The care and “feeding” of handcrafted custom jewelry

Do NOT use sonic cleaners, boiling water or commercial jewelry cleaners as they may contain alcohol or ammonia and may cause damage to the crystal or plating.OPAQUE GEMSTONES:Clean opaque stones – opals, lapis, jade, turquoise and malachite – by wiping with a soft cloth after each use. Avoid used soap and water as these could possibly be absorbed by the gemstone.TRANSPARENT GEMSTONES:Fill a container (not a sink) with water and a tiny amount of liquid soap. Allow gemstones to soak, then use a soft brush to clean the stones.If soiled, use a soft brush to wash your crystals in lukewarm water with a small amount of liquid detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, lint-free towel and finish with a polishing cloth to remove fingerprints.
