Bowman Originals Jewelry Care Guide
At Bowman Originals, every piece is handcrafted to heirloom standards — designed to be worn, cherished, and passed down. With a little mindful care, your jewelry will maintain its beauty for generations.
Everyday Care
- Gently wipe your jewelry with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear.
- Avoid contact with harsh chemicals, lotions, and perfumes.
- Remove before swimming, showering, or exercising to protect metal and enamel finishes.
Sterling Silver
- Store silver pieces in a cool, dry place, ideally in anti-tarnish cloth or pouches.
- Light tarnish can be removed with a silver polishing cloth. Avoid liquid dips, which may damage enamel or gemstones.
18k Gold
- Gold is naturally resistant to tarnish but can dull over time. Restore luster with a gentle polishing cloth.
- For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and warm water, then dry thoroughly.
Vitreous Enamel
- Clean enamel surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid abrasives or ultrasonic cleaners, which may scratch or weaken enamel over time.
Gemstones
- Clean most gemstones with warm water and a mild soap solution, using a soft brush if needed.
- Store gemstone jewelry separately to prevent scratching against harder stones or metals.
Storage
- Keep each piece in its own pouch or box to avoid scratches.
- For travel, use a padded jewelry roll or case.
