Jewelry Care

Your Ilsa Loves Rick jewelry is made of the highest quality gold fill; it will not chip or flake, and will wear like solid gold for years with the right care.  Below are our recommendations for caring for your jewelry; they are best practices that will keep all of the darlings in your jewel box in great condition.  

• if you are not wearing your pieces every day (which is rarely the case), store your pieces in a jewelry box or pouch
• proper storage helps to prevent oxidation and scratching of metal
• when wearing leather products, apply perfume before putting on your pieces as vegetable tanned leathers may stain
• DO NOT polish any of the oxidized chains or elements as you will remove the intentional dark coloring
• to polish, use a soft commercial jewelry polishing cloth and gently rub onto jewelry
• alternatively, jewelry can be cleaned using mild soap and water or toothpaste applied with finger tips or soft cloth
• always make sure your jewelry is dry before placing it in storage
