Wear and Care

• Sterling Silver does tarnish over time especially when interacting with moisture in the air. Hence, when not wearing jewelry it should be kept in a pouch inside a closed box.
• To clean jewelry soak in a warm solution of mild soap for about 10 minutes and then scrub with a soft tooth brush and rinse with warm water and then dry.
  • Specially treated cleaning cloth as well as cleaning fluids for jewelry are available for purchase and use on the internet
• Always take off jewelry prior to bathing, showering, sports activities and sleeping to avoid any damage
  • Silver is a soft metal and tends to scratch when rubbing against hard surfaces and it must be avoided. Therefore, each piece needs to stored separately.
