About Delighted Designs

General Information

Each piece of Delighted Designs jewelry is hand-crafted with the finest Swarovski crystals, Swarovski pearls and semi-precious stones. Each piece is to be enjoyed each and every day. In efforts to ensure each piece of Delighted Designs hand-crafted jewelry lasts for years to come, a recommended care regiment is listed below for your reference.

Swarovski Crystal and Pearl Care

Each piece can be polished with a soft lint-free cloth. If your jewelry is very dirty, gently clean your jewelry using warm water, a mild dish detergent and a soft bristled brush. Rinse thoroughly with clean water prior to drying with a soft lint-free cloth. Please note: Do not wash the Swarovski pearls. These should be buffed with a soft dry cloth.

It is recommended to put your Swarovski jewelry on after applying perfume, hand cream or hair spray. Never wear your jewelry in the bath, in bed, doing dishes or when exercising. Store your jewelry in the soft pouch or air-tight plastic bag to prevent scratching. Chains and necklaces will retain their shine and glitter best if they are hung up when not being worn. Do not store your Swarovski jewelry in areas of excessive heat or sun exposure.

Sterling Silver Care

To clean your sterling silver jewelry, use a clean 100% cotton or a special sterling silver cleaning cloth or very soft bristle brush, like a babies tooth brush or a horsehair silver brush.

Storing sterling silver jewelry in the open air and humidity for extended periods of time can cause it to tarnish quickly. To keep tarnish to a minimum it is advised that you store your jewelry pieces when not wearing them. Storing your sterling silver pieces in an air-tight protective bag made of tarnish proof cloth or a plastic zip lock bag can help reduce tarnish and keep your jewelry looking it's best. Avoid storing your sterling silver with certain objects, like pennies and rubber, these too cause tarnish and damage.
