SPECIFICATIONS-
The chain used for this piece is Sterling Silver. Sterling Silver is 92.5% Silver and 7.5 % other metals (usually copper). Sterling silver is usually used in jewelry as it aesthetically resembles fine silver but it is harder and therefore sturdier for everyday wear. If you have metal allergies, please be aware that you may turn green.
All of the design elements used in this necklace are Sterling plated. This plating process involves bonding an extremely thin layer of sterling silver to a base metal; most commonly used are copper and brass. Once the metal is plated with either Sterling Silver, Gold, or Platinum, it is less likely for the wearer to experience metal allergies. However, it does happen-especially when the plated coating wears off over time (as it will) or if the person wearing the jewelry has very severe metal allergies. Please be aware of this (as you may turn green)!
Tourmalines are gems with an incomparable variety of colors. The reason, according to an old Egyptian legend, is that the tourmaline, on its long journey up from the center of the Earth, passed over a rainbow. In doing so, it assumed all the colors of the rainbow. And that is why it is still referred to as the 'gemstone of the rainbow' today. Tourmaline displays a greater range of colors than any other known gemstone and thus holds a special place in the hearts of jewelry designers and gemstone enthusiasts everywhere. Sri Lanka is considered the place were tourmaline was first found several centuries ago. While gem quality tourmaline is still found there, the biggest suppliers of tourmaline today are Brazil, Tanzania, Nigeria, Kenya, Madagascar and Afghanistan.
The Antique Pocket watch is made up of your typical white base metals. If you have metal allergies, please be aware that you may turn green.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS-
Because your jewelry is made from various metals, I strongly suggest keeping it dry- that means no swimming with it! However, if you simply cannot resist bringing your new amazing jewelry to the beach, please make sure to dry it off thoroughly with a soft towel or cloth before putting it away to prevent rust from forming.
If over time you find the White Gold getting grimy, which is perfectly normal, gently wipe it down wither a gold polishing cloth (available at most General Purpose stores in the jewelry section or online). They are incredibly cheap and last a very long time.
To keep your gemstones looking their best, I highly recommend getting you piece professionally cleaned by your local jeweler. However, you may occasionally wipe it down with a damp non-abrasive cloth. If extra cleansing is required, a tiny amount of plain white bar soap may be used. Just be sure to wipe off all of the soap residue once finished, and let the jewelry air dry thoroughly! Please note, that by deciding to clean your own jewelry you are doing so at your own risk (as there is always the possibility to damaging the gemstones/metals).
