Jewelry Care

How to Care for your Handmade Jewelry

• Sterling silver can be stored in an anti-tarnish bag or zip-top poly bag.
• Other pieces can be stored in a pouch or the box it came in.
• Never toss your lovely jewelry in a drawer or on a countertop - this may scratch or damage soft metals and gemstones.
• A safety nut on your earrings can prevent loss.
• Jewelry should be removed before swimming, working out (sweating) and using household cleaners. 
• Avoid spraying perfume or rubbing lotion on your jewelry.
• Stretch bracelets should be rolled onto your wrist rather than stretched.
• Take care when pulling a sweater on/off over your jewelry, so as not to catch it in the fabric.
• Try to avoid extreme heat or light which may fade or damage some gems.
