Costume Jewelry Care:
We get asked this all the time for our John Wind jewelry line. Be sure to use a Jewelry Care Cloth, as opposed to a silver polishing cloth. Silver polishing cloths can be too strong and abrasive, and rub the silver or gold plating off. Be sure not to use the cleaning cloth on any beads or stones set into the piece. If the beading or stones get dirty, clean the piece with water and dish detergent gently to remove any dirt.

| Catherine Canino Pearl necklace |
Pearls are very soft and require a bit of extra care to maintain their shine and luster. If you wear your pearls often, it's recommended that you wipe them down with a soft cloth after each wearing, to remove any oils and sweat from your skin which can damage the pearl. Always remove your pearls before applying hairspray, perfume, and other cosmetics. All of these are harmful to pearls, so be sure not to apply any perfume to your neck if you plan to wear pearls.
If they do get dirty or start to look dingy, only use jewelry cleaners that are specifically made for use on pearls. Never use any dish detergents or cleaners with ammonia (like windex) to clean them, and be sure to never use any kind of abrasive cloth or toothbrush, which can scratch them.

| Nora Kogan Enamel Bracelet |
Enamel Jewelry Care:
Enamel jewelry is made by fusing thin layers of glass to precious metals like gold or silver. While incredibly beautiful, enamel can also be very fragile. Never throw your enamel jewelry in with your other jewelry, it can get chipped. Be sure to never drop it either, this is how a lot of enamel gets chipped. When cleaning, use a soft cloth and warm water with regular dish soap. If you have hard water, use bottled water to rinse, to avoid leaving hard water spots.
