CARE PROTOCOL

Clean rules. Quiet maintenance. Nothing fancy — just the way the Shift handles its metal.

01. Silver Moves With You

925 sterling silver changes — darkens, softens, picks up the hours.
That’s the metal doing what metal does.

If you want it brighter, wipe it with a soft polishing cloth.
Avoid dips, harsh pastes, or “miracle cleaners.”
If it sounds too strong, it probably is.

02. Stones Need a Little Distance

Your stones — nano or natural — can take a night out.
What they can’t take is concrete floors, sharp edges, or being thrown in a bag with your keys.

Keep them away from impact.
Think of them as company, not equipment.

03. Water, Sweat & Chemicals

Silver doesn’t melt in water, but repeat exposure speeds up tarnish.
Rinse and dry after swimming or sweating hard.

Keep your piece clear of bleach, perfumes, sprays, hand sanitiser, cleaning products — anything that burns, coats, or corrodes.

04. Wearing & Storing

If it’s on your body, it’s fine.
If it’s in a drawer, give it its own space.

Store pieces separately — pouch, box, envelope, anywhere dry.
Stacking jewellery together leads to scratches, dents, arguments.

05. Cleaning Protocol

  • Polishing cloth only

  • Mild soap + warm water if it’s actually dirty

  • Dry completely before putting away

  • Avoid ultrasonic cleaners unless you know exactly how your stone behaves in one

If you’re unsure, ask. Better a question here than a repair later.

06. If Something Seems Off

If your piece arrives damaged or faulty, contact the Front Desk.
Tarnish and marks from wear aren’t faults — they’re the story forming.
