Jewelry Care
General Care tips:
- #1 Tip: Moisture & Chemicals are the enemy of metals. Therefore:
- Put your jewelry on last to avoid wetting it with perfume, hair spray, etc.
- Humidity and sweat will shorten the life of your jewelry
- Avoid showering & swimming in jewelry
- Be especially careful with delicate matte, silver finishes
- Polishing your jewelry with a jewelry cloth can bring back the shine! (Use this one for solid brass only.)
- When storing your jewelry at the end of the season, use anti-tarnish strips or bags to keep out the moisture.
Necklaces
When wearing long necklaces, be careful of seatbelts and carrying children. These activities can put a lot of strain on the pendant or chain.
Bracelets
Roll bracelets over your hand. (See this demo). It's easy and will GREATLY increase the life of your stretch bracelets!
Waterproof Pieces
Do you remember that little white bag that came with your purchase can also be used to polish your pieces? If you can't find it then used an old tee shirt. If your jewelry is feeling especially dirty, first soak it in warm water and mild dish soap.
Brass Pieces
Make sure your piece is raw brass, because this tip will damage any finish or other metals. Polish brass using Brasso. If you have more sensitive skin, try Sparkle Bright.
