Jewelry Care Guide
Hermin jewelry is made to be worn daily and cherished for years. With a little care, your pieces will stay just as beautiful as the day they arrived.
All of our jewelry is crafted from 100% sterling silver or above, with select pieces finished in 18k gold vermeil—a thick layer of gold over solid sterling silver for lasting luxury.
Everyday Care
- Last on, first off: Put on your jewelry after applying lotions, perfume, or hair products to avoid buildup.
- Keep it dry: Remove before swimming, showering, or exercising. Moisture and sweat can affect both silver and gold vermeil over time.
- Store it right: Use your Hermin canvas pouch or box to protect each piece when not in use. Avoid storing silver in humid places like bathrooms.
Cleaning Sterling Silver
Sterling silver naturally develops a soft patina over time. To bring back its shine:
- Gently polish with the included Hermin jewelry cloth after wear.
- For a deeper clean, use warm water with a drop of mild dish soap. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
Caring for 18k Gold Vermeil
Gold vermeil requires a lighter touch to preserve its finish:
- Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe gently after each wear.
- Avoid abrasive materials, harsh chemicals, and ultrasonic cleaners.
- Do not use silver polish or polishing cloths with cleaning agents on gold vermeil.
Longevity Through Quality
Because our pieces are made with precious metals—not plated base metals—they’re designed to last. Regular, gentle care will help them maintain their beauty and integrity for years to come.
