• Sustainability – ​As an advocate of conscious consumption and conscious making, all Olivia Shih collections feature eco-conscious and locally sourced materials when possible.
• Care – We recommend putting your jewelry on in the morning after showering and applying any moisturizers or fragrances, and removing your jewelry in the evening before going to bed. Avoid exposing your jewelry to wet or moist conditions; when cleaning dry jewelry off completely. / To clean your sterling silver jewelry, use mild soap and water. Oxidized (intentionally darkened) jewelry will lighten over time and with wear, giving it an antique silver finish. Never use a silver polishing cloth on oxidized silver jewelry. Non-oxidized sterling silver jewelry can be polished with a silver polishing cloth. / To clean your gold plated and gold-filled jewelry use mild soap and water. / Brass jewelry might darken over time. To slow down the process, clean your brass jewelry using mild soap and water. / To clean your acrylic jewelry, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Dry with soft cloth or tissue.  Acrylic is an incredibly lasting material and will retain its color for 8-10 years. If your acrylic jewelry is especially dirty, use liquid cleaners such as Novus 1 and Brillianize with a microfiber cloth.
