Keeping your Semi Precious Stone Luminous

Semi precious stone jewelry is truly luminous - in bright shades and sparkling tones, they bring a sense of classic elegance to any look! Unfortunately, that sparkle doesn’t last forever, especially if it’s a daily worn piece of jewelry. However, there are some easy steps to ensure that your jewelry looks beautiful for years to come!

Cleaning Your Semi Precious Stones                                                          
Beautifully shining stones require occasional cleaning.  To clean your stones of dust or dirt, make a small mixture of dish soap and lukewarm water.  Slightly dampen a soft cloth and scrub gently at the stone to remove any dust or dirt. Take care to avoid getting any water on the wiring of a necklace or bracelet, as this can be damaging. Once cleaned, buff with a clean, dry soft cloth. Voila! Sparkling, once again!

Maintaining Your Semi Precious Stones
To ensure that your semi precious stone jewelry stays gorgeous and requires as little cleaning as possible, don’t wear it during strenuous activities. If you’ll be running around or working up a sweat, consider opting for your other accessories. Additionally, when not wearing your semi precious stone jewelry, store them in separate compartments of a jewelry box so that they do not tangle or scratch each other. You should also avoid exposing them to chemicals or liquids such as hair spray, perfumes, or cosmetics.

With these simple steps, you’ll be on your way to a lifetime of truly stunning jewelry! 

Pearl-fect Jewelry for Summer



When it comes to summer accessories, there is simply no end to the options! From bright and colorful necklaces to fun hair accessories, bags, and shoes, there are so many styles to be introduced into your wardrobe. But, perhaps the most classic option encompasses stunning pearls. We really can’t think of a better compliment to summer than gorgeous pearl jewelry! Whether in the form of beautiful drop earrings or a stunning tiered necklace, pearls immediately bring about an essence of the ocean – relaxing, soothing, free, and beautiful. 

A long pearl necklace is the perfect complement to summer evening attire. From a date night out, to dining on a fantastic cruise, to spending a relaxing week in a tropical oasis, pearls can complete the look of any ensemble! The best thing about pearls is that they are entirely neutral and can be paired with just about any color or shade. A little black dress adorned with pearls evokes a classic and timeless style, while a pearl necklace atop a bright coral blouse is both elegant and fun.

Pearl Earrings

Whether you’re wandering the local farmer’s market, spending the afternoon window shopping in your favorite city, or simply looking for a way to spruce up your workday wear, pearl earrings are the perfect accessory. Long and dangling, drop pearls illuminate your face, making you all the more gorgeous!
