Happy New Year
Welcome to my shop. I am currently focusing my energies on producing affordable fashion jewelry with a trendy, youth oriented sense. I offer pieces that will appeal to Men, Women & Teen shoppers. I manufacture and/or assemble all of my pieces myself in my home in Southern California USA. My business is in fact very much a one man operation from start to finish.
CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR JEWELRY
All jewelry will tarnish over time. To preserve the patina and resist tarnish DO NOT wear in shower, bath, pool, ocean or submerge in water. Should your jewelry be exposed to excessive water gently pat dry with a non-abrasive cloth.
There are a couple of easy methods to clean your jewelry piece. Both require only household products you should have on hand.
#1 Toothpaste, a tooth brush and a soft cloth for drying. Simply apply some white toothpaste (no jel) to the brush and scrub into the jewelry piece and within seconds it should start cleaning. You might want a small amount of cold water available to help. Then rinse the piece to remove any leftover paste and dry immediately with the soft cloth.
#2 Baking soda, aluminum foil, a bowl and hot water, and a soft cloth. Place the aluminum foil in the bowl, by either lining the bowl or crumpling into the bowl. add some baking soda and the hot water. Place the jewelry piece into the water covering completely. Maybe add some more baking soda to the water if needed. Within seconds the tarnish will be gone. Rinse the piece and dry with the soft cloth.
Here are some YouTube videos to show these 2 methods.

Don't over polish the jewelry piece after cleaning, just rub enough to dry any water away. Your piece should be good as new. Good luck!
