Due to web browser variances, actual stones may vary in shade from those shown.


Keep your jewelry dry: Keep it away from water, hand sanitizer, dishwashing, soap, lotion, perfume, silver cleaner or other harsh chemicals. These may cause discoloration. If accidently submerged in water, remove jewelry and blot dry immediately.


Last on, First Off: Put your jewelry on after you put your clothes on and before you take them off, to avoid damage due to snagging.


Store your jewelry properly: Store in a jewelry box, velvet pouch or even a ziplock bag to avoid oxidation. Keep your jewelry clean: Clean your jewelry with a soft cloth. DO NOT use jewelry cleaners.
