Sterling Silver and Gemstone Small Teardrop Pendant

Buying for someone special? Our products come wrapped together in tissue as standard. This is to reduce packaging waste and keep prices low by not including the cost of packaging in our prices, but we appreciate the need for it when giving as a gift. 

A box or organza bag is available for a small extra fee. We don’t make any profit on the price of our gift packaging, it is simply there as an option for gifters. 

If you have any specific packaging requests, for example you’d like something boxed as a set, pop a note in the comments box at checkout or email us at sales@essentialjewellery.com. 

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:
Moonstone needs to be cared for to stay in top condition. Because the stone is sensitive to chemicals and naturally fragile, it should not come in contact with strong perfumes or chemicals, should be kept away from direct sunlight and heat, and should not be hit or knocked against hard surfaces. Moonstone is easily scratched, so it is important to care for it during storage as well. Keep it in a separate pouch away from other jewellery to avoid scratching. To clean your moonstone, wipe the stone with a soft cotton cloth to remove surface oil and dirt. A damp cloth can be used for a deeper clean before buffing with a soft cloth. Ensure the stone is dry before storing. Ultrasonic and steam cleaners are not appropriate for moonstone and are likely to damage the stone.
