Jewelry Care Guide

Eleanor Jewelry crafts its pieces from premium materials chosen to look lovely for many years. Depending on the design, an item may be made of 316L surgical-grade stainless steel, 18K real gold, 14K real gold, S925 sterling silver, or a blend of them. Each product description lists the exact materials used, so be sure to look there.

Our Materials Up Close

S925 Sterling Silver
S925 consists of 92.5% pure silver combined with 7.5% alloy to add strength. Because pure silver is soft by nature, a little of other metals makes the jewelry more durable and still preserves its bright, timeless shine. With the right care it keeps looking gorgeous, which is why it is so often chosen for rings, earrings, and pendants.

Surgical Stainless Steel 316L
316L is a high-quality, skin-friendly metal commonly found in medical settings. It strongly resists rust, fading, and tarnish, so it suits everyday wear well. Water doesn't bother it, and it is kind to sensitive skin. Customers who want jewelry that lasts with very little maintenance will love this material.

14K Real Gold
14K gold is 58.5% pure gold blended with sturdy alloys, which gives it a lovely warm glow and the toughness needed for daily use. Compared with gold of higher purity, it is less prone to scratching or bending, so it works well for pieces worn frequently.

18K Real Gold
18K gold is made up of 75% pure gold, which produces a deeper, richer color. Its shine feels luxurious, yet it remains sturdy enough to wear every day. Shoppers who prefer a more premium, gold-rich look without giving up practicality will find it a great choice.

Mixed-Material Designs
Certain pieces mix these materials, such as a stainless steel base finished with real gold plating, or sterling silver set alongside gold details. That mix strikes an ideal balance between shine, durability, and comfort. The product description always names the precise combination in your piece.

Keep your jewelry looking its best and wear it with peace of mind by following these easy care steps:

1. Avoid Chemicals:

  • Stay clear of harsh chemicals like perfumes, lotions, and household cleaners around your jewelry. Over time, they can tarnish it and cause damage.

2. Avoid Long Exposure to Water

  • A bit of water won't harm our jewelry, but soaking it for a long time can speed up tarnishing. Keeping it dry preserves the shine!

3. Avoid Bumps and Scratches:

  • Take care during activities that might knock or scratch your jewelry. Keep rings stored apart so they don't rub and scratch one another.

4. Take It Off When Sweating Heavily:

  • Sweat can lead to tarnishing, so we suggest taking your jewelry off for intense workouts or when the weather is hot and humid.

5. Wipe with a Soft Cloth:

  • When you take it off, softly wipe the piece with a lint-free soft cloth to clear away dirt or oils. Doing so keeps its luster and shine intact.

6. Sleep-friendly, but handle with care!

  • You can sleep in our jewelry, but removing it at bedtime reduces the chance of bending or warping later on. A bit of added care keeps it looking perfect!

Follow these tips and your Eleanor Jewelry pieces will look as striking as they did when they first arrived. Our promise is hypoallergenic jewelry that is free of Nickel, Cadmium, and Lead, so you can wear it without worry.
