Jewelry Care

Sterling Silver          Gold Fill          Beads and Stones         Storage

Cleaning Sterling Silver

• Use a silver polishing cloth such as the Sunshine cloth.  Or
• Use a paste of baking soda and water.  With a soft toothbrush, rub gently.  Rinse the piece and dry thoroughly.
• Be careful with surrounding beads or stones with both methods. 
• The chemicals in some liquid cleaners are too harsh for pearls and some stones.

Cleaning Gold Fill

• Wash gold fill pieces in soapy water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Cleaning Stones and Beads

•  Body oils, lotions and perfumes will begin to slightly alter the color of some stones.  Stones can be wiped with a soft cloth before storage.  Wash in soapy water occasionally.  Remember to dry thoroughly.   Don't wear your piece of jewelry when swimming or bathing.

Storage

• Use a zip-top bag to store you piece.  Doing this doesn't look as nice as when you hang your piece in a jewelry box, but it will reduce some tarnish.  Pearl jewelry should not be stored in plastic.
