Jewelry Care Guide

At XoJulez, every piece is thoughtfully designed and hand-assembled using high-quality brass and cubic zirconia stones, then finished with gold, rhodium, or rose gold plating. To preserve the beauty and longevity of your jewelry, we recommend caring for your pieces in the same manner as fine jewelry.

Metal Guide

What Is Brass?

Brass is a durable alloy made from copper and zinc that naturally displays a warm, golden tone. It allows us to create intricate, luxury-inspired jewelry designs while maintaining affordability and exceptional craftsmanship.

Brass is widely used in high-quality fashion jewelry because it offers the appearance of precious metals while allowing for greater design versatility and detail.

Stone Guide

What Is Cubic Zirconia?

Cubic Zirconia (CZ) is a premium synthetic gemstone often used as an alternative to diamonds. Known for its brilliance, clarity, and durability, CZ closely resembles the sparkle of a diamond while remaining an affordable and beautiful option for everyday wear.

Our carefully selected cubic zirconia stones are designed to provide exceptional shine and elegance in every piece.

Cleaning & Care Guide

Will Brass Jewelry Tarnish?

To help protect your jewelry, every XoJulez piece is coated with a layer of rhodium before the final gold, silver, or rose gold plating is applied. This additional protective barrier helps slow the natural tarnishing process.

However, as with all plated jewelry, exposure to moisture, chemicals, and daily wear may eventually cause tarnishing over time.

What Causes Jewelry to Tarnish?

Common household and beauty products can affect the finish of plated jewelry, including:

• Perfume
• Hairspray
• Lotion
• Soap
• Sunscreen
• Cleaning products

We also recommend avoiding exposure to:

• Chlorine
• Swimming pools
• Hot tubs
• Bleach
• Salt water

To maintain the life of your jewelry, always apply beauty products before putting on your jewelry and remove your pieces before swimming, bathing, or exercising.

How Should I Clean My Jewelry?

Use a soft, 100% cotton cloth to gently polish your jewelry after wearing it.

For best results:

• Use separate polishing cloths for gold-tone and silver-tone jewelry.
• Wipe jewelry clean before storing.
• Avoid abrasive materials that may scratch the plating.

Do not use silver liquid cleaners or harsh jewelry cleaning solutions, as they may damage the plating and reduce the shine of your jewelry.

How Should I Clean My Cubic Zirconia Stones?

Over time, lotions, oils, and everyday residue can reduce the brilliance of cubic zirconia stones.

To restore their sparkle:

1. Fill a small bowl with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap.
2. Soak the jewelry for several minutes.
3. Gently brush around the stones using a soft-bristle toothbrush.
4. Rinse carefully with clean water.
5. Pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

This simple cleaning process will help keep your stones looking bright and radiant.

How Should I Store My Jewelry?

Proper storage is one of the most effective ways to extend the life of your jewelry.

We recommend storing your XoJulez jewelry:

• In a cool, dry place
• In an airtight jewelry box, pouch, or zip-top bag
• Away from direct sunlight and humidity
• Separately from other jewelry pieces to prevent scratching and tangling

Keeping your jewelry protected when not in use will help preserve its finish and brilliance for years to come.

Jewelry Care Tips

For the longest life and best appearance of your jewelry:

• Put jewelry on last when getting ready.
• Remove jewelry before showering, swimming, exercising, or sleeping.
• Avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, and chemicals.
• Clean your jewelry regularly with a soft cloth.
• Store pieces individually in a dry, protected space.

With proper care, your XoJulez jewelry will continue to shine beautifully and remain a favorite part of your collection.
