MATERIALS & CARE

EUTECTIC handcrafted jewelry is individually made from the highest quality materials. Unless otherwise stated, all gemstones are genuine stone. Wire and chain are sterling silver and/or 14kt gold filled (what’s gold filled?). All EUTECTIC jewelry is handmade one piece at a time (or in pairs). Pieces bear marks made by human hands and tools. The beauty of the stones used in EUTECTIC is enhanced by the slight variations in color and shape due to their natural origin and hand cutting. Stones may also feature natural inclusions. For more information about a particular stone, please email info@theeutecticpoint.com.

Any handmade jewelry should be treated gently. Avoid tugging at, sleeping in or piling up your items as this can cause breakage, tangling or misshaping of components.

Sterling silver tarnishes, so it is best to keep your jewelry in a small reclosable bag (to keep out air). Simple earring may be stored flat together, but complex or chandelier style pieces should be stored on their original card to avoid tangling. Necklaces and bracelets should be wrapped GENTLY and LOOSELY around a card for storage. If you can’t bear to see your jewelry in bags, the best method of storage is hanging.

To remove dirt and debris, jewelry should be cleaned with a soft, lint free cloth. Tarnish should be removed with a polish-filled jewelry cloth (like a Sunshine cloth). DO NOT use commercial tarnish remover as it can affect the natural stones. Washing is also not recommended because of the different porosity of the stones.

Pearls and opals require special care. Pearls should not get wet because they are pourous and can absorb water. Pearls absorb the oils from your skin to maintain their luster, so they should be worn often. Opals are somewhat brittle and contain a large amount of water. They should also be worn often, but for a different reason: the oils from your skin help protect them from water loss.
