This versatile piece features a lovely steely gray hue, beautifully paired with freshwater pearls and gray mother-of-pearl, creating a warm and elegant look. Handmade with care in the USA, it uses high-quality materials like 18-22k gold vermeil, which is sterling silver coated with 2.5 microns of 18k gold. Crafted by Dina Mackney Jewelry, each piece meets top standards of quality.
To keep your jewelry looking its best, remember to avoid exposure to bleach and ammonia, and remove it before swimming in chlorinated water. Applying your jewelry after dressing helps protect it from perfumes, cosmetics, hairspray, and other household chemicals. Treat organic stones like turquoise, lapis, and malachite gently—avoid polishes and abrasives that can cause porosity. Always follow the specific instructions when cleaning gemstone jewelry.
After wearing, gently wipe your sterling silver or gold vermeil jewelry with a 100% cotton cloth, then store it separately in a protective bag to prevent scratches and tarnish. Special silver polishing cloths and non-abrasive polishes are perfect for maintaining its shine. For softer stones, a polishing cloth works well. Using personal ultrasonic cleaners is usually safe for sterling silver, but be cautious with softer or porous stones, and note that some silver beneath may tarnish.
