DO
* The best thing you can do for your jewelry is wear it, and often.
The natural oils from your body help keep sterling silver polished,
and is absorbed by porous pearls and semi precious stones which
keeps them vibrant and beautiful.
CLEAN
* If you do run into a situation where the sterling silver is getting
too tarnished to your liking, and normal wear seems to no longer
do the trick it may be time for a great cleaning trick that works
like a charm and does not damage the natural products in your product:
What
you need:
-Luke warm tap water
-Aluminum foil (this can be in the form of just a piece of foil
from a roll, or an aluminum container)
-A teaspoon of Washing Soda
(call Arm & Hammer at 1-800-524-1328 to find a store that sells
it near you) (If you do not have access to Washing soda, a 50/50
mix of salt and baking soda will do too- though not as good in my
experience)
-A bowl (unless you are using an aluminum container)
In case of aluminum foil, run warm tap water into a bowl with the
washing soda and submerge aluminum foil in water, the piece just
has to be big enough to fit in the bowl. If you are using an aluminum
container, it becomes the bowl and dissolve Washing soda in the
warm tap water in it.
You only need enough water to submerge the piece of jewelry.
Submerge sterling jewelry into the water and make sure all of it
touches the aluminum, do this by moving the piece around a bit atop
the aluminum. Leave in this water for about 10 minutes. (NOTE, NEVER
submerge soldered wallpaper pendants in water, these are not waterproof)
Remove
the jewelry from the water and wash & rinse thoroughly under
running luke warm water with soap, and then let air-dry until completely
dry.
DO
NOT
Wear any jewelry while showering or swimming. This jewelry is not
made to withstand such treatment and you risk ruining it if you
do.
