The Golden Hour collection features pieces constructed with 14K Gold plating as the main element and also includes Bronze and some sterling silver.
We recommend cleaning your plated jewelry using a damp, soft cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals, jewelry cleaners, or polishing cloths, as this will affect the finish.
recommended tips to keep your Colunga jewels looking their best:
Avoid contact with soaps, hairspray, moisturizers, and as much as possible, water.
As with all jewelry, soap and water can cause gunky buildup and sometimes erosion within the crevices of the piece over time.
Avoid wearing your jewelry at the beach, swimming pool, while exercising or playing sports. Chlorine and related chemicals can discolor and severely damage jewelry as well as loosen stones and settings. Limit contact with rough surfaces and other metals in order to avoid scratching and changes in color.
Limit rough use and sleeping in the jewelry to slow down the natural process of “wear and tear” and to protect the finishes on the piece.
To keep your jewelry from tarnishing (especially silver) we highly recommend keeping your pieces in a plastic bag or airtight container when not in use. Over time, metal can slightly discolor from contact with skin oils and exposure to various environmental elements.
