Care Instructions - Like all fine jewelry, CP SIGNATURE™ jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a ziploc bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never immerse in chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions, or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause damage to the gemstones. Never wear jewelry in a chlorinated pool or spa.

• Since 100% pure silver is extremely malleable and therefore not conducive for jewelry making, other alloys are added to it to make it more durable and less resistant to damage and scratching. .925 sterling silver jewelry is a combination of 92.5% silver and usually 7.5% copper, although the copper is sometimes replaced with another alloy or a combination of alloys. The hallmark of .925 sterling silver on a piece of jewelry ensures the highest quality of silver.
• Called the "king of precious stones" or the "queen of gemstones", ruby is the gemstone of passion, power, and love and is said to bring health, wealth, and wisdom. Although the gemstone occurs in various shades of red, Santa Rosa features a deep, purplish-red stone. It is believed to help treat physical wounds and blood disorders as well as emotional and spiritual wounds. Known as July's birthstone and the state stone of Wisconsin, the ruby is found in Burma, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Pakistan, India, Thailand, Madagascar, Zimbabwe, the United States (North Carolina), Afghanistan, Kenya, Tanzania, and Kampuchea.
• Garnet, the modern birthstone for January and Connecticut's state stone, represents love, revitalizes feelings, and controls anger, especially toward oneself. While preventing fears of insecurity, garnet builds self-esteem and generates balance and awareness. Garnet is found worldwide and occurs in its well-known, red color and also in its lesser-known blue and green varieties.
• Pink rhodonite promotes a sense of inner calm, self-worth, peace, happiness, joy, and laughter. Used in smoothing over relationship difficulties, pink rhodonite clears the mind of confusion and doubt, while helping to achieve one's greatest potential. It is also believed to strengthen the inner ear, allowing one to become more open to "hearing" the truth.
