Jewelry Care Guide: Keep Your Favorite Pieces Looking Beautiful

One of the best things about Casey Kearney Jewelry Co. is that our pieces are made for real life. Whether you’re headed to the barn, the beach, a concert, or just running errands, our jewelry is designed to be worn every day.

Our jewelry is crafted from high-quality stainless steel and finished with durable 18K gold PVD plating (on our gold pieces), making it waterproof, tarnish-resistant, and hypoallergenic. While it’s much lower maintenance than traditional fashion jewelry, a little care goes a long way in keeping it looking its best for years to come.

Can I Wear It Every Day?

Absolutely! Our jewelry is designed for everyday wear. You can shower, wash your hands, sweat during workouts, and enjoy everyday life without constantly taking it on and off.

Is It Waterproof?

Yes! Our jewelry is waterproof, so you don’t have to worry about getting caught in the rain, washing your hands, or spending time by the pool or beach.

That said, we recommend rinsing your jewelry with fresh water after swimming in saltwater or heavily chlorinated pools. Salt, chlorine, and mineral deposits can leave residue on any jewelry over time.

Will It Tarnish?

Unlike traditional fashion jewelry, stainless steel will not rust or easily tarnish. Our gold pieces feature a durable PVD coating, which is significantly more wear-resistant than traditional gold plating.

With normal wear and proper care, your jewelry will continue looking beautiful for years.

How Should I Clean It?

Cleaning is simple.

• Wipe with a soft microfiber or jewelry polishing cloth.
• If needed, wash with mild soap and warm water.
• Dry completely before storing.

Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh scrubbing pads, as they can scratch the finish.

Can I Wear It While Using Lotions or Perfume?

Yes—but for the longest-lasting shine, it’s best to apply lotions, sunscreen, hairspray, and perfume before putting on your jewelry.

These products won’t usually damage stainless steel, but they can leave a film that dulls the shine over time.

How Should I Store My Jewelry?

When you’re not wearing your jewelry:

• Store it in a dry place.
• Keep pieces separated when possible to help prevent scratches.
• A jewelry box, pouch, or our jewelry case works great.

A Few Things to Avoid

While our jewelry is made to handle everyday life, these situations can shorten the life of any plated jewelry over time:

• Harsh chemicals or cleaning products
• Bleach
• Extended exposure to chlorine
• Abrasive surfaces that can scratch the finish

Built to Go Wherever You Do

We believe jewelry should fit your lifestyle—not the other way around. That’s why every piece is thoughtfully designed to be durable enough for everyday adventures while still looking beautiful enough for date night.

From the barn to the beach, our jewelry is made to go wherever life takes you.

Wear it. Live in it. Make memories in it.
