Karen Jabo Jewelry is made using sterling silver, freshwater pearls, glass, natural stones, and other high quality materials. My designs use a variety or finishes to create the desired look. To keep all silver jewelry from tarnishing, store pieces in airtight baggies to avoid oxidization. For specific finishes:
Matte finish: use a cream polish such as “Wrights”. Rub polish on the piece with a sponge or cloth and then rinse with water. This product will not harm pearls or stones.
High polish: use cream polish, a polishing cloth, or other types of polish. Do not use any kind of dipping product if your piece contains pearls or other stones.
Satin finish: satin finish is actually very fine scratches on the metal. Use “Scotch Bright” or steel wool to rub the piece clean. Many satin-finished pieces are also antiqued, so do not dip these in liquid cleaner as it will remove the antiquing.
