How to Care for These Gifts
A sacred gift is more than an accessory—it's a keepsake meant to last for years.
- Stainless Steel and Silver: Stainless steel requires virtually no maintenance. Sterling silver may naturally darken over time if exposed to sulfur or chlorine. A soft dry cloth is all that's needed for cleaning.
- Yellow and White Gold: 18-karat gold jewelry is designed to last a lifetime. Store pieces in their original presentation box when not being worn to prevent scratches.
- Wood and Metal: Wooden rosaries should be kept away from excessive moisture to preserve both the beads and cord. Metal and enamel pieces only require occasional dusting with a soft cloth.
