Jewelry Care
SILVER CARE:
Sterling silver jewelry will naturally tarnish with time & wear. Some pieces will look better over time like this! If removing tarnish is desired, please use the personal polishing cloth included with your shipment or if a piece has a matte or sandblasted finish, you may use a soft toothbrush and liquid detergent. Take care with pieces that have fragile natural gemstones such as pearls, opals, or moonstones.
Oxidized silver may develop shine in high wear spots over time. This is especially true for rings. The patina is meant to stay within the texture, but might change in contrast over time. Be careful around abrasives (steel wool, certain cleaners) that can scratch the finish. Sweat, showers, exposure to pools, might accelerate this process.
ENAMELS:
No cleaning is needed for enamel jewelry, but it is made from powdered glass and care must be taken in dropping enameled pieces. The artist is not responsible for chips due to accidents and/or dropping the piece.
MAGNETIC CLASPS: Some pieces come with a sterling silver coated magnetic clasp. These are susceptible to rust over time and more so if there is exposure to chemicals found in pools and hot tubs.
