As these Pearls are a natural material, each one will vary slightly in size, color and shape, adding to their unique character.

Sterling silver is an alloy containing metals that react with chemicals found in the air and produce tarnish; high moisture levels, exposure to sunlight, perfume, skin and hair product, and contaminants such as saltwater increase this reaction and can even damage stones – especially pearls.

Always apply products before putting on jewelry, and wait a few minutes to be absorbed by the skin. Avoid spraying perfume or hairspray directly onto your jewelry. Remove jewelry when doing physical work, playing sports, etc. Most tarnish is easily removed by polishing with a mild abrasive or soaking in an anti-tarnish solution. Take steps to protect your sterling/pearl  investments by storing them in a cool, dry place.
