​​​Jewelry Care

​

We recommend to never ever dip a piece of sterling jewelry.  It is harsh on the sterling and compromises the glue or solder that holds stones into their settings.  In some cases it will eat out the oxidation that was intentionally added to make details stand out on a piece or make the piece looked aged.  Once this oxidation has been removed by dipping, it can never be repaired.  Over time, dipping silver will breakdown your sterling and cause pitting on the surface which will irrevocably harm the finish and actually make your piece oxidize faster.  Some stones do not take kindly to being dipped and may lose their luster or even begin to break down after being dipped.  Commercial dips can be fatal if inhaled.  Yikes!  Never use toothpaste or homemade concoctions on your silver. 

​

We recommend using a Sunshine Cloth available for sale on our site.  It is what we use on all of our pieces to give them their shining beauty.  It is safe for all silver, stones, the environment and you.

 

Great tips: 

Storing  sterling silver in airtight bags keeps it from tarnishing.

Always remove your jewelry before doing household cleaning (especially bleach), working out, bathing & swimming. 

Wearing your silver daily actually helps and prevents it from tarnishing.  

Check your stones and settings frequently for looseness.  

If you treat your jewelry with kindness, it will enlighten and inspire you for many generations.

Gemstone Bracelets

You can rest assured that our Gemstones bracelets are handmade by skilled artisans using the finest genuine gemstone beads.  They use the highest grade professional beading cord and they are tied with professional knots.  They are very durable.  It takes a lot to break them, we can attest that they will last for many years.  With this said...life happens and bracelets can get caught on things (gear shifts, doorknobs, etc.) or children and pets can cause a bracelet to fail.  Essential or perfume oils can deteriorate the beading cord too.  Because of the multitude of scenarios - bracelets are one of the things we do not warranty.  That said if you have any problems or issues with a bracelet, please contact us   We want you to be happy with your purchase and will work with in any way we can.  

​

Our 4mm gemstone bracelets contain approximately 40-42  beads and measure approximately 7 1/2 inches.

Our 6mm gemstone bracelets contain approximately 29-30 beads and measure approximately 7 1/2 inches. 

​Our 8mm gemstone bracelets contain approximately 24 beads and measure approximately 7 1/2 inches.

Our 8mm oversized bracelets contain approximately 26-27 beads and measure approximately 8 inches.  

​

Most beads are made by hand and sometimes the beads could be a little larger or smaller than average.  We try to take this into consideration with our bracelets and want to let our customers know this.  Also due to the nature of gemstones, each handmade bracelet will have natural variations in color, shapes & appearance.  Such characteristics are not considered flaws but enhance the uniqueness & beauty of every piece.  Listings will show a gemstone bracelet but it may not be the actual bracelet you we receive, but it will be very similar.

Base Metal Items

We carry many items that are base metal.  Basically this means it is not sterling silver.  Base metals are nonferrous metals that are used in jewelry making and are less expensive than precious metals. Base metals can be mixed together to form a durable base that is desirable for jewelry. Some common base metals include:  aluminum, brass, copper, nickel, tin, and zinc.  Any item we sell that is base metal is listed on the item name or detail.  They can cause aversions to some folks if worn on the skin.and if they get wet they can loose their shine over time but they are a lower cost way to own a piece of gemstone jewelry.
