Jewelry Care Info

Jewelry Quality Disclaimer

The products we sell are all genuine gemstones unless otherwise noted.

  • Each piece will vary slightly in color and size as they are made from organic stones. No two items will be exactly the same. 
  • There may be naturally occurring inclusions in the gemstones, and are not considered to be fractures or cracks.
  • The pictures shown on the website may not accurately reflect the actual color of the item received, due to individual computer/mobile settings.  
  • We inspect each item before shipping and will never ship fractured or damaged items. If your item arrived damaged, please refer to the Shipping & Returns page for more information!

NOTE:  Due to the energies and spirituality of the crystals, when the gemstones spontaneously break, it represents that the piece has served its purpose. Since crystals and gemstones are also delicate, they can crack or break depending on the angle and type of impact. Wintime & Co. is not responsible for damaged items due to normal wear and tear. 

Care Instructions

Metal-plated Jewelry

These pieces are usually made with 14, 18, or 22-karat gold plated over brass (Not sterling silver or solid gold). All jewelry is subject to wear and tear over time from handwashing, sweat, etc. Thus, the piece will fade over time. 

  • To prolong the quality of the plating, we recommend removing the pieces when showering, bathing, and or swimming. 
  • Avoid contact with water, perfumes, lotions, soaps, chemicals, sanitizers. 
  • Store jewelry in reusable pouch when not in use. 

Beaded Jewelry

The beaded bracelets are made with genuine gemstone, though some may be dyed or treated to enhance the color of the stone. The elastic thread used is double layered and one size, which is strong enough to fit sizes 6.5-8.0 inches. 

  • To prolong the elasticity, please do not intentionally fidget or stretch out the bracelet, as that may cause the elastic to snap and break. 
  • Beaded stretch bracelets can be worn in the shower occasionally, but is subject to wear and tear. 

String-Threaded/Cord Jewelry

The threaded string bracelets will have an adjustable sliding knot to fit most size wrists. 

  • The thread is subject to wear and tear over time and the color of the string may change due to sweat, lotions, and etc. 
  • To prolong the quality of the string, please avoid constant contact with water, soaps, lotions, or moisturizers.
