Jewelry Care Guide
Made to be worn. Made to be treasured.
Your Telos jewelry was chosen to become part of your story — pieces you can reach for again and again as you move through everyday life.
Crafted in 925 sterling silver, each piece deserves a little thoughtful care to preserve its beauty, shine, and finish for years to come.
Caring for Your Jewelry
Wear with care
Jewelry should be the finishing touch. We recommend putting your pieces on after applying perfume, lotion, hairspray, makeup, or other beauty products. This helps minimize exposure to ingredients that may affect the finish over time.
Keep it dry
Remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, exercising, or entering pools, hot tubs, or the ocean. Moisture, chlorine, salt water, and other chemicals can accelerate tarnishing or affect plated finishes.
Give it a gentle clean
After wearing your jewelry, gently wipe it with a soft, dry jewelry cloth to remove natural oils and residue.
Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, paper towels, or rough fabrics that may scratch the surface or damage delicate finishes and stones.
Store it thoughtfully
When you're not wearing your Telos jewelry, keep each piece separately in its pouch or a soft-lined jewelry box.
Keeping pieces separated helps prevent scratching and tangling while limiting exposure to air and moisture.
A Note About Sterling Silver
Sterling silver is a precious metal made to last, but it can naturally tarnish over time when exposed to air, moisture, skin oils, and certain chemicals.
This is normal and does not mean your jewelry is damaged.
Regular wear, proper storage, and gentle cleaning can help preserve its natural beauty and shine.
For pieces with special finishes, plating, or stones, always choose gentle care rather than aggressive polishing.
Caring for Opal & Delicate Stones
Our opal and stone-set pieces deserve a little extra care.
Avoid prolonged exposure to water, chemicals, extreme heat, and abrasive surfaces. Clean them gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid soaking them or using ultrasonic and steam cleaners.
Treat these pieces with care so their color, brilliance, and beauty can continue to shine.
Keep the Beauty With You
Jewelry often carries more than beauty. It can hold a memory, mark a season, or quietly remind us of something we don't want to forget.
Care for your Telos pieces thoughtfully, and let them continue to accompany you wherever life takes you.
Adorned with Purpose.
