Cleaning
To clean your jewelry, use a smooth soft 100% cotton cloth to gently wipe each piece.
Remove make-up and skin oils after each wearing.
To remove fingerprints, oils or dirt, add a small amount of mild liquid soap to a half cup of
warm water, soak for 2-3 minutes, rinse thoughly with clean water, and dry.

Storing
Store jewelry separately so it doesn't scratch other jewelry.
Avoid exessive heat when storing.
Do not store in sunlight.

Important warning about caring for your jewelry!
Always remove your rings and fine jewelry before using any product that contains bleach,
alcohol, turpentine, acetone, and ammonia! Bleach can cause gold and other materials to
break down leaving the metal unrepairable. Petroleum based products can actually "melt"
amber and do significant damage to pearls, emeralds, and opals.

Put your jewelry on after washing and applying any makeup/hair spray.

Never wear jewelry while swimming in a swimming pool. The chlorine can cause damage
to various gemstones and gold. Gemstones may become loose in their settings causing them
to fall out.

Never use toothpaste or other abrasives to clean metal or stones.

Be VERY careful when soaking any stones such as, amber, lapis lazuli, turquoise, emerald,
opal or pearls. Extended soaking in any solution may harm the polish or any treatment on
the stone. Many stones should not be placed in an ultrasonic cleaner.
