Care Instructions

Jewellery made from natural materials such as stones and pearls requires specific care to maintain its beauty and longevity. This is particularly true for beaded necklaces that incorporate gold-filled and sterling silver hardware. Proper maintenance can significantly extend the life of these unique pieces.

Avoid harsh chemicals

• Household cleaners, perfumes, and lotions can damage pearls and stones.
• Apply such products before wearing jewellery and let them dry completely.

Gentle cleaning

• Wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear.
• For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and mild soap briefly, then wipe gently.
• Avoid prolonged soaking to prevent weakening the stringing material.

Care for pearls

• Freshwater pearls are porous and absorb moisture and oils.
• Keep them dry and store in a cool, dry place.
• Use a soft pouch or lined jewellery box to prevent scratches and tangling.

Gold-filled and sterling silver hardware care

• Gold-filled components can tarnish; polish with a specialized jewellery cloth.
• Use silver polish or a cloth designed for silver care for sterling silver.
• Regular maintenance preserves your piece.

Avoid moisture and physical stress

• Do not wear necklaces during swimming, exercising, or showering to prevent damage.

Proper care ensures the longevity and beauty of stone and pearl beaded necklaces with gold-filled and sterling silver hardware.
