Carved Shell Jewelry Care/Wear Tips: Avoid soaking, saturating, or immersing any liquids onto the necklace cord as the braided strands will expand and possibly loosen parts of the whipped line lashings. To bring back the shine on your carving simply buff it with a dry soft cloth or wipe with a soft cloth moistened with lukewarm water only. Do not use any sort of ultrasonic cleaners or ammonia as shells are porous and therefore might absorb chemicals, even soap, which can build up inside the stone, causing discoloration. Take off when you are cooking or cleaning. Avoid bumping on hard surfaces as shells are delicate. As with most jewelry, keep free from perspiration, cosmetics, lotion, dust and dirt and avoid chemical cleaners at all costs. It is Not Recommended to Use Harsh Cleaners, Detergents, Soaps, Shampoos, Jewelry Cloths or Jewelry Liquids, Chemicals, Chlorine, Body or Tanning Lotions, Ultrasonic Cleaners, Tarnish Creams, Showering, Swimming in Pools or Hot Tubs or the Ocean With Any Shell Jewelry.
