If you want to keep your handcrafted treasures looking like new, follow these simple steps:

​

Proper care, storing and cleaning will prolong the life and beauty of Belle’s Nefertiti Jewelry!

​

Storing your jewelry:

​

~ Keep necklaces from being tangled by hanging them in a jewelry box or on a jewelry organizer or even on a hook.

~ Earrings can be hung on an earring stand or even the edge of a cute cup, mug or another makeshift earring stand that will prevent them from being scratched, tangled or otherwise damaged.

~ Rings should be in a jewelry box or drawer.

~ Silver jewelry must be kept sealed when not worn in a box or sealed container even a plastic ziplock bag (with all the air pushed out) would do. This prevents it from receiving air and moisture which induces tarnishing.

​

Cleaning your custom jewelry:

​

Always use a cleaner meant for the item you are cleaning, this is a great rule to go by. Gold cleaners for gold silver for silver, and so on. Gemstones and beads are a bit different, and harsh cleaners that are used for metal can damage them and they will lose their luster or shine.  A cleaning/polishing cloth in its dry state is usually enough to clean and polish your jewelry. We recommend doing this when you remove your jewelry to keep it clean.

​

DO NOT! Steam, boil or place your handmade jewelry in an ultrasonic cleaner. DO! Use a damp (never wet) or dry soft, clean, lint-free cloth, Chamois or Microfiber cloth to clean and polish.

​

Protecting your Handmade Jewelry:

​

Before your jewelry gets damaged or dirty, here is how you make sure it has a longer life. Don’t wear handmade jewelry while swimming, sunbathing, etc. Put your make up and perfume on before putting on your jewelry!
