Jewelry Care Guide
At 103 Jewelry, we pride ourselves on crafting durable, high-quality pieces. To ensure your jewelry maintains its shine and lasts for years, please follow these simple care tips:
-
Store Properly
Always store your jewelry in a dry, cool place. Use a jewelry box or pouch to avoid scratches and prevent tarnishing from exposure to air and moisture.
-
Avoid Water
Remove your jewelry before swimming, showering, or exercising. Prolonged exposure to water, especially saltwater and chlorinated water, can damage metal and leather components.
-
Keep Away from Chemicals
Avoid contact with harsh chemicals like perfume, lotions, cleaning products, and hair sprays. These can tarnish metals and weaken leather.
-
Clean Regularly
Clean your jewelry with a soft cloth to remove dirt and oils. For stainless steel or silver, use the provided soft silver polishing cloth to wipe down the metal until shiny.
-
Handle with Care
Take care when putting on and removing your jewelry to avoid bending or stretching delicate parts, especially for bracelets with clasps.
-
Wear It Often
Believe it or not, wearing your sterling silver jewelry can actually help slow down tarnishing. The oils in your skin can "clean" the silver and keep it shiny.

How do I know my wrist size?
Measuring your wrist size can be done in the comfort of your home using a piece of string or ribbon and a ruler. Wrap the string around your wrist, just above the wrist bone, marking the point where the string overlaps. You can then lay the string flat against a ruler to measure the length.
Consider Comfort: When wrapping the string or ribbon, consider how you like your jewelry to fit—snug, loose, or somewhere in between.
How do I know my ring size?
We recommend using a ring sizing guide or visiting a local jeweler to measure your ring size accurately. If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out for assistance.
