Babeina Care Guide

How to Wear

The more intentional you are about caring for your jewelry, the longer it will last.
Remove your jewelry before doing any activity that risks physical damage.
As a general care tip, your jewelry should be the last thing you put on before going out and the first thing you remove upon coming home.

How to Store

When not being worn, store in a safe, dry place to protect against the elements of daily exposure.
Store pieces separately to avoid damage.
Ensure pieces are completely dry before storing.
Certain metals, like vermeil and sterling silver, can be prone to tarnishing. Rather than the packaging that came with your purchase, we recommend storing your pieces in our Leather Jewelry Boxes, which are lined with an anti-tarnish microsuede fabric that makes care and cleaning even easier.

14K Solid Gold

Despite the common knowledge that all solid gold is 100% gold. Gold is softer, so it is often mixed into an alloy with other metals like silver and copper to add strength. “Solid gold” means that your piece is made entirely of a gold alloy with no other material core. It is available in yellow and white, which is achieved by alloying it with different metals.

How to store

Keep 14k solid gold in a cool, dry place, away from heat and humidity
Store gold in a lined jewelry box or a cloth pouch to protect it from scratches. You can get the jewelry boxes from this link.
Avoid storing multiple pieces of gold jewelry together, as they may scratch against each other.

How to clean

Clean your jewelry regularly with gentle soap and warm water. Use a soft brush to remove dirt and debris from hard-to-reach areas.
You can use ultrasonic cleaners, too.

Gold Vermeil

The word "vermeil" pronounced as "vermey" is derived from the French word "vermeil" which means "golden".

14K vermeil is a type of jewelry made by plating a base metal, typically sterling silver, with a thick layer of 14K gold. This results in a piece of jewelry that has the appearance of solid gold but at a much lower cost. The gold plating on vermeil jewelry is typically much thicker than that of gold-plated jewelry, and it can last for years with proper care.

14K vermeil is a great option for those who want the look of solid gold but at a more affordable price. It is also a good alternative for sensitive skin users who can't wear solid gold.

How to store

Keep it in a dry place: Moisture can cause gold plating to tarnish or even peel off. Avoid storing gold-plated jewelry in damp areas such as bathrooms.
Store it separately: Gold-plated jewelry can be scratched or damaged when stored with other jewelry pieces. To prevent this, store each piece separately in a soft cloth pouch or jewelry box. Here is a link for the Babeina jewelry box.
Avoid exposure to chemicals: Chemicals such as perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products can damage the gold plating. It is best to put on gold-plated jewelry after applying these products.

How to clean

Clean it regularly: Clean your gold-plated jewelry regularly with a soft cloth or a jewelry cleaner specifically made for gold plating.

Sterling Silver

Sterling silver contains 92.5% pure silver (also called “925 silver”) and is considered a precious metal. The rest of the alloy is (7.5%) copper, strengthening the piece without compromising its appearance. This type of silver is commonly used for jewelry because it is durable and resistant to tarnishing. The "925" stamp on a piece of jewelry indicates that it is made of 925 sterling silver.

How to store

Store the silver in a cool, dry place, away from humidity and direct sunlight. A tarnish-preventive bag or a lined jewelry box can help protect the silver from the air.
Avoid storing multiple pieces of silver in contact with each other, as this can cause scratches. Instead, wrap each piece individually.

How to clean

Clean the silver thoroughly using a mild soap and warm water or a specialized silver cleaning solution. Dry the silver with a soft cloth.
Use a silver polishing cloth to wipe your silver regularly to remove any tarnish and keep it looking shiny.

CZ Diamond

CZ, short for cubic zirconia, is a synthetic diamond simulant. Best known as a diamond alternative. It has many of the same physical and optical properties as a real diamond. CZ is composed of zirconium oxide (ZrO2), crystallized in a cubic form. CZ is often used as a diamond substitute in jewelry, and it is significantly less expensive than natural diamonds.

Cubic Zirconia is similar in appearance to a diamond. It has a higher refractive index and a softer structure, but it can be cut and polished to mimic a diamond's appearance. They can be found in various colors, such as white, yellow, pink, blue, and black.

CZ is widely used in fashion jewelry and is a popular choice for engagement rings and other jewelry designed to look like diamond pieces.
