Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about how to care for and preserve your handmade jewelry from Janette Marie.
How should I clean my handmade jewelry?
To clean your handmade jewelry, use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe away any dirt or oils. A pro-pad is highly recommended to brighten silver, bronze, antique copper and gold jewelry. It will give most metals a brand new and refreshed look and can remove tarnish from older jewelry. However, avoid using harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners as they can damage the natural gemstones.
How do I store my jewelry to prevent tarnishing?
Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place, preferably in a fabric-lined jewelry box or a soft pouch. Keep each piece separate to avoid scratches and tangling.
Can I wear my handmade jewelry in the shower or while swimming?
It is best to remove your handmade jewelry before showering, swimming, or engaging in any activity that exposes it to water or chemicals. This helps to maintain its beauty and longevity.
