Caring for handmade jewelry

Small habits that keep silver bright and stones alive for decades.

Caring for handmade jewelry

Put your jewelry on last and take it off first. Perfume, creams and hairspray are the fastest way to dull a finish.

Store pieces separately in a soft pouch. Silver darkens in open air — a closed box slows it down dramatically.

Polish with a dry cotton cloth only. Never soak strung gemstones — water weakens the thread over time.
