Native American Indian jewelry pieces are unique works of art and special care should be taken to preserve their beauty. Your jewelry should never be worn when washing dishes, in the shower, etc. Bezel-set semi-precious stones are done by hand and therefore not 'sealed' as a piece of manufactured jewelry may be. This may allow liquid to get inside and under the setting.

When Native American jewelry is introduced to any type of liquid there is a risk of corrosion, damage to the stone and permanent damage to the setting. Once liquid has been introduced any semi-precious stones may be damaged and eventually fall out. Once inside a setting the only way moisture can be removed is to remove and reset the stones.

Battery or electric-powered "sonic" jewelry cleaners as well as liquid 'dip' type cleaners are popular and convenient, however they should NEVER be used to clean Native American Indian jewelry.

The safest way to clean and care for your Native American Indian jewelry is a dry jewelry polishing cloth. Buff jewelry using the polishing cloth for beautiful results. No liquid cleaners are required.

Caring for your jewelry in this manner—keeping it away from all liquids—will preserve its beauty and life. The Native American jewelry you own today, with proper care, can be passed on as heirlooms of tomorrow.
