Jewelry Care
Though jewelry from Valerie Tyler Designs is of the highest quality, please remember to still take proper care of it. Most items are made of sterling silver, copper of gold-fill.
It is natural for sterling silver to tarnish over time. You can prevent some tarnishing by keeping your sterling jewelry in an airtight bag. If items do become tarnished you may clean them with a soft cotton or flannel cloth, soap and water, or a non-scratch micro abrasive cleaner or silver polish. Some designs may have been oxidized to give them an antique look. Keep in mind cleaning these may remove the darker tones.
For gemstones and pearls DO NOT use chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners, simply use a damp soft cloth to wipe them off.
The best thing you can do to take care of your jewelry is to put it on after lotions or makeup, take it off first when you are done wearing it, and to put it away securely in a dry place. Keep your jewelry out of contact with salt, chlorine, household cleaners or any harsh chemicals, as they may discolor your jewelry.
