Size Information [Click here to Shrink]
Bracelet Sizing
To determine the correct bracelet size for you, snugly measure your wrist with a flexible tape measure just below the wrist bone. Now add 1/2 inch to 1 inch for an approximate bracelet size. The average bracelet size is between 7 and 8 inches depending on the thickness of the beads.

If you do not see the length you need, please let us know. We can usually add or remove length of our products (depending on material availability).

To determine the correct necklace length measure around your neck to the hollow at the base of the throat. Every 2 inches of necklace length above this measurement is 1 inch of drape.

Care of Ungaro Designs Jewelry [Click here to Shrink]
Preventing Tarnish on Sterling Silver Jewelry
I recommend that the jewelry pieces that are purchased from Ungaro Designs be stored in their accompanying ziplock bag whenever you are not wearing them, to help prevent tarnish.
Polishing Sterling Silver Jewelry
Sterling silver jewelry will polish up by rubbing or buffing it with a soft cotton cloth or a Sunshine Cloth.
Cleaning tarnished Sterling Silver Jewelry
Sterling silver jewelry can be cleaned using items from your own kitchen:
  • Take an aluminum baking dish or a bowl covered with a piece of aluminum foil
  • Add 1 tbsp of salt and 1 tbsp of baking soda
  • Pour some hot (not boiling) water into the baking dish/bowl
  • Stir to dissolve the powders
  • Place your silver in the solution
  • The results may be immediate or may take a few minutes
Pearls
  • Natural body oils sometimes aid in maintaining the luster on the nacre of pearls.
  • Gently wipe off after wearing them with a soft cloth.
  • Avoid spraying perfume or hair spray directly on your pearls.
  • Clean them periodically by gently washing them in mild soap and a soft cloth.
  • Store pearls in a soft cloth bag.
  • Do not store in safe deposit box for long periods, as they need light.
