Material: 925 Sterling Silver; Stone type: Green Agate

To preserve the natural depth of the Agate and the brilliant luster of the Sterling Silver, please follow these essential care guidelines: Chemical Defense: Always apply perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays before putting on your jewelry. Chemicals found in beauty products can accelerate silver tarnishing and may seep into the porous structure of the Agate, potentially dulling its color. Moisture Safety: Remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, or exercising. Chlorine and salt water are especially corrosive to sterling silver, while prolonged exposure to moisture can affect the stone’s polish and the integrity of the silver settings. Cleaning Techniques: For Silver: Use a specialized silver polishing cloth to remove oxidation and restore its original shine. Avoid using the cloth directly on the stone. For Agate: Wipe the stone with a soft, slightly damp cloth if necessary, followed by a dry microfiber cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and steam, as Agate can be sensitive to sudden temperature shifts. Proper Storage: Sterling silver naturally oxidizes when exposed to air. Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place, preferably in an airtight pouch or a soft-lined box. Keep the piece separate from other items to prevent the silver and stones from being scratched by harder jewelry. Avoid Harsh Detergents: Never use bleach or abrasive household cleaners on your jewelry, as they can permanently damage the silver finish and the natural surface of the Agate.
