Made with Love, Care with Love

Your Catherine Weitzman piece carries a small element of the natural world with you. Just as nature requires care to flourish, your handcrafted jewelry benefits from simple attention to maintain its organic beauty.

Sterling Silver

Like a beach after rainfall, silver naturally changes when exposed to air. To preserve its natural state:

  • Store in an airtight container when not worn (even a simple ziplock works perfectly)
  • Remove tarnish using a soft toothbrush with white toothpaste to maintain the signature matte finish
  • If you prefer a brighter finish, silver cleaners will bring shine, but you can gently restore the matte texture with a very gentle blue Scotch-Brite pad afterward

18k Gold Vermeil

Our vermeil jewelry features heavy 18K gold plating over sterling silver, creating a warm glow that echoes sunrise on island waters:

  • Store in an airtight container between wearings
  • Keep your pieces away from swimming pools, perfumes, and hairsprays
  • Clean only with mild soap and water, avoiding harsh chemicals that can disrupt the natural finish

Shakers & Glass Jewelry

These pieces contain actual elements from our island surroundings, sealed carefully within glass:

  • While durable for daily wear, they connect you to delicate natural elements that require care
  • Keep dry, as they are not waterproof
  • Store in the enclosed jewelry pouch, preferably within an airtight bag

These small moments of care extend the life of your jewelry, allowing it to continue connecting you to the natural world for years to come. Each time you prepare your piece for wearing or carefully store it away, you're honoring both the craftsmanship and the natural elements that inspired it.
