TOVA Jewelry Care, Materials and Buying at Accents Boutique

TOVA publishes a care guide for its jewelry, and it is worth following: plated fashion jewelry lasts far longer when it is kept away from water and chemicals. Here is TOVA’s guidance, what the pieces are made of, and how to buy TOVA from Accents Boutique in Marble Falls, TX.

Materials

What is TOVA jewelry made of?

TOVA says it uses high-quality crystals, semi-precious stones and hand-painted enamels. Our own TOVA listings give the base metal as brass, plated in antique gold or light gold. One ring, the Twiggy Plus, lists brass and pewter.

Is TOVA jewelry real gold?

No. TOVA is fashion jewelry: brass plated in antique gold or light gold, not solid gold. That is why the care guidance below matters.

What is antique gold plating?

A gold-toned plating given a darker, aged finish rather than a bright polish. It is what gives TOVA its vintage look, and it is the most common finish in the range at Accents.

Does TOVA come in silver?

TOVA’s own range lists antique silver plating as well as antique gold. Most of what Accents carries is antique gold, so call (830) 693-7573 to ask about silver-tone pieces.

Is TOVA jewelry hypoallergenic?

TOVA says its pieces are made with hypoallergenic components, and our listing for the Jubilee hoops repeats that. If you have a known metal sensitivity, we would rather you try a piece on in store than take our word for it. Call (830) 693-7573 and our team will help.

Does TOVA jewelry tarnish?

Our Jubilee hoops listing describes the antique gold plated brass as tarnish-resistant. All plated jewelry will dull over time if it meets water, perfume or lotion, which is what TOVA’s care guide is there to prevent.

Are TOVA crystals real stones?

TOVA describes its pieces as using high-quality crystals and semi-precious stones. Colors named in a style, such as turquoise or emerald, describe the color of the crystal rather than a guarantee of natural stone. For a specific piece, call (830) 693-7573 and our team will read you the listing.

What is hand-painted enamel?

A colored glass-like coating applied and fired by hand. TOVA uses it for solid blocks of color alongside the crystals.

Where is TOVA jewelry made?

In Canada. TOVA is based in Montreal, Quebec, and our listings describe the pieces as handmade in Canada.

Care

How do I care for TOVA jewelry?

TOVA’s rule is Last On, First Off: put your jewelry on after you are dressed and your makeup and hairspray are done, and take it off first at the end of the day.

What should I keep TOVA jewelry away from?

TOVA lists water, dish-washing soap, lotion, perfume, silver cleaner and other harsh chemicals.

Can I wear TOVA in the shower or the pool?

No. TOVA says to take jewelry off for dishes, laundry, pools and spas, and notes that chlorinated water can react with the metals found in jewelry.

Can I wear TOVA in the hot tub?

No. TOVA specifically names spas alongside pools as something to remove jewelry for.

Can I clean TOVA with jewelry cleaner?

No. TOVA says commercial jewelry cleaners are way too harsh for fashion jewelry, which is usually plated with precious metals. Wipe the piece with a soft dry cloth instead.

How do I clean TOVA jewelry?

Gently, and dry. A soft cloth to lift dust and skin oils is all TOVA asks for. No dips, no cleaner, no scrubbing around the crystals.

When should I put my jewelry on?

After you are dressed, and after makeup and hairspray. TOVA notes those products contain chemicals that damage jewelry, and dressing with jewelry on risks catching and breaking a piece.

How should I store TOVA jewelry?

TOVA suggests a jewelry box or silk or velvet pouches so pieces do not knock together, wrapping pieces in anti-tarnish paper or an eyeglass cloth, or sealing them in a Ziploc bag with the air squeezed out to slow oxidization.

Why does air matter for storing jewelry?

Air is what causes tarnishing, which is why TOVA suggests squeezing the air out of a storage bag or wrapping pieces in anti-tarnish paper.

Should I take TOVA off to cook or garden?

Yes. TOVA lists cooking, gardening and laundry as times to remove jewelry, both to avoid damage and to keep it away from chemicals.

Can I wear TOVA every day?

Yes, with the care guidance above. Studs and small pieces suit daily wear best; save the big cluster necklaces and cuffs for occasions where they will not get knocked.

What do I do if a crystal falls out of my TOVA piece?

Bring it in. Call (830) 693-7573 or stop by 212 Ave H in Marble Falls and our team will look at it and tell you what we can do. We cannot promise a repair, but we would rather see it than guess.

Does TOVA offer a warranty?

TOVA does not publish a warranty for pieces bought through a retailer. If something is wrong with a TOVA piece you bought from us, call (830) 693-7573 and our team will work out the next step with you.
