Below are some of the most common concerns/questions regarding how to care for your new piece of Loella Medina Jewelry:
What to avoid if you want to enjoy your gold fill jewelry for a long time:
- Avoid wearing gold fill jewelry in the ocean or the pool. Saltwater and chlorine can damage the metal.
- Remove your jewelry before you go to the gym. There are a lot of natural chemicals in sweat - don't risk mixing them!
- Avoid direct contact with products such as perfume, sunscreen, hairspray, and lotions. Harsh chemicals may cause damage.
- If you can, prevent sleeping in your jewelry. Close contact with your body's chemical make-up can create build up on the metal.
Caring for your Gold Fill jewelry:
Gold fill jewelry is an excellent investment for the modern woman. However, life happens. So, what steps can you take to help extend the life of your jewelry?
- Daily: If you have exercised or were wearing perfumes & lotions, give your piece a quick rinse under lukewarm water and dry with a cloth.
- Deep cleaning: Get a bowl of lukewarm water and add a touch of mild soap. Let your jewelry soak in the water for about a minute. Give it a gentle wash and then dry with a towel. If you need to deep clean a chain or an intricate piece, use a soft toothbrush to clean where build-up could occur.
- Always keep your gold fill jewelry in a dry or air-tight place. The dryer you store it, the longer the sheen will last!

What to avoid if you want to enjoy your sterling silver jewelry for a long time:
- Avoid wearing silver jewelry in the ocean or the pool. Direct sunlight can tarnish the metal.
- Remove your jewelry before you start any house chores, harsh chemicals, like sulfur and chlorine along with perspiration and rubber will accelerate corrosion and tarnish of your silver.
- Avoid direct contact with products such as perfume, sunscreen, hairspray, and lotions. Harsh chemicals may tarnish your jewelry faster.
- To clean your silver, we recommend using a mild soap and water as a first step or use a baking soda and water paste, apply to a cloth or use a soft toothbrush and scrub gently.
- To remove heavy tarnishing, a white vinegar and baking soda mixture is recommended. Simply mix ½ cup of white vinegar and 2 tbsp of baking soda and soak your sterling silver in it for two to three hours. Rinse jewelry and pat dry.
Caring for your Sterling Silver jewelry:
- Wearing your silver jewelry often, believe it or not, prevents silver from tarnishing.
- Use an air-tight container to store your silver. Zip-lock bags are great, but you can also find specialty jewelry bags for a more attractive option.
- Sunlight, heat and moisture accelerate tarnishing. Be sure to keep your silver in a cool, dark place.
- Storing your pieces separately prevents any chance of jewelry scratching or tangling with each other.
- You can consider storing the jewelry with some anti-tarnish strips to help prevent tarnishing.
- Do not store in paper, cardboard, or cotton-filled boxes: these boxes may contain traces of sulfur which will contribute to tarnishing.
