At DBL, we craft our pieces with high-quality materials designed to deliver maximum shine and durability. Because gold-filled and 18K Gold PVD are not solid gold, they require proper care to maintain their brilliance over time. Follow these steps to keep your DBL jewelry looking pristine for years to come.

WEARING DBL JEWELRY
Make your jewelry the last step in your getting-ready routine. This prevents your pieces from snagging on clothing and protects them from contact with makeup, lotions, and perfumes.
Keep jewelry away from soaps, lotions, fragrances, and hair products. The chemicals in these items will strip the shine from your jewelry over time.
Unless your piece is specifically from our Waterproof 18K Gold PVD Collection, remove it before showering, washing your hands, or swimming. Chlorine in pools and hot tubs will discolor and strip the outer coating.
Sweat can accelerate tarnishing due to the chemical reaction with your skin.
Take off your necklaces, bracelets, and anklets before sleeping. Chains can easily catch on bedsheets and snap under pressure during the night.
STORING DBL JEWELRY
Store your items in a cool, dry place such as the signature DBL velvet jewelry box included with your order.
Keep your collection away from extreme heat, humidity, and atmospheric moisture.
CLEANING DBL JEWELRY
Gently wipe your pieces down with a soft, dry cloth made of 100% cotton or fine microfiber.
Never use chemical jewelry cleaners or harsh polishing liquids, as they will strip the gold layer off your jewelry.
