Here are some additional tips to help you keep your beach glass jewelry looking its ABSOLUTE BEST: Our jewelry can be cleaned using a mild detergent, ammonia and a soft toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly with clean water, towel or blow dry. For silver, use a commercially bought sterling silver "dip" to remove tarnish. It won't harm the beach glass! Be sure to follow directions on product label for best results. Be aware that the jewelry is made from glass, dropping or hitting it on hard surfaces may induce breakage. Always apply lotions, hairspray, and perfumes to putting your jewelry on. This will greatly reduce the risk of any chemical reaction with the sterling silver or gold that is used in the jewelry. Remove jewelry at bedtime. This eliminates the risk of kinking chains, bending earwires and catching bracelets and anklets. VOILA! You are now ready to wear your stunning beach glass jewelry with great pride. You're gonna love it!
