Jewelry Care - How to care for Pearls?

Long known as the "Queen of Gems," pearls possess a history and allure far beyond what today's wearer may recognize. Throughout much of recorded history, a natural pearl necklace comprised of matched spheres was a treasure of almost incomparable value, in fact the most expensive jewelry in the world. Now we see pearls almost as accessories, relatively inexpensive decorations to accompany more costly gemstones.

Pearls are fragile and softer than other gemstones. That is why it is important that you care for your pearls so that they remain bright and beautiful for a long time. Below are some suggestions:

1. After wearing your pearls, make a habit of wiping the pearls with a soft damp cloth. This is remove any build-up o the pearls.
   
2. From time to time, wash the pearls with mild soap. Once finished, gently rinse and place on soft towel or cloth to dry. Do not hang pearls to dry as this may stretch the silk thread.
3. Store the pearls in a soft material box, pouch or bag. Do not store pearls in plastic bags as they will dry out and crack over time.
4. Store pearls separately from your other jewelry. Pearls are easily be scratched or damaged because they are softer than other gems or stones.
   
5. Before doing housework, take off your pearls. The chemicals from the detergent can damage the pearls.
   
6. Wear your pearls after putting on makeup, perfume and hairspray. The chemicals from these products can dull the pearl's luster.

Jewelry Care - Clean your new jewelry

Owning a jewelry includes caring for it. When you purchase a jewelry, clean it before wearing. Especially if it is a body jewelry. There are all kinds of ways to clean your jewelry:

1. Use anti-bacterial soap and rinse off well with warm or hot water.
2. Some jewelry stores provide pre-injected swaps (Steret) when you buy jewelry from them. You can clean with those. However, some believed that they are not as effective.
   
3. If you wear contact lense, you can use the saline solution to clean the jewelry. Soak it in saline for a couple of hours and wash with soap for extra cleanliness.
4. To remove lightdirt and fingerprints, use a small amount of mild liquid detergent to a 1/2 cup of warm water and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Dry it completely before storing. Then polish it up with a soft cotton cloth.

These are just general ways to clean your jewelry. For more detail information on cleaning jewelry with pearls and crystals, tune in!

Your Own MedicAlert Jewelry

Do you want to wear a MedicAlert that is different from anyone else? Do you want to be able to wear your MedicAlert everywhere and everytime? Do you want to show off how special your MedicAlert is? Well this is your chance!

I wear a MedicAlert and I used to take them off whenever I go to a party or a function. I did that because it did not go along with my clothings. It was just so difficult to match. At one point I just left it aside and ended up losing it.

I had to reorder and this time Donna Mae custom-made me a bracelet for my MedicAlert. I love it! I now wear my MedicAlert all the time. I am planning to make a couple more to go with all my clothings.

Good news to the rest of you, Eleworth is going to offer a collection of bracelets specially for MedicAlerts. If you cannot wait, email me and I might be able to help out.

AMETHYST! That's what I am talking about.

Are you born in February? If yes, Amethyst is your birthstone. Amethyst is a semi-precious stone that typically is violet or purple in color. This stone though a birthstone for February born Aquarian can also benefit Sagittarius as well as the Piscean as they are the people always going through highs and low with there emotions. This gemstone ranges from the light purple to dark and is said to bring luck and intelligence to the wearer.

Since the color of amethyst is associated with royalty, it has been the natural choice for most monarchs from ancient times. Egyptian rulers had a marked preference for the stone. Some exquisite amethyst stones adorn the British Crown Jewels. Amethyst is found in many different locations around the world and has become a very popular stone. Amethyst is said to bring tolerance and a calmness to its wearer. It also is supposed to evade drunkenness according to the Greek mythology.
