Jewelry Care
To ensure the longevity of your .925 sterling silver jewelry, please refrain from wearing during swimming, bathing, and strenuous activity. Tarnish may occur over time but can be removed simply with a silver polishing cloth (this can be purchased on Amazon, but a complimentary polishing pad comes with your piece). Frequent wearing of the jewelry will also minimize tarnish. To further reduce the development of tarnish, I suggest storing your pieces in airtight plastic bags.
If your piece has been intentionally darkened (using patina), it is normal for this to fade over time. If you intend to polish your piece, do so carefully as it can remove the patina.

As a reminder, this is a handmade piece and imperfections may be possible. Any and all imperfections (if they exist) will be listed and will not change the integrity of the piece. Any discounts will be reflected in the price.
While photos of pieces remain unedited with the exception of increasing background light, on occasion colors of stones may vary in person. If there is a significant difference in the color in photos versus in real life, this will be mentioned in the listing.
