Importance of jewelry care

Friday, July 16th, 2010

So you bought your jewelry a month ago and you wear it every day, but you notice that some of the shine and luster has gone away. Have you cleaned your jewelry? What people may not realize is that no matter if you get a chain for $50 or $500, it will eventually dull a bit, but it takes a lot of time and wearing of the item to wear it out. Whether it’s gold over lay or solid gold, the same thing happens to anything you wear on a regular basis. Town Square Jewelry carries many types of Connoisseur Jewelry Cleaners that can clean gold, rhodium or silver chains or charms. All you do is drop the item in the cleaner from 10-15 seconds, take it out, rinse it with water, dry it with a cloth and your item will shine again as if you just bought it. Sometimes we forget that what we wear needs to be taken care of too, and nobody likes to take off their beautiful jewelry, but in this case, you have to take it off and then take care of it. If you wear the jewelry on a daily basis, you should clean it every week. The more attention you give to your jewelry, the longer it will keep its shine and luster. Keep your eyes open for new Sterling Silver Charms to be put up next week!

Sterling Silver Charms Now Available

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

Right now on TownSqJewelry.com, we have .925 sterling silver charms available for you. At the moment, what we have available are charms related to military service, which we thought was fitting because of 4th of July and of course on September 6th is Labor Day, another great day where we honor and celebrate the good ol’ USA. Just because the 4th of July has passed and Labor Day is still 2 months away doesn’t mean you have to wait that long to purchase one of our Military Charms for you or for someone else. Any of these charms is a constant reminder of yours or someone else’s dedication to the Armed Forces and to whatever Country it is that you support. So what is .925 sterling silver? Is sterling silver “real” silver? Yes, it’s real, but like our 14KT Gold Charms, it’s not 100% solid. Our Sterling Silver Charms are 92.5% silver and 7.5% brass. The brass gives the charm more strength and it is not soft like a 100% silver charm would be. You will notice that the silver charms go great with most any chain that you currently have or that you want to purchase from us. Silver and Rhodium go well together, and if you like a big difference between your chain and charm, try combining silver with gold. We know you will enjoy these new Sterling Silver Charms, and more will be added, so stay with us!
