JEWELRY CARE
Made to be worn.
Meant to stay with you.
A little care helps protect the pieces—and the meaning—you carry every day.
Your Rebel73 jewelry is meant to become part of your story, not sit untouched in a box.
A few simple habits can help preserve its finish, stones, cords, and details so you can keep wearing it your way.
Because every piece is different, always begin with the materials listed on its product page. When in doubt, keep care gentle: less moisture, less friction, and no harsh chemicals.
Last on. First off. Keep it dry. Wipe it softly. Store it separately.
Last on. First off.
Put jewelry on after perfume, hairspray, lotion, oils, makeup, and sunscreen have dried. Take it off before undressing, sleeping, or starting your nighttime routine.
Keep it dry.
Remove your jewelry before showering, bathing, swimming, exercising, or entering a sauna or steam room. Water, sweat, saltwater, chlorine, and humidity can affect finishes, cords, stones, and settings over time.
Wipe after wear.
Gently wipe each piece with a clean, soft, dry cloth before storing. This helps remove surface oils and residue. Unless the product instructions say otherwise, avoid liquid jewelry cleaners, dips, abrasive cloths, steam, and ultrasonic machines.
Give every piece its own space.
Store jewelry dry and separately in its original pouch or box. Fasten chains before storing, keep cords relaxed, and separate harder pieces from softer stones and surfaces to reduce tangling, scratching, pressure, and impact.
Handle with intention.
Open clasps and connectors rather than pulling chains or cords. Hold pieces by their strongest points, and protect pendants, charms, stones, enamel, and settings from drops, bending, crushing, and sudden impact.
Care by Material + Construction
Use the care guidance that matches the confirmed materials listed on the product page. A single Rebel73 piece may combine several materials.
GOLD-PLATED BRONZE + OTHER PLATED METALS
Plating is a surface finish and can gradually soften or change with wear. How quickly this happens depends on frequency of wear, body chemistry, friction, environment, and exposure to moisture or products.
- Keep plated pieces dry and avoid perfume, lotion, oils, cosmetics, cleaning products, saltwater, chlorine, and sweat.
- Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use metal polish, silver dip, abrasive cloths, brushes, or chemical cleaners on plating.
- Store separately to reduce rubbing against other jewelry, which can wear the finish.
SILVER + SILVER-TONE PIECES
Silver may naturally darken or tarnish over time. This is a normal reaction to air, humidity, skin chemistry, and everyday exposure.
- First check the product details to confirm whether the piece is sterling silver, silver-plated, or silver-tone.
- For confirmed sterling silver without delicate stones or mixed materials, use only a clean cloth intended for sterling silver and light pressure.
- Do not use silver polish or dip on plated, oxidized, stone-set, pearl, mother-of-pearl, enamel, resin, or mixed-material areas.
NATURAL STONES
Natural stones carry their own color, pattern, markings, and character. These variations are part of what makes each piece uniquely yours.
- Protect stones from drops, pressure, rapid temperature changes, prolonged sunlight, and harsh chemicals.
- Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not soak, steam, or use an ultrasonic cleaner unless the product-specific instructions expressly allow it.
- Store separately from harder jewelry that may scratch or chip the surface.
MOTHER-OF-PEARL + PEARLS
Mother-of-pearl and pearls are naturally delicate and sensitive to moisture, fragrance, cosmetics, acids, and abrasion.
- Follow the last-on, first-off rule and wipe gently with a very soft, dry cloth after wear.
- Do not soak, scrub, steam, or place in an ultrasonic cleaner.
- Store in a soft pouch away from hard edges, direct heat, and pressure.
CRYSTALS, CZ + PAVÉ-STYLE DETAILS
Light-catching details are beautiful because they are precise. Help protect them from residue and impact.
- Avoid creams, oils, fragrance, hairspray, and makeup around the settings.
- Wipe lightly with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth; do not press or pick at individual stones.
- Avoid drops, bending, crushing, steam, ultrasonic cleaning, and abrasive products.
ENAMEL + RESIN
Help protect smooth color surfaces from scratches, chips, prolonged heat, and chemical exposure. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth and store separately. Avoid abrasive cleaners, polishing cloths, and hard contact with other jewelry.
CORDS, TEXTILE + BRAIDED ELEMENTS
Keep cords and textile elements away from water, sweat, lotions, oils, cosmetics, and color-transfer surfaces. Do not soak, twist, stretch, or pull. If a cord becomes lightly damp, lay it flat and allow it to air-dry completely before storing. Keep fasteners open when adjusting to avoid unnecessary strain.
CHAINS, CHARMS, CLASPS + CONNECTORS
Fasten and unfasten the closure rather than pulling the chain. Keep charms from striking one another during storage, and avoid adding unapproved weight to connectors or removable links. Check moving parts gently before wear; if something feels loose or does not close securely, stop wearing the piece and contact Customer Care.
What changes with wear
Jewelry records a life
lived in it.
Jewelry records a life lived in it. Fine surface marks, patina, natural tarnish, and gradual changes to plating or finish may occur over time. These changes vary by piece and wearer and do not automatically indicate a manufacturing concern.
Thoughtful care can help preserve your jewelry, but it cannot prevent every sign of wear. We believe that character and meaning grow together—and that caring for your piece is part of carrying its story forward.
Necklace Chain Length Guide
| Rebel73 Length | Our Style | Layered in meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 16 in | Close | A close layer at the base of the neck. The beginning of your stack. |
| 18 in | Signature | Near the collarbone. Your everyday layer, made personal. |
| 20 in | Ease | A little lower on the chest. Room for a pendant and a little self-expression. |
| 22 in | Flow | A longer line down the chest. Add space and rhythm to your layers. |
| 24 in | Statement | Reaching toward the upper bust. A longer finish for your signature stack. |
Layering suggestion: Wear 16 / 18 / 20 in for a close stack, or 18 / 20 / 24 in for more space around a longer pendant. Adjust spacing to suit chain weight and pendant size.
Placement is approximate and varies with neck size, body proportions and pendant drop. Measure a necklace you love to find your preferred length.
More Materials + Common Questions
Can I shower, swim, or exercise in my Rebel73 jewelry?
We recommend removing it first. Fresh water, saltwater, chlorine, heat, humidity, and sweat can affect metals, plating, cords, stones, and settings.
Can I sleep in it?
We recommend taking jewelry off before sleep. Movement and pressure can stretch chains, bend components, pull cords, loosen settings, and scratch delicate surfaces.
What cleaner should I use?
A clean, soft, dry cloth is the safest starting point. Do not use liquid cleaners, dips, abrasives, steam, or ultrasonic equipment unless the care instructions for that specific piece approve them.
Why does my natural stone look different from the photograph?
Natural color, pattern, tone, texture, and markings vary from piece to piece. Those differences are part of the material’s character and make your piece singular.
What if I am unsure how to care for my piece?
Pause before cleaning and contact Customer Care. Include your order number, product name, and clear photographs so the team can review the piece and share the most appropriate next step.
