Jewelry Care Tips

Don't be careless with your jewelry.  Treat your jewelry carefully and it will last you a long, long time.

To keep your jewelry dust and dirt free, and to prevent your silver from tarnishing, store your pieces in a jewelry box with the lid closed (or a zip lock bag).  Wrapping your jewelry in a soft cloth will also keep it clean and prevent the silver from tarnishing.  Wrapping your pieces individually will prevent scratching.  Be gentle - do not toss your pieces into your jewelry box or purse.

Never place your jewelry in a chemical dip or ionic cleaner.  Semi-precious stones can be cleaned with a damp cloth.  Beads and crystals can be cleaned with mild soapy water (lukewarm water, not hot); ensure that you remove all traces of soap.  Gently pat dry using a soft cloth and make sure your jewelry is completely dry before storing again.  To clean your silver, use a silver polishing cloth - never use tissue or paper towels as they contain fibers that can easily scratch -  silver is a metal that can scratch or dent easily.  Do not use solvents or any harsh chemicals.

And lastly, always apply your hairspray, perfume, and cosmetics before putting your jewelry on.
