Jewelry Care

Care;
We package each of our jewelry creations in a cotton lined box.  We recommend you store it in this box or bag to protect it and ensure it will last a lifetime.  If not stored properly any of your jewelry can be damaged or lose its color or luster.    

  • Avoid scenarios that can crush or catch delicate wire wrapped jewelry.
  • Do not throw jewelry into a drawer or pile with other jewelry or things that can damage it.
  • Avoid storing in direct sunlight, excessive heat, cold, or area with extreme temperature changes (ie-near windows,vents,ducts).
  • Do not expose to harsh chemicals or household cleaners.
  • Remove when applying hairspray, perfume, lotion or any skincare/makeup.
  • Do not swim wearing jewelry, chlorine can pit gold, silver, & gems.

Cleaning;
My favorite Wire Jewelry Cleaning Tools…
A SOFT toothbrush, an artists paint brush, a cotton-flannel cloth, & a polishing cloth. 

  • Cover the drain, in case you drop your jewelry.
  • Run luke-warm water at a gentle stream.
  • Rub soap on the stone with your fingers or soft artist paint brush, I do NOT recommend brushing gems unless you know they are hard and can tolerate brushing…many stones can NOT be brushed.
  •  Use the artists paintbrush (or Qtip) on the entire piece of jewelry if it has fine gauge wire or has delicate designs or stones—to avoid bending, scratching, or damaging the wire or gemstone.
  • Use the toothbrush or paintbrush to brush soap on GENTLY on the wire, taking care not to catch the bristles between the wires.  Moving the brush perpendicular to the direction of the wires helps avoid  snagging bristles between them.
  • Rinse thoroughly with water and pat dry with paper towel or a non-snagging cotton cloth.
  • Once the jewelry has thoroughly dried, you can buff it gently with a polishing cloth.
  • HINT- If tarnish is stubborn, I brush the soap on, let it sit for 5-10 minutes and rinse with water.
  • *I DO NOT RECOMMEND TOOTHPASTE!  IT IS ABRASIVE AND DIFFICULT TO CLEAN OFF WIRE WRAPPED JEWELRY!
