Native American Jewelry Care

I frequently receive email inquiries about cleaning of Silver Turquoise Jewelry. I think it might be helpful to mention my personal tips from time to time. There is nothing sadder than the stories I often hear of people accidently damaging their treasured Native American Jewelry while trying to clean it.
So here goes:
To restore the sparkle and shine to sterling silver jewelry, it is recommended to use a sterling silver polishing cloth which restores the natural brightness and will maintain your Native American jewelry for generations to come. Each $50 purchase at http://www.doubledeedeals.com/  includes a free silver polishing cloth as our thank-you gift to you.
Turquoise jewelry and gemstone jewelry: When cleaning Native American jewelry and turquoise jewelry or other gemstones, do not use anything that has abrasives or bleach which can damage silver and many stones. Toothpaste, bleach, and baking soda should be avoided. A non-abrasive cleaner can be used for spraying, soaking and washing jewelry. Use something mild and bear in mind many stones can be porous. A new toothbrush with small soft bristles can also be used for scrubbing jewelry. Extra care should be taken when cleaning turquoise jewelry or gemstone jewelry with more delicate stones such as Amber, Coral, Malachite, Mother-of-pearl and Opals. These instructions are also permanently posted on the website, just visit http://www.doubledeedeals.com/jewelry_cleaning.php
