For all pieces, care should be taken to not wear while swimming either in chlorinated water or salt water as it will corrode the aluminum. If unavoidable, just give it a little rinse with mild soap and a soft toothbrush to remove the chemicals.

To put on a cuff bracelet without bending or cracking it:
Locate the narrowest area of your forearm just below the wrist, using your thumb to reveal the radius bone. Insert the cuff's opening between the radius and ulna bones, gently maneuvering it over the tendons. After passing the ulna bone, pivot the cuff to lay flat on your wrist. 

This method works for both putting on and taking off the cuff, preserving its shape and preventing metal fatigue.  

SHAPING YOUR CUFF TO YOUR WRIST

Gogo Jewelry cuffs are flexible but care should be taken to not squeeze sides until a bend occurs in the metal. Gently applying equal pressure to the cuff when it is ON YOUR WRIST with your whole hand over the cuff should help shape it to your wrist size. Once you have it to where it sits comfortably you should not have to re-shape it again. Just follow the steps above to take on and off.

Anodized aluminum refers to the colorful layers of most Gogo Jewelry pieces. Some jewelry pieces are sterling silver without anodized aluminum, generally earrings and necklaces. If you are unsure about the components of your piece, please ask us. 

CLEANING YOUR JEWELRY:

Sterling Silver + Anodized Aluminum Pieces

We have found that Weiman Silver Wipes  work incredibly well for quick and easy cleaning up sterling. Simply wipe the jewelry down with the cloth and then rinse in water using a soft toothbrush to remove the cleaner from the metals. 

Dry with soft cloth - you can always touch up any lint remnants on your jewelry with a dry soft toothbrush.

TIP: we keep the used cloths in a ziplock to re-use by adding a splash of water if they dry out - extends the use a few times.

Brass and Anodized Aluminum Pieces

If the brass on your piece starts to tarnish, we recommend using BRASSO or a silver polishing cloth to clean. A dry soft toothbrush can be used to clean out the cutouts.

If the brass is very tarnished, use a soft stainless steel welding brush (available at hardware stores) to gently clean. Use a very light touch and diagonal strokes so that the brush does not come into contact with the anodized aluminum. After brushing, use a dry soft toothbrush to clean out the cutouts.
