Though it is sparkly and fun, you should not wear your beaded jewelry while cleaning (sorry Cinderella), swimming or taking a shower. The chemicals used during these activities are hard on all jewelry parts and it can destroy the finishes on your beads. We recommend that you do not sleep in your Jewelry, as this causes stress on all moving parts. To keep your silver looking it's best and to slow the natural tarnishing process, store it in a dark environment as the air and light tend to accelerate this process. We highly recommend jewelry boxes that are lined with anti-tarnishing fabric. A pre-treated silver cleaning cloth can be used to clean the outer edges of the sterling beads and leave the inner antiqued crevices antiqued. DO NOT DIP YOUR JEWELRY IN ANY CLEANER!
