Caring for Your Surf Gems

Your Surf Gems are made for adventure—whether you're chasing waves, exploring new places, or simply soaking up the sun. Each piece is handcrafted from Surf Rocks, giving new life to the vibrant byproduct of surfboard production.

Wear Them Everywhere, But Handle with Care

Ocean-friendly? Absolutely! The gems themselves can handle water, but the sterling silver ear wires are sensitive to saltwater and may tarnish over time. That said, we encourage you to wear them regularly—the natural oils from your skin will help keep the silver shiny for years to come!

Avoid drops on hard surfaces! Due to the unique nature of Surf Rocks, certain layers of built-up dust from board shops can cause fracture breaks if dropped. If this happens, don’t worry—a dab of super glue can often fix it seamlessly.

Cleaning & Storage

To clean your gems: Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If needed, use mild soap and water—just be sure to dry them thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives.

To store: Keep them in a dry sealed place, ideally in a jewelry pouch or box, to protect both the gems and silver components.

Polishing your silver: Sterling silver will naturally tarnish over time, but regular wear helps keep it shiny. Simply rub the ear wires with a silver cleaning cloth, or even with your fingers—the natural oils in your skin will help maintain their luster!

Keep the Story Going

Your Surf Gems are made from repurposed materials, giving new life to what would have been discarded. Wear them with pride, share their story, and help us spark conversations about sustainability and creativity.
