Before Wearing

• Apply perfume, lotion, sunscreen, hairspray, or skincare before putting on jewelry.
• Let products fully dry before wearing plated or pearl pieces.
• Check clasps, hooks, rings, and chain connections before leaving home.
• Avoid wearing jewelry during heavy workouts, swimming, showering, or sleeping.

Brass

Plated jewelry refers to a layer of precious metal, such as gold or rhodium, applied to the surface of a base metal. At FERROUS LAB, we only use genuine precious metals for all of our platings.

Whether it is gold, silver, or rhodium plating, each layer is carefully applied to support lasting beauty. Our plating is designed to be durable, but it is important to avoid contact with chemicals, moisture, and harsh environments.

If your jewelry comes into contact with water, gently dry it with a soft cloth or tissue to help keep it in its best condition.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel plated jewelry combines the strength and durability of stainless steel with a layer of genuine precious metal for added beauty. At FERROUS LAB, we use only precious metals such as gold or rhodium for our platings.

Stainless steel is waterproof and naturally tarnish-resistant, making it ideal for everyday wear. However, to maintain the luster of the precious metal plating, we still recommend avoiding harsh chemicals and excessive moisture.

If your jewelry comes into contact with water or chemicals, wipe it dry with a soft cloth to preserve its appearance.

Sterling Silver

Sterling silver plated jewelry combines the timeless elegance of sterling silver with a layer of genuine precious metal, such as gold or rhodium. At FERROUS LAB, we exclusively use precious metals for our plating to ensure a high-quality finish.

While sterling silver is itself a precious metal, the plating adds an extra layer of protection and beauty. To keep your jewelry looking its best, avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and moisture, as these can wear down the plating over time.

If your jewelry comes into contact with water, dry it with a soft cloth or tissue to maintain its luster and help prevent tarnishing.

Daily Watch Care

To best protect your watch, be mindful when spraying perfume, hairspray, sunscreen, or other products nearby. These substances may affect the finish, surface, or strap over time.

A jewelry polishing cloth can be used gently to polish the watch and remove fingerprints. Avoid abrasive cloths, harsh cleaners, and soaking.

Best Storage Practice

• Store each piece separately in a pouch, box, or soft-lined compartment.
• Keep jewelry in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.
• Do not store wet or damp jewelry in a sealed pouch.
• Keep chains unclasped only when necessary; otherwise, clasp them to reduce tangling.

For Chains & Accessories

• Store necklaces flat or hanging to reduce knots.
• Keep pant chains and bag charms away from keys or sharp metal objects.
• Avoid placing heavy items on top of chains or delicate components.
• Separate pearls from metal pieces to prevent surface scratches.

Standard Cleaning

1. Use a soft, dry, non-abrasive cloth.
2. Wipe the surface gently to remove sweat, oils, fingerprints, or dust.
3. If the piece touched water, dry it fully before storage.
4. Store separately in a dry pouch or box.

High-Risk Environments

• Ocean water, swimming pools, hot springs, saunas, and steam rooms
• Heavy sweating during workouts or outdoor heat
• Direct contact with perfume, lotion, sunscreen, hairspray, alcohol, or hand sanitizer
• Long-term storage in humid bathrooms or sealed plastic bags while damp
