DAY-TO-DAY:  Even though we constantly strive for durability, we highly recommend that you do not shower or bathe in your fine jewelry.  We also caution you against sleeping in it.  It is suggested that when you are not wearing your jewelry that you seal the pieces in the plastic bags which come with your gift box.  It will help protect the stones, as well as greatly reduce the rate of tarnishing.

If the piece is strung with Accuflex/Beadalon (mini/multi wires fused together in a plastic tube), extra care should be taken not to cinch or pinch the piece.  The "fold" will be next to impossible to reverse and your piece will not lay flat.  Re-stringing is the only solution. When placing wire-strung jewelry in bag for storage, be sure to unhook the clasp & wrap up each end in a circle, following the natural direction of the "worn" piece.

For cleaning accumulated goo and gunk, it is recommended that you use a small amount of mild liquid soap (dishwashing detergent is good) and a baby fingernail brush (the really soft kind) or an old soft toothbrush.  Just gently scrub under warm water.  Allow to air dry prior to wearing.

MONTHLY:  Once, if not twice a month (dependent upon amount of wear), your "Gem Buddies" like to be energetically cleansed and charged.  The best times during the month to do this is at the New Moon and again at the Full Moon.  There are several different suggested methods, any of which will work.  Some of these include:  Placing the stones on top of the soil of a healthy plant, either outside or inside...24 hours is best; holding under running water, the purer the better, and consciously "washing" away negative energy...a few minutes should be enough.  Some folks even place the pieces in their aquariums overnight!  You  may even be led to a different process for your unique piece(s)! We always "go with the flow" and it seems to work out!

IF AN UH-OH SHOULD OCCUR:  Please try to reclaim as many beads as possible.  Supplies may or may not be on hand!  You will need to mail the beads to KATZ CREATIONS.  Please contact us for shipping information.  Insure at your own discretion.

OUR GUARANTEE:  If within the first 30 days following receipt your item proves to be defective due to sub-quality workmanship, we will gladly re-string and ship the piece to you at our expense.

Last but not least, LOVE your gemstone jewelry! Like everything else in this Life, it "beams" when it's appreciated!

These measures will help assure you of many years of "Beauty For Your Life"!
