Yes!  We are happy to discuss what you might be interested in – a different length or size on a featured item. We have always had a “special order” book and have had great success in working with people with specific needs.

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY JEWELRY? 

We recommend storing our jewelry in zip-lock bags which we provide. Not glamorous but doing so will help retard the natural tarnishing of the silver. Since silver is a soft metal it will also prevent scratching. Do not swim in a chlorinated pool or submerge in mineral bath wearing your silver (it will turn on you). Always apply makeup, hair spray, and perfume before you put on your silver.  As much as you want to, please do not sleep in your jewelry!  FYI – if you wear your jewelry, it prevents tarnishing – so rock it. Also please check out our Jewelry Techniques & Maintenance page for recommendations on alternative cleaning techniques and care. 

 

HOW DO I CLEAN MY JEWELRY? 

Cleaning sterling silver can usually be done with a polishing cloth. More intricate designs may require a different method.  Please ask us what we recommend Or check out Jewelry Techniques & Maintenance page for recommendations on alternative cleaning techniques and care.
