"How should I take care of my Punky Jane Jewelry?"

Here are a few guidelines to keep your Punky Jane made with sterling (.925) or fine silver (.999) looking its best.

• Don’t wear your jewelry in water, or allow it to be exposed to chemicals...they will damage the finish and oxidation. Even perfumes, lotions and sprays can damage the finish. 
• Don't hang your jewelry in or near the bathroom, or any other damp area. This will dramatically speed oxidation.
• Don’t use dip-style cleaners...they will remove the oxidation you want to keep (blackening of the letters). It’s best to use a soft cloth made especially for jewelry polishing (like a Sunshine Polishing Cloth), and polish very gently. 
• After your jewelry is clean, you can store it in a zip closure bag if you won't be wearing it for awhile. If you bag a dirty piece, the oxidation will move very quickly.
• If your piece has a brushed finish, the finish will lighten a bit with normal wear and the polishing cloth will speed that up.
• If the oxidation in the letters gets a little lighter, it will darken again over time through the natural oxidation process. 
• Remember, the best way to keep your jewelry from tarnishing is to wear it! Please note that it’s normal for silver jewelry to show gentle wear. Silver is a soft metal.
