Sterling Silver:
Sterling silver naturally tarnishes and this is completely normal.  However, there are many things you can do to
keep your sterling silver from tarnishing (or at least slow down the process).  Keep your jewelry in an air-tight
plastic bag or an anti-tarnish jewelry gift box.  It is a good idea to keep your jewelry in a dry, cool place such as a
jewelry box.  If your silver does tarnish, simply clean it off using an anti-tarnish or jewelry cleaning cloth.  Be
careful not to polish any other beads while cleaning your silver.  Do not use jewelry cleaner on any sterling silver
jewelry.  

Beaded Jewelry:

  • Always put your bracelets and necklaces on by opening the clasp.  Do no try to force them on with the
    clasp hooked.  This kind of force will most likely break the piece.
Do not wear your jewelry while showering, cleaning, swimming, or during physical activity.  Hairspray, deodorant,
perfumes, household cleaners, chlorine, etc...could damage your jewelry.
  • Do not use jewelry cleaner on gemstones, pearls, crystals, or any other type of bead.  Instead, use a damp
    cloth to wipe off your beads.  
  • Try not to drop your jewelry onto a hard surface.  Natural gemstones are porous and may chip or crack if
    dropped.

By following these basic tips you will be able to enjoy your jewelry for many years!
