JEWELRY CARE

At anpinmanz, there are several types of material for the jewelry:

  • Hypoallergenic stainless steel: not prone to tarnishing, more durable material
  • 925 sterling silver: softer material used for delicate jewelry, prone to tarnishing
  • Brass, plated with silver/gold: mostly for Project NCity bracelet & charms (the 925 silver plating on top is prone to tarnishing overtime)

Note: You can check the material for the jewelry you wish to purchase in the product listing description.

Please refer to our digital jewelry care card for tips on caring for your silver jewelry. The same applies to Project NCity’s brass pieces, which are plated with 925 silver/gold. To maintain their quality, gently clean them with a jewelry cloth without using too much force.


Main tips to look out for:
  • Avoid exposure to chemicals (hand cream, perfume etc.)
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to sun/heat/water
  • Avoid sleep wear
  • Avoid pulling too hard
  • Wipe with a silver cloth

 

GOLD-PLATED CHARMS CARE:

All the gold-plated charms in the bracelet collections are made of 925 silver, and gold plated. The gold plating is thin, so this makes it prone to tarnishing.

*I have feedbacked the relatively fast tarnishing of the Han Quokka/ATE charms, and my factory has added a protective layer of coating for restocks. 

But, its still not immune from tarnishing, so here are some tips on how to restore your gold plated charms at home!

Here's how to tell they have started to tarnish:

Silver-plated jewelry can be cleaned easily with a polishing cloth, but its a little different for gold-plated ones. You can either get the gold charms replated at a jeweler, or do a DIY method to restore them, which I will guide you:

*Avoid prolonged exposure to intense heat, moisture & chemicals (lotion, perfume, sanitizers). Repeat this method every 1-2 months if needed.

Hope this helps!
