Jewelry Care

Each piece of Talisman Jewelry is handcrafted in our small studio using traditional metalsmithing techniques. All of our metals are nickel-free, safe for sensitive skin, and designed for everyday wear. We’re also happy to offer a complimentary polish anytime—just stop by one of our pop-ups when you’d like a little extra shine.

Sterling Silver

925 Sterling Silver is made of 92.5% pure silver blended with copper for durability. Sterling naturally develops a patina over time, which many love for its character.

Care
Store in a clean, dry place when not wearing. Use a soft silver cloth to restore shine.

Nickel-Free Brass

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, naturally nickel-free and durable. It can be polished to a golden shine, or left to age into a warm natural patina.

Care
When not wearing, store in a dry place. Wipe with a brass polishing cloth for brightness, or let it darken naturally over time.

Gold Vermeil

Vermeil is not the same as standard gold plating. Vermeil uses a much thicker layer of 18k gold over sterling silver, which makes it longer-lasting and higher quality than regular plating.

Care
When not wearing, keep away from chemicals, perfumes, and lotions. Clean gently with a dry, soft cloth.

Gemstones

We use genuine, natural gemstones—cut smooth or faceted—that are valued for their beauty and longevity.

Care
When not wearing, store away from chemicals, liquids, and direct sunlight. Clean gently with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth.
