Jewelry Care Information

Dear customers,
please read care instruction before ordering.

Care for gemstones: It is advisable to avoid any shocks and scratches, due to which the stone can be damaged. Also I recommend removing jewelry with gemstones before contacting any detergents. Otherwise, the stones can be contaminated. In most cases they can be cleaned with a soft brush. But for opal it is necessary to exclude any contact with detergents because of its ability to absorb chemicals. Contact with chemicals can lead to discoloration. Moreover natural opal absorbs a some amount of moisture, it is not recommended to allow it to dry out excessively (for example by reason of very dry air or strong sunlight).

Care for sterling silver: We use standard sterling silver alloy, which contains 92.5% of pure silver, 5,25% of copper and 2,25% of zinc. We do not use any additional additives, including nickel. Copper and zink is added to silver to give hardness because pure silver is too soft for making jewelry. However, you should know that even sterling silver is a relatively soft metal (for example, when compared with steel) and it is subject to mechanical damage. Therefore, I do not recommend exposing it to heavy loads and shocks, as well as contact with other metal objects, otherwise silver may bend or break.

You can use a soft brush or flannel cloth to clean it if the silver jewelry has darkened.

Please follow care instructions and your jewelry will please you a long time. But let me know if you have any problems with our jewelry and I will try to help restore them.
