FAQ’s
Jewelry Care

Your handmade jewelry has beads and components that are fragile so gentle care is required to eliminate cracking or breaking.  Be sure not to wear your jewelry while swimming or showering and avoid dropping or bumping on hard surfaces.  Body lotions or perfumes should always be applied prior to putting your jewelry on.
Sterling Silver: To keep your sterling silver looking new I recommend using Connoisseurs dip style jewelry cleaner available @ Target or use any good quality dip-style jewelry cleaner.  Dip style cleans really well in all the little tight spaces that tarnish easily.  Sterling pieces embellished with glass beads or sea glass are safe using this cleaner.   To help prevent tarnish, you can store sterling silver pieces in a tarnish resistant jewelry roll or an airtight bag (zip lock).

Freshwater Pearls & Semi-precious stones: To care for your jewelry pieces containing freshwater pearls, semi-precious stones, turquoise or coral I recommend Connoisseurs (Delicate) jewelry cleaner.  You may also have them cleaned professionally.   Pearls should never come in contact with water.
