Remember to bring your favorite jewerly pieces in for a professional checkup and cleaning-before you start to clean them at home.  That way, we can be on the lookout for loose stones, worn mountings and other signs of wear.  To keep your jewels sparkly between periodic professional cleanings, your tools are simple.  You need a jar of jewerly cleaner or some diluted dish wash detergent ( a squirt in a half or quarter cup of warm water will do). Soak your jewelry briefly and brush clean with a soft-bristle toothbrush.  Wipe dry with lint-free towel. for pearls, simply wipe clean with a soft towel and avoid all detergents.  For any jewelry, when  in doubt, it’s best to bring it in or call if you have any questions.  For more inforamtion about jewelry cleaning call 888-777-8066.

My mother treaded my brother with a great deal of love and attention. I remember he would come home from work he would take off his clothes and throw them in the laundry hamper without taking anything out of his pockets. My poor mother always would be so careful just to make sure that there were nothing in his pockets before she did the laundry, but of course there was always something, like pocket changes, business cards, crumbled cash ( not very much) but enough to make my mom go crazy. One day my mom got mad at him and said, ” You know my son, I can do this for you for so long, but if you get married I don’t think your wife would appreciate what I’m doing for you.” My brother hugged and kissed her.

Sunday afternoon my mom would do the laundry, she noticed again when she picked up my brothers pants and felt the weight of the usual odds and ends he had the habit of collecting. My mom was in the mood of forgiving him that day , after all it was her birthday and she new that my brother would take care out for a nice dinner. As she was emptying his pockets she noticed a long box  it was wrapped with a beautiful gold color paper and attached with a note and it said, “Mom, you are the best and I love you forever, Happy Birthday! from Jack. She opened the box there it was a beautiful 14k white gold diamond  bracelets. As she walked over to give my brother a thank you kiss, she said, “Honey, I love you too, and I think I can even put up with emptying your kids pants pockets for as long as I live.”

Have you ever left the house with an incomplete outfit because you couldn’t find the earrings you wanted to wear?  or the neck chain you had in mind was tangled - and you didn’t have the time to deal with it?  make the time to organize. Spread your jewelry out on a clear surface, like your kitchen table.  Check to make certain that all clasps are secure and theat no stones are loose.  Consider a classic jewelry box. Or plastic storage units or organizers.  Take care to store items separately, with no stones scratching other stones or metal.  Once you’ve put everything in order, you’ll be able to truly enjoy your fine jewelry!
