JEWELRY PRODUCT CARE

Always:

• Apply lotion, cosmetics, hairspray, and perfume before dressing in jewelry. Ensure hands and fingers are clean to avoid smudging. Applying lotion to hands after accessorizing is always best!

• When undressing, wipe each piece with a clean soft cloth to remove oils and perspiration.
  Store in a fabric-lined box, separately or individually, in original box or soft cloth jewelry bag.

 

Never:

• Never wear jewelry when doing physical work such as housekeeping, gardening or exercise.

• Never expose jewelry to household cleaning products.

• Never expose jewelry to water in showers and baths, swimming pools or hot tubs.

 

Jewelry Care and Jewelry Cleaning Tips:

 

1. To maintain the original condition of your silver jewelry, polish your pieces regularly using a non-abrasive cleaning cloth.

2. Remember do not dry silver off with paper towels or tissues, always use a soft cloth.

3. When you are not wearing your silver jewelry, store them in a cool, dry place. Zip-lock bag and individual cloth pouches are ideal for this and will help prevent both tarnishing and scratching by other pieces.

4. Never immerse your silver jewelry in chlorine, salt water, mineral springs, and suntan lotion. Remember, some household cleaners contain chlorine bleach. These will cause discoloration and also loosen the gemstones.

5. Avoid abrasive cleaners, detergents, and commercial jewelry cleaners (“dips”) especially if the pieces have an oxidized finish. Using harsh polishing cleaners will alter the antique look of your jewelry.

6. Never use an ultrasonic cleaner, ammonia or any chemical solution to clean opaque gemstones, such as pearls, turquoise, malachite, onyx, lapis lazuli and opals. They are a porous stone and may absorb chemicals, which build up inside the stone and cause discoloration. Simply wipe them gently with a moist cloth until clean.

7. If your jewelry contains gemstones or pearls, do not immerse in water, as this can loosen some settings. Never use dips or abrasives cleaners on gemstones.

8. Chlorine bleach, denatured alcohol, turpentine, acetone, and ammonia can also cause harm. These chemicals can dull or even pit the surface on softer gemstones. Petroleum based products can actually “melt” amber if allowed to remain on the stone and they can do significant damage to pearls.
