Storing your items:

Its best to store all jewelry in some kind of container or

jewelry box. But its most important to store items

with metal clasps or beads in

something air tight or even a zip lock baggy

to prevent color change. I myself like to store my

items in baggies inside my jewelry case. I’ve found that

metals be it sterling or plated remains like new for years.

Cleaning Jewelry:

When it comes time to clean your jewelry its best to use

a damp cloth and lightly wipe down your items.

If you have a stubborn stain use the damp cloth dipped in a mild

soap solution. Be sure to clean off all soap to prevent color

change or rub off. When done lay the piece

flat on a dry cloth to soak up any

extra water.

Avoid completely submerging item in water if possible.

Things to avoid:

~ Wearing jewelry while cleaning, to avoid snags.

~ Getting your items wet. If your items do get wet immediately lay

the item on a dry cloth.

~ Try to put your items on after you put on lotions and

perfumes. These things can wear away the color and

finishes of beads.
