| | Jewelry Care Proper care of Swarovski crystals and pearls, semi-precious gemstones and pearls are important to their lasting life and beauty. All of the hand strung bracelets should not be worn continually (while sleeping, cleaning, etc.) or in any body of water. Many of the bracelets are strung with a silk thread which may be stretched in any of these conditions. A simple polishing cloth is all that is needed to clean these bracelets. The necklace sets should be stored flat or hanging to prevent kinks. Sterling silver will tarnish over time, all you need is to rub it with a polishing cloth to restore it's luster. You should not submerse pearls, shells or any other organic gem in liquid cleaners. The semi-precious gemstones and pearls are elements of the earth. Therefore their will be slight variations in color, shape, size etc. but they are an integral part of the beauty of each Finishing Touch piece.
