Cowrie Shell Necklace | Ocean Talisman | Prosperity + Feminine Power
Cowrie Shell Necklace | Ocean Talisman | Prosperity + Feminine Power

Caring for Crystals
This is the keep-it-lasting guide — the small habits and smart storage that keep your pieces looking new. For deep-cleaning steps by metal and stone, that's the full cleaning guide.
The one daily habit
Last on, first off. Jewelry goes on after your lotion, perfume, and hairspray — and comes off before you shower, swim, sleep, or clean. That single habit prevents most wear before it starts.
How to store it (where most damage is actually prevented)
- Sterling silver: airtight — a zip bag or a box with an anti-tarnish strip. Air is what darkens it.
- Gold-plated & faceted glass: a soft pouch each, stored separately so harder pieces don't scratch the finish.
- Pearls: laid flat, never hung — the silk thread stretches over time.
- Necklaces: hung or laid flat so chains don't knot.
- The rule for everything: dry, and apart.
Traveling with jewelry
Give each piece its own pouch, thread delicate necklaces through a small bag or straw so they can't tangle, and keep studs in a hard case so nothing bends. A tangle-free arrival is worth the two extra minutes.
When to bring a piece in
Care includes knowing when something needs a little help: restring a bracelet that's gone stretchy, have a loose clasp checked before you lose the piece, and refresh heavily-worn gold plating over time. A well-kept piece is one you'll pass down.
Care at a glance
- Silver — wipe after wear, store airtight
- Gold-plated — soft cloth only, no scrubs
- Gemstones — keep porous stones (turquoise, opal, moonstone, pearl) dry
- Stainless steel — easiest of all: soap, water, dry
