Care.
Care for your jewelry, and it will last you lifetimes.
Slim Goodies Accessories uses strictly only PRECIOUS METALS for our jewelry:
925 Sterling Silver
Vermeil Gold (Gold over Sterling Silver)
Solid 14k Gold
Because our jewelry is made of only precious metals, it is safe on all skin, will not turn green, and is safe to wear in water if wanted.
If worn in water (shower, pool etc.) your jewelry will naturally get dirty more quickly due to moisturizing product residue, chemicals, water marks, and harsh natural elements (like seawater). Avoid chlorine/bleach.
But if you do, it’s easy to clean:

What You Will Need:
Tin Foil
Baking Soda (make sure it isn’t expired)
Hot Water
A Bowl
Steps:
Cover your bowl with tin foil
Fill your bowl up with enough hot water to cover the jewelry you want to clean
Add 1-2 TSP of baking soda to the hot water (it will fizz!) & stir until dissolved
Put the jewelry you wish to clean into the water and let it sit 10-15 min or until water cools down
Rinse with clean, fresh water to remove any residue.
Let dry on a paper towel
Polish with a microfiber cloth to shine it up (skip this step for Vermeil Gold)
All done! Enjoy your fresh jewelry
Sidenote: you can also use a chemical jewelry cleaner that contains a mild acid to clean your Sterling Silver. Silver jewelry cleaner can be found at Target, Walmart, Amazon etc. When using a chemical jewelry cleaner please strictly follow the instructions on the packaging of your chosen jewelry cleaner & be safe.
