Your Bulova Jewelry is crafted of the finest materials and metals, including sterling silver, 14k gold-plated silver and Stainless Steel. Your Bulova jewelry may incorporate leather, precious and semi-precious gemstones, ceramic, enamel and other materials in the designs. We create all of our jewelry with the utmost attention to quality. However, all Jewelry requires proper maintenance and care to ensure its lasting beauty.
We recommend removing jewelry before showering, during household chores and avoid wearing it to the beach, pool, or playing sports in order to protect it from damage.
Many substances may permanently damage or discolor your Bulova Jewelry. Please avoid contact with chlorine, salt water, cosmetic products, fragrance, hairsprays and corrosive or solvent-based cleaning agents. High temperatures, strong light and high humidity may also cause undesired changes in some materials used.
Stainless Steel, sterling silver and gold-plated sterling silver are very durable alloys that do not corrode or rust - but they can scratch. Wear and store your Jewelry in a way that minimizes contact with items that can damage it. Store your pieces individually in the soft pouches provided with purchase, in a dark and dry place.
DO NOT USE AN ULTRASONIC BATH ON THE JEWELRY TO CLEAN IT. Please see below for cleaning tips:
STAINLESS STEEL: Simply use mild liquid soap and water to clean your stainless steel Jewelry when it is dull and dirty. Use a soft cloth to clean and dry your pieces.
STERLING SILVER
You can often restore your silver jewelry’s shine by polishing lightly with a soft, preferably microfiber cloth. If that doesn't do it, you can use a few drops of mild dish soap in a small bowl of water. Let your jewelry soak for about five minutes, rinse in a bowl of clean water and then use soft cloth to wipe dry.
14k GOLD-PLATED SILVER
You should always wipe down your jewelry with a soft cloth after each use—it’ll help remove any dirt or oils from your skin. To clean occasionally and restore sparkle, you can mix a few drops of a mild dish soap into a small bowl of warm mater, and mix it around to create some suds. Soak the jewelry briefly in the mixture, and then rinse thoroughly in clean warm water. A soft toothbrush may help remove any stubborn dirt—but use very gently. Dry using a soft, lint-free cloth.
LEATHER: Do not submerge Leather in water. Hand blot with a damp cloth or sponge, cold water and mild soap to gently clean. Wipe off excess moisture. Allow to dry completely prior to storing. All of our Leathers are genuine and display unique characteristics of organic materials so please allow for slight variations in color and texture. Due to the dying process, some slight color transfer is possible during wear and/or cleaning and does not constitute a defect.
DIAMONDS: Take care of all gemstones to ensure the pieces are not dropped or bumped/knocked with or against other objects, as stones may loosen from their settings and/or fall out. Clean by wiping with a damp cloth and mild soap. If needed, gently remove dirt around the stone by using a soft-bristle baby toothbrush - do not rub as this may scratch the stainless steel around the diamonds.
SEMI-PRECIOUS STONES: Avoid dropping or knocking with or against other objects, as stones may scratch, chip or break. Clean by wiping with a damp cloth and mild liquid soap.
