Caring For Your Jewelry

Care Instructions:
Jewelry is an important investment and should be cared for properly. Here are some helpful guidelines. Retaining the luster of your silver is very important. You should clean and polish periodically with a Silver Polishing Cloth. It is non-toxic and combines no-scratch particles and chemical cleaners that give a lasting luster to your silver. Use it whenever the silver starts to appear dull. It should last you a very long time.

Do not use silver cleaning dips. They will remove the antiquing from the silver which gives interest to your piece and they will damage the gemstones. I recommend asking a jeweler's recommendation for a cloth that will clean gemstones as well. Also, see cleaning instructions included with your order.

Avoid using cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they may alter the color of your gem stone.

Avoid getting makeup, perfume and hairspray on your gem stone jewelry.

Avoid using ultrasonic cleaning machines, since the vibrations may damage brittle gem stones.

Never store gem stone jewelry wrapped with diamonds. Diamonds may scratch the softer gem stones.

Have your gem stone jewelry professionally cleaned and serviced annually. Your jeweler will check that clasps and prongs are not worn or broken.

Use a professional jeweler to repair your gem stone jewelry.

Between professional cleanings soak gem stone jewelry in warm, soapy water for several minutes and use a soft, non-metallic brush to remove dirt and grime.

Always clean gem stone jewelry in a bowl, not your sink to eliminate a chance losing your heirloom down the drain.

Store your gem stone jewelry pieces separately in tissue or cloth and in separate compartments of a jewelry box. The original gem stone jewelry box is usually the best one for storage.

Remove your gem stone jewelry when doing housework, cleaning or gardening and before any beauty salon treatments. Chemicals can harm or ruin your gem stone gem stone.

Have safety chains or safety clasps installed on your more expensive or sentimental gem stone jewelry pieces.

Add your gem stone jewelry to your home insurance policy. Jewelry insurance is usually quite affordable.
