Maintain Your Moonstone & 925 Sterling Silver - Joyous Crafts

Maintain Your Moonstone ♥ 

It is important to maintain your precious pieces properly. Moonstone is a soft stone, it may crack when exposed to high heat or harmed by exposure to hydrofluoric acid. Therefore, ultrasonic and steam cleaners should not be used on moonstone. Warm soapy water and gentle non-acid based jewelry cleaner are highly recommended for cleaning moonstones. Avoid doing strenuous activity while wearing your moonstone. Store your Moonstone in a fabric lining jewel case with compartments or dividers to avoid rubbing your jewelry against each other.

Maintain Your 925 Sterling Silver ♥ 

925 Sterling Silver means that the composition is 92.5% pure silver which has been alloyed with 7.5% copper. Pure silver is so soft that jewelry made from silver needs to be alloyed or blended with another type of metal. The mix with copper makes it more suitable and durable for making jewelry.

This process is also the reason why this beautiful metal can tarnish. Therefore, it is important to regularly clean and maintain sterling silver jewelry. Please follow these simple tips:

* Store jewelries individually in cases with lids or airtight bags to fight humidity and oxidation.
*Use a simple microfiber cloth or silver polishing cloth, with appropriate and gentle chemicals (normal toothpaste is a good option), instead of chemical liquid.
*Take your jewelries off when you are taking shower or washing your hands, swimming, exercising, cleaning, and before applying any kind of personal body products, perfume, lotion, makeup etc.
