soukofjewels

Caring for your soukofjewels pieces is simple and intuitive. Each design is thoughtfully handcrafted with care and intention, celebrating beauty, craftsmanship, and mindful living.

Our jewelry is created using high-quality materials and finished with an anti-tarnish coating to help preserve its shine. All soukofjewels pieces are nickel-free and crafted using materials such as 925 recycled sterling silver, 22kt gold-plated brass, and 22kt gold vermeil.

Gold-plated jewelry features a delicate layer of gold bonded over a base metal such as silver or copper, which requires gentle care to maintain its appearance.

Every order includes a complimentary cotton pouch, perfect for storing your jewelry safely when not in use.

We want you to feel confident, radiant, and connected when wearing your jewelry. By following the care tips below, you’ll help extend the life, beauty, and energy of your pieces.

Daily Care Tips

  • Always remove your jewelry before swimming, bathing, exercising, cleaning, or engaging in strenuous activities
  • Avoid contact with perfumes, hairspray, lotions, body oils, cosmetics, and harsh chemicals
  • Remove lotions and makeup from your hands before handling gold-plated pieces
  • After wearing gold-plated jewelry, gently wipe it with a slightly damp cloth to remove residue
  • Avoid over-cleaning, as frequent cleaning may cause gold plating to wear faster

Storage Recommendations

  • Store jewelry in an airtight zip-lock bag when not in use to prevent tarnishing
  • Place the zip-lock bag inside the cotton pouch provided
  • Store pieces separately to avoid scratching, tangling, or friction
  • Keep jewelry away from humidity, bathrooms, and direct sunlight

Cleaning Your Jewelry at Home

What You’ll Need:

  • A small bowl
  • Mild dishwashing liquid
  • Warm water
  • Soft cloth or jewelry cloth
  • Cotton balls or cotton swabs
  • A soft-bristled toothbrush

Step-by-Step Cleaning Instructions

1. Wipe After Wear
Use a damp cotton ball or jewelry cloth to gently remove body oils and residue after each wear. Allow to air-dry before storing.

2. Prepare a Gentle Cleaning Solution
Mix 1 cup warm water, 1 cup cool water, and 1–2 drops of mild dishwashing liquid in a bowl.

3. Soak the Jewelry
Place 1–2 pieces in the solution and soak for approximately 5 minutes. Avoid overcrowding to prevent scratches.

4. Clean Detailed Areas
Use a cotton swab or soft toothbrush to gently clean crevices and intricate details. Never use sharp tools, as they can damage the plating.

5. Rinse, Dry & Polish
Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth and gently buff to restore shine.

✨ Enjoy your refreshed, radiant jewelry!

For Stubborn Stains

For tougher residue, a small amount of plain white toothpaste and a soft toothbrush may be used gently. Rinse thoroughly with running water and dry completely.

If Gold Plating Wears Over Time

Gold-plated jewelry naturally wears with time. If the base metal becomes visible, your piece can often be replated.
