Seashell Jewelry Care

Our shell jewelry is made from real, local seashells. These shells have been cleaned and a clear coating has been placed on them for protection. Here are some things to keep in mind when caring for our shell jewelry.

Our shell jewelry is set in sterling silver which will tarnish over time.

Do:

  • Keep away from other objects or jewelry that could cause scratches. Ideally, our seashell jewelry should be kept in a jewelry box with a soft lining, fabric pouches, or within a soft cloth

  • Clean with a soft cloth or take to a professional jeweler to have them cleaned with dustless polishing brushes.

Dont:

  • Frequent sun exposure can sun bleach shells. Avoid storing them where there is constant sun exposure.

  • We suggest avoiding wearing your shell jewelry when using cleaning products or entering chlorinated pools or hot tubs since these can damage your jewelry.

  • Do not apply makeup, lotions, or perfumes while wearing these. After applying these products, you should wait until they are dry to put on your jewelry.

  • Avoid wearing during exercise.

  • Do not clean with polish or cleaning solutions. Also do not clean in an ultrasonic machine.
