CARING FOR THE TEAR DROP SERIES:

After wearing, take the flowers out and rinse the interior and exterior under the faucet. If there’s residue put in a drop or two of bleach, and let sit for a few minutes. If any residue is stuck inside fold the end of a pipe cleaner (this avoids scratching the glass) to remove it. If silver earrings tarnish, use toothpaste with a paper towel, q-tip, or soft bristled toothbrush to clean them.

JEWELRY CARE

RFORM STUDIO : MADE BY HAND

Due to the handcrafted nature of our jewelry, subtle variations may occur.

GENERAL CARE

Remove jewelry when bathing, exercising, sleeping, or cleaning. Always avoid excess moisture, and remember to store your pieces properly in an airtight container when you are not wearing them. It is normal for metal finishes including plating to change color with time and exposure to the elements, but contact with liquid or other substances can expedite this process.

STERLING SILVER

Gently polish with a jewelry polishing cloth or briefly submerge sterling silver pieces in a glass container of tarnish remover (be careful not to get this carcinogenic liquid on your hands), rinse with water and dry fully to bring back original luster.

18K GOLD PLATED

Gently clean with mild dish soap and a soft brush but please do not polish! Gold plating can actually be removed with polishing. Once completely dry, store your pieces in an airtight container, such as a ziplock bag, to avoid oxidization.

MOTHER OF PEARL

Wipe with a soft cotton cloth. Avoid exposure to moisture. Mother of pearl can scratch easily. It is recommend to put on Mother of pearl pieces after applying hairspray, perfume, or other cosmetics, as it can be sensitive to chemical contact. 

GEMSTONES

Gently clean with mild dish soap and a soft brush.
