FAQ

JEWELRY CARE

How do I clean my Steward & James jewelry?  Our fashion jewelry is 14kt or 18kt gold plated over stainless steel or brass, it is possible for the plating to fade over time from continuous wear. This is unavoidable over the lifetime of any plated jewelry. Because of this, we do recommend that our customers are cautious when washing their hands, swimming, exercising, cleaning, or styling their hair, as soaps, chlorine, detergents, cleaning agents, and hair products can remove the plating. With each purchase you are provided with a microfiber polishing cloth to keep it looking bright and shiny.

Can you wear gold plated jewelry in the shower? We recommend taking your gold plated jewelry off before you get in the shower, as it can damage the plating. This protects your jewelry’s shine by avoiding contact with agents such as soaps, lotions, and hair and cleaning products.
