Jewelry Care Guide
Care & Keeping
The ASCND Standard
Every ASCND piece is machined from 316L surgical-grade stainless steel and sealed beneath an 18K gold PVD finish — chosen to endure the life you live in it. Give it a little intention, and it will hold its light for years.
Before it goes on, pause. Set your intention for the day and let the piece carry it — a reminder of how far you've come, and where you're headed.
Daily Wear
Do
- +Dry it off any time it takes a real soaking — one pass with a soft cloth does it
- +Dress first, adorn last — cologne, lotion, and product all go on before the piece
- +Rest it in its suede pouch between wears, with the black anti-tarnish tab tucked alongside
- +Move through your collection rather than leaning on one favorite — shared wear is slower wear
Don't
- —Keep it far from bleach, chlorine, and acetone — harsh chemistry is what gold fears most
- —Set it aside before you train, or put your hands to anything rough
- —Mist cologne into the air and walk through it — never onto the metal
- —Give every piece its own space; tangled chains wear on one another
On Water & Wear
A shower won't touch it, and neither will the sweat of a hard session — but chlorine and saltwater dull gold over time, so leave it behind before the pool or the ocean. It's made for the everyday, so sleeping in it is no issue; only take it off before heavy training, where grip and impact are hardest on the finish.
How to Clean
Let it rest a few minutes in warm water with a drop or two of mild dish soap.
Draw a soft microfiber cloth gently across every surface and link.
Run it under cool water until every trace of soap is gone.
Blot it fully dry before it returns to the pouch.
Worn with intention. Cared for the same way.
