Jewelry Care
We hope you enjoy your Alex Woo Jewelry for many years to come. To help keep your jewelry just like new, we offer Jewelry Cleaner Sets with polishing cloths on our website.
Additionally, here are some tips to help keep them clean. For 14kt Gold or Diamond pieces, use a solution of warm water and a few drops of mild dish washing liquid. Gently scrub with a soft-bristle toothbrush then rinse with warm water and dry with a soft cloth. For Sterling Silver pieces, use a paste made of three parts baking soda to one part water for matte finished areas.
We also recommend storing jewelry in an airtight and dry lined case or soft pouch when it is not in use.
Sizing + Styling
Our 14kt Gold chains are available in 3 different thicknesses; 1 mm, 1.2 mm, and 1.5 mm. Most 14kt Gold and Diamond Little Icons™ come on our 1mm gold diamond cut ball chain. We also recommend this chain for 14kt Gold and Diamond Mini Additions™. Our 1.2 mm diamond cut ball chain is used for all Custom Double Gold or Diamond Little Letters and Numbers as well as some select Little Icons™ styles that are heavier in weight (this will be noted in the product's description). Our 1.5 mm diamond cut ball chain is used for our Custom Triple Gold or Diamond Little Letters and Numbers.
Due to the softer and more delicate properties of Sterling Silver, silver chains are Rhodium plated to prevent tarnishing, and are offered in 2 sizes; 1.2 mm diamond cut ball chains for Mini Additions™ and 1.5 mm for all Sterling Silver Little Icons™. All Little Icons™ come with a standard complimentary 16" chain. All chains are available to be upgraded to 18" and 20" (some select styles are also now available in 24") and have a lobster clasp closure.
Our Little Icons™ and Mini Additions™ have very small chain holes and other chains may not fit through them. Our diamond cut chains were specifically selected for our pieces and we do not recommend using other chains.
We’re glad you want to add more charms to your Alex Woo necklace! Our Little Icons™ and Mini Additions™ are designed to be able to slide on and off our chains. Cluster and layer for endless combinations!
