How to store and take care of your jewellery made with Baltic amber?

• If it is set in silver/gold then make sure you store it in a plastic anti-stat cellophane bag, you can use the bag you received for the jewellery purchased from us.
• If it is amber jewellery made without any silver/gold then you can keep it just in the original gift pouch, or get one from the internet (soft pouches made from linen, cotton or velvet will be good).
• Keep amber away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, hair spray, perfumes, and detergents.
• Take off your jewellery when exercising, sleeping, bathing, showering, swimming, cooking or doing anything else which can cause you to produce sweat ;-)
• To remove dust simply wipe your jewellery using a soft cloth dampened with clean water.
• Keep amber away from any strong solutions.
• Do not use any jewellery cleaning solutions as chemicals can damage your amber texture
• We highly recommend using a silver cleaning cloth to keep your jewellery shiny (you can buy your silver cleaning cloth at our store)
• Avoid any rough surfaces or metals as amber can easily get scratched
• The best way to clean your amber beads is a dip of fresh warm water and soft cloth without any detergents/solutions/chemicals. (Tip: Use a drop of olive oil to make your beads shinier)
• Amber is rather a soft gemstone, be careful as it can scratch easily.
