Sterling Silver Care:
To keep this item in best condition when it is not being worn: store away from air, preferably in a plastic bag or wrapped in acid free tissue. Should a surface layer of tarnish appear, simply polish off using an ESSENTIAL polishing cloth. For a deeper clean, soak the piece in warm water and mild soap for a few minutes before wiping dry with a soft cloth. Ensure all soap product is rinsed off thoroughly to avoid any residue being left on the silver. Avoid contact with chemicals such as household cleaning products. Ensure any body lotions/perfume are fully absorbed by the skin before wearing jewellery. Sterling silver jewellery should not be worn in chlorinated water. Silver should not be subjected to sudden changes in heat and so we do not recommend wearing your jewellery in Jacuzzis, saunas or steam rooms.

Gemstone Care:
Freshwater Pearls can be easily scratched due to their delicate nature. For this reason, we recommend storing your pearls in their own pouch or tissue, away from other jewellery. To clean your Freshwater Pearls, wipe them with a soft cotton cloth to remove surface oil and dirt. If using a silver polishing cloth to shine up your jewellery, ensure it is only used on the silver parts of your jewellery, do not use it on your freshwater pearls as the cloth contains an anti-tarnish cleaning substance that is not appropriate for pearls. For a deeper clean, wipe with a damp cotton cloth and leave to dry before storing. We do not recommend wearing Freshwater Pearls in the shower or swimming pool. Keep away from chemicals such as cosmetics, perfume and cleaning products. Ultrasonic or steam cleaners are not appropriate for pearls and are likely to damage the pearl.

Length of necklace 45cm (18 inch). Has 1 inch extension chain to lengthen to 19 inch. Pearls are approximately 5mm in diameter.
