Jewelry Care
Our jewelry is made with the finest quality materials and each piece is meant to remain beautiful throughout the years, as well as to withstand normal child’s play. As with your child’s fine clothing, the better you take care of the jewelry, the better it will look over time. Properly maintained silver improves with time and proper care of your jewels will provide you with a long life and lustrous appearance. Below are some tips to keep your jewelry beautiful:
1. Clean with a small amount of mild detergent and warm water solution and pat dry with a soft cloth. To remove severe tarnish, use dry sterling silver polishing cloths to gently wipe the sterling beads. Never rub silver with anything other than a polishing cloth or fine piece of felt. The use of tissue paper or paper towels can cause scratches due to the fibers in these products.
2. Never drop bracelet in liquid sterling silver cleaner, especially if the jewelry contains pearls. Pearls can be permanently damaged by this type of cleaner.
3. Never wear sterling silver jewelry in the pool or hot tub. Depending on the amount and type of chemicals in the water, exposure to pool water can tarnish or damage sterling silver, and may weaken the stainless steel wire with which the jewelry is strung.
4. Store jewelry in a cool, dry area. Preferably in an airtight container or wrapped in a soft piece of cloth when not wearing. Don’t expose to air and light when storing, this will cause silver to tarnish.
Hand Stamped Necklaces
The only thing we recommend for these Hand Stamped Necklaces is our polishing cloth we sell for $4.00. They are under the "Extras" in each necklace listing or http://www.beadcreationsinternational.com/store/WsDefault.asp?Cat=Extras to purchase it individually.
Do not dip these necklaces in any silver cleaners this will distroy all the work that this necklace was given and the high polish shine will not be there anymore. We might be able to fix it but we will not do it for free then cost will be on a individual base depending on what is wrong with it.
These necklaces are made of all sterling silver and the polishing cloth we sell will work nicely on these necklaces to take off finger prints and make it look nice again.
