, sleeping, or engaging in activities that could cause the metal links to stretch and break.
• Keep jewellery out of reach of children and pets to avoid accidental damage or ingestion of small components.

• Remove your jewellery before swimming in chlorine, using hot tubs, or engaging household chores involving harsh chemicals.
