The MOMO LUMIÈRE Guide to Materials & Care
Our Philosophy on Quality At MOMO LUMIÈRE, we create "living jewelry"—pieces designed to move with you through every part of your day. To ensure your jewelry remains as radiant as the day you first wore it, we use a premium combination of 18k gold plating over a 925 sterling silver base.
Understanding Our Materials
18k Gold Plated 925 Sterling Silver Every piece in our collection begins with a foundation of genuine 925 sterling silver. We then apply a thick, luxurious layer of 18k gold. This combination offers the hypoallergenic benefits of precious metals and the deep, rich hue of high-karat gold without the fine jewelry price tag.
Natural Elements We celebrate the beauty of the earth by incorporating natural baroque pearls and hand-selected gemstones. Because these are organic materials, each stone and pearl possesses its own unique character and "glow."
How to Care for Your Jewelry
To keep your 18k gold plated sterling silver looking its best, follow these simple steps:
- The "Last On, First Off" Rule: Apply perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays before putting on your jewelry. Chemicals in these products can interact with the gold plating over time.
- Keep it Dry: While our 18k plating is highly durable, we recommend removing your jewelry before swimming in chlorinated pools or saltwater to preserve the finish.
- Gentle Cleaning: Clean your pieces with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use chemical jewelry cleaners, as these can strip away the gold layer.
- Safe Storage: When not in use, store your MOMO LUMIÈRE pieces in a cool, dry place—ideally in the soft pouch or box provided with your purchase—to prevent scratching.
