To keep your Viv&Ingrid jewelry looking its best, we recommend these easy steps:

• - Store each piece separately in its own fabric pouch (included with every purchase)
• - Store in a cool, dry place
• - Do not store near burning candles
• - Do not apply perfume, hair products or any other toiletries while wearing
• - Do not allow contact with water or chemicals
• - Remove jewelry before sleeping

Due to the delicate nature of our designs, natural wear may occur during the life of each piece. You can easily clean any metal with a gentle jewelry polishing cloth at home.

Most of our designs can also be dipped into a liquid silver polish. **Carefully read all instructions on the container, as some stones can be damaged by liquid polish.

Caring for your silver jewelry:

Tarnishing is a natural process that happens when silver comes into contact with sulfur in the air. It is best and easiest to clean tarnished silver in the first stages, before it gets too black. Mild tarnish is easily cleaned by washing with a detergent that does not contain any phosphate-based chemicals. If your silver jewelry is washed often in this way, you will rarely need any harsher treatments for silver tarnish.

Alternatively, we are happy to polish your Viv&Ingrid pieces and repair normal wear at no charge. For more information on our repair policy, please visit our Customer Service page. (Underlined copy should link to the section on the customer service page - “What is Viv&Ingrid’s repair policy?”).
