Jewelry Care & Knowledge
At KOKO Collection, we take great pride in our commitment to delivering high-quality fashion jewelry. We firmly believe that quality should be complemented by proper care. To ensure that our customers can enjoy their jewelry to the fullest, each piece comes with its own pouch and/or jewelry box. We strongly encourage you to utilize either as a protective measure.
For the best preservation of your jewelry, we recommend always storing your pieces in the pouch or box when not being worn or while sleeping. This practice helps reduce exposure to salty air, sweat and moisture. It also helps to prevents potential scratching and/or tangling, ensuring the lasting quality and longevity of each item.
Avoid wearing jewelry in water - whether in the ocean, chlorine pools, hot tubs, or the shower. Keep pieces away from harsh chemicals, body oils, sunscreen, lotions, and perfumes. This includes pearls as well, harsh substances can alter their color and luster. As a helpful tip, remove jewelry before going to bed and exercising, in addition to putting it on last when getting ready. We are not responsible for normal wear and tear.
By following these steps, you can protect your jewelry from damage, and potential tarnishing over time. Your skin’s natural pH levels may cause tarnishing overtime.
Use a soft, dry cloth for a gentle cleaning routine. Wipe your jewelry gently after wearing it to remove buildup of dust or dirt. If pieces become wet, dry as soon as possible. Refrain from using harsh cleaners or tools.
