As a metalsmith artist, I fabricate each piece of my collection from start to finish using traditional metalsmithing techniques. All components are made with sterling silver or 14 karat gold-filled* metal which I then cut, solder, form, hammer, and polish. Every clasp, link, and stone, has been handled by me, the artist, with much care. After I give a piece its final polish, I often add natural stones or freshwater pearls to complete the designs. Because each piece is handcrafted, please note that subtle differences may occur, thus adding to each piece's character and charm. 

Both sterling silver and 14 karat gold-filled metals are nickel free, hypoallergenic, and can be worn on a daily basis, even if you have sensitive skin. 

*Gold-filled metal means that there is a thick layer of gold fused to the surface of the underlying metal. Gold-filled metal should not be confused with gold plate. The gold on the surface of gold-filled metal is quite thick and chemical bonded. It will not wear off, flake, or turn your skin green. You can wear gold-filled jewelry on a daily basis with fear of discoloration or skin irritation.

- Sterling silver jewelry does tarnish. I would suggest keeping your jewelry in a jewelry box or ziplock bag when not wearing it. This will slow down the oxidation process immensely.

- The more you wear your jewelry, the less it tarnishes! Just be sure your jewelry is the last thing you put on, after your makeup, lotions, hairspray, etc.

- To keep your jewelry shiny longer, make sure to keep it clean. If you wear it while sweating, clean the jewelry with soap and water and allow it to dry before storing the jewelry.

- If your jewelry is tarnished, it can be shined easily. Simply buff it with a polishing cloth to bring the luster back. Or you can use silver dip cleaners. Just be careful not to get it on stones or pearls. You can use a q-tip in tricky spots.

- Purchase a Cameron Kruse Designs Polishing Cloth or Dip Cleaner

- Do not wear your jewelry in a chemically treated pool or hot tub. The chlorine and other chemicals may discolor or etch your metal.
