Troubleshooting

Clasp is difficult to fasten

Ensure the ends of the clasp are properly aligned before attempting to connect them. If stiffness persists, it may require gentle flexing or professional adjustment.

Pearls appear dull or lose their luster

Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth (water only), then immediately dry with a separate soft, dry cloth. Avoid chemical cleaners. Store properly to maintain luster.

Crystals have fallen off

Contact a professional jeweler for repair. Due to the intricate nature of the setting, attempting a DIY repair may cause further damage.

Silver-tone finish appears tarnished

Use a silver-specific polishing cloth *very gently* on the metal parts only, avoiding the pearls and crystals. Consult a jeweler for professional polishing if needed.
