Jewelry Care

  • It is ideal that your jewelry should be taken off when you get home. 
  • Jewelry should not be worn when doing house work, gardening, or sports, especially swimming. 
  • Avoid wearing jewelry while applying lotions and perfumes.
  • For gold and gemstone jewelry, dilute dish detergent in a small bowl of warm water and soak each piece for a 3-5 mins. Gently clean your item by using a soft bristle toothbrush. To ensure you removed all the diluted dish soap, rinse your jewelry under warm running water, and pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Be sure to dry your jewelry completely before wearing again. 
  • Storing sterling silver in an airtight plastic bag will slow down the tarnishing process.
  • To clean oxidized jewelry, simply use soap and warm water with an old toothbrush. A polishing cloth will remove the finish.
  • If a bright piece has tarnished you can purchase a product called Tarnex (found at your local grocery store), pour a small amount in a non-food container, swish or dip the piece momentarily, and then remove and rinse very well and dry. The product can then be returned to the bottle.
