Caring for Your Jewelry


I use the best 925 sterling and 999 fine silver on the market. It is 100% nickel free. And yes, it will tarnish. It is a completely normal process of oxidation. There are some alternate forms of silver that don’t tarnish as rapidly, like argentium, but I prefer regular sterling silver, which has stood the test of time. So you’ll have to clean your fabulous jewelry at some point. Sorry. :(

Here are some care and cleaning tips to help:

​The #1 biggie is prevention.
​Store your jewelry in a closed box, away from air, light and humidity. This will slow the process down so you don’t have to clean as often. I give nice boxes with my necklaces and jewelers tissue that doesn’t cause tarnish. I’m trying to help you! Plastic baggies are ok too, for earrings, but I don’t recommend putting my necklaces in them because it can kink the wire the seed beads are on.

DO NOT STORE YOUR JEWELRY IN THE BATHROOM, ever. Humidity causes tarnish.

​Even with the best care, you will have to clean your jewelry at some point.
