All
ceramic items are non-toxic, lead-free, food, dishwasher, oven and microwave safe. DO
use extra care with ALL your handmade items to prolong their
lives. They can last centuries if cared for properly.
Wearing
your silver jewelry regularly is probably the best way to
prevent tarnishing, but when not wearing it's best kept in
airtight bags to prevent this natural process. It will
eventually begin to oxidize, but a quick swipe with a good
quality, non-abrasive silver polish or cloth or, my personal
favorite, a little toothpaste and water, will shine your
prized pieces right up. Do take care not to scratch
gemstones or wet silk or other natural fiber cording.
How
To Care For Pearls
Proper
care can preserve and extend the life of pearls. Extreme
dryness is damaging; pearls are also sensitive to acids,
perspiration, cosmetics, and hair spray. Since they are
relatively soft, they can be easily scratched. Take care to
store them so that their surface never touches metal or
other gemstones. Make sure not to store in plastic bags.
