Jewelry Care Tips
Follow these pointers to prolong the life of
your bauble and to prevent breakage.  
Pearls:
Never hang pearls.  This will stretch out the thread and it
will start to show between the pearls.  Usually knotted
jewelry will need to be re-knotted once a year depending
on how often it is worn.  Click
here for information on our
Pearl Knotting Services and our Knotting with silk
class.

Beaded Necklaces & Bracelets:
It is best to store these items loosely on a flat surface.  
Make sure no stress is being put on the piece to avoid any
breakage or stretching.  Bring any broken jewelry back to
its original luster in our
Jewelry Rehab event.

Loose stones:
When you notice a stone moving or rattling in its setting
apply some glue to prevent the stone from falling out.

...also

Wait 15 or so minutes to put on your jewelry after
applying perfume or body lotion.  Beauty products can put
on excessive build up on your jewelry.

Take off all jewelry before going into a swimming pool.  
The chlorine in the pool water can damage some finishes
on your jewelry.

Store your baubles in a dry and moisture free space.  This
will prevent it from premature tarnishing.
