JEWELRY CARE
keep metals looking new and prevent tarnishing
​​
-Store jewelry in the box provided or a jewelry box to prevent tarnishing

​
​
prevent dullness or loss of flash in gemstones
-Ethiopian opals are hydrophane which means when they come into contact with water, they absorb it and become translucent until they dry back out. If you have a piece of jewelry with Ethiopian opal, keep away from water. Remove these pieces while washing hands, shower, or swim
-Be careful not to scratch or crack stones, some are very soft (opal, turquoise, etc.) and might break with a lot of pressure
-To remove dirt, use dish soap and water to gently rub away the dirt, unless Ethiopian opal.
