Our jewelry is handcrafted entirely with gold-filled materials, made to last forever!! To help preserve your jewelry, we recommend keeping your pieces as dry as possible — removing them before showering, swimming, or sleeping, and taking extra care perfumes and other harsh chemicals. If your jewelry is exposed, simply wash it gently with warm, soapy water and pat it dry with a soft cloth. With proper care, your DKJ pieces are free from rusting and tarnishing!!
