No matter how much you pay for your Jewelry, time and wear will
take a toll on it. Here are our best recommendations for cleaning and
taking care of all your jewelry.

When caring for your PANDORA bracelet or jewelry, use a polishing cloth. DO NOT clean your
bracelet with liquid silver cleaner or any kind of chemicals. DO NOT wear your bracelet while in
a pool, while cleaning, or in the shower. DO NOT expose PANDORA to chemicals because they
are given detail by oxidation. For cleaning please us lukewarm soapy water and gently scrub the
jewelry with a soft toothbrush, then rinse with clean water. For a cleaner, shinier look bring
your bracelet or jewelry into the store and we would be more then happy to clean your jewelry
for you with our special cleaners.

For all jewelry:
Try to protect any jewelry from scratches, sharp blows, harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures
and sunlight. Store jewelry separately so it doesn't scratch other jewelry.
When doing household tasks such as gardening and cleaning, be sure to remove rings and all
other jewelry that might be exposed.

Put your jewelry on after washing and applying any makeup/hair spray.

Never wear jewelry while swimming in a swimming pool. The chlorine can cause damage to
various gemstones and gold. Gemstones may become loose in their settings and possibly fall out.

Avoid storing your jewelry next to a heating vent, window sill or on a car dashboard. Store
jewelry away from sunlight as the sun may fade the gemstones.

If you have bead necklaces such as lapis or pearls, store them flat as silk stretches over time.
Most jewelers will restring necklaces or reset stones. Do NOT store pearls in plastic bags!

Hardness is based on a gem-trade standard called the Mohs scale. The higher the Mohs scale
number, the harder the stone is. The highest Mohs scale rating is 10, diamonds. Anything with
a Mohs scale rating of less than 7 is easily scratched such as coral, lapis lazuli, opal, pearl, and
turquoise. Gold, silver, and platinum are only Mohs 2-1/2 to 4. Always carefully store any fine
jewelry.

Sterling silver will polish up by rubbing or buffing it with a soft cotton cloth or a Sunshine
Cloth. If you store silver in plastic bags with an interlocking seal, it will be less prone to tarnish.

Be certain that stones mounted in rings are not loose or rattle. The prongs of a ring can and
do wear down. If the prongs wear down too much or break, you've lost the stone. Prongs are
easily "retipped" by most jewelers to keep the stone secure.
