for solid metals only: all pieces with brass + sterling silver components come with a small polishing cloth. polish the brass + silver components after each wear to maintain shine. do not wet the cloth.
for gold-plated + gold-filled pieces: avoid abrasives or polishing cloths as they will wear away the gold over time. wipe clean with a soft cloth after wear.
for pearls: pearls are delicate + will loose their luster if improperly handled. avoid using abrasives or polishing cloths. wipe clean with a soft cloth after wear.
