The life of your
Mother's
Bracelet will depend on
the care you provide. For best results, please
follow these helpful tips:
-
Polish the Sterling Silver Jewelry components
(letter beads, round beads, lobster clasps, and
accent charms) regularly using a non-abrasive
jewelry cleaning cloth to maintain the original
condition of your jewelry. See the
Jewelry Cleaning
Cloth recommended by Strands of the Heart.
-
Avoid immersing your
Beaded Jewelry in water
containing chlorine, salt or minerals. Remove
your Beaded Jewelry when applying hand cream or
suntan lotion. Household cleaners contain bleach
and can cause your jewelry to discolor.
-
Avoid abrasive cleaners, detergents and
commercial jewelry cleaner's "dips" especially
if the pieces have an oxidized finish. Using
harsh polishing cleaners will alter the antique
look of your
Mother's
Bracelet.
-
Never use an ultrasonic cleaner, ammonia or
any chemical solution to clean the crystals,
pearls, or glass beads. Simply wipe them gently
with a moist cloth until clean.
-
If your Sterling Silver pieces do tarnish, I
recommend using a commercial product made for
cleaning silver jewelry, but use caution, read
the directions, and wipe with a soft cloth.
However, I do not recommend using any product on
silver with antiquing. It may remove the finish.
-
Never put
Beaded Jewelry in the dishwasher.
