Cleaning and care

To keep your jewelry clean, simply take a stiff brush, warm water with a mild solution of sudsy ammonia and gently scrub. Rinse in warm water and dry with soft cloth.

Some chemicals found in certain shampoos, cosmetics and the human body may react unfavorably with the metals of the jewelry. Proper cleaning should remedy discoloration.

Many good professional or home methods for cleaning jewelry are available. We recommend a simple low cost method to clean your jewelry. Use a small stiff brush and a mild solution of ammonia and warm water. Soak the brush in this solution and holding the jewelry as not to immerse it, work the cleaning solution over the entire piece. Take special care to clean the small openings and ridges. A clean dry, soft cloth should be used to dry the jewelry.

A little extra care will ensure the beauty of your investment for many years.

Cultured pearls and opals are extremely beautiful, but fragile. Many dishwashing soaps, acids, vinegars, and normal household chemicals may dull or damage their natural beauty.

Immersing your pearl in solutions may cause the bonding material holding the pearl or opal will dissolve. Thus, the pearl or opal may become detached and be lost. We do not recommend pearls or opals be worn when the jewelry may be subjected to any cleaning or solvent agents. Please take the time to remove your jewelry so these substances can not damage the pearl or opal.
