Caring for your sterling silver jewelry

Most of our items are made of sterling silver and are subject to tarnishing.

• Tarnishing can be prevented by simply storing your jewelry after wear in a zip lock bag which is usually provided with your purchase.

• If your jewelry becomes tarnished, please do not use harsh silver cleaner on the jewelry as this may damage the stones or hand-painting. Instead, I recommend polishing with a jeweler's soft cloth.

• Never use any cleaner on pearls, corals or turquoise since these are very fragile stones.

• Remove all jewelry (and this should be easy to do with Sterling Silver Jewelry) at the end of the night, before showering, before applying hair spray, perfume, deodorant and going into the pool or jacuzzi.

• After wearing, clean with a jeweler's cloth and this should keep your jewelry looking good for a long time.
