MOLLY Pendant Care: Clean & Maintain Your Necklace

Quick answer

Clean your MOLLY pendant necklace gently with a soft, damp cloth and store it in a dry, padded box to prevent damage to the gemstone beads and sterling silver details.

Step-by-step cleaning and maintenance

1. Detach the pendant: Unclasp the MOLLY pendant from the necklace to clean each part separately. This prevents the charm from bumping against the beads. Store the pendant in a separate small pouch while you work on the beads.
2. Wipe the beads with a soft, dry cloth: Use a lint-free microfiber cloth to gently wipe each bead, removing oils and dust. For the cord, lightly dab with a barely damp cloth and let it air dry fully before reattaching. Never soak the cord – moisture can weaken the cotton fibers over time.
3. Clean the sterling silver hardware sparingly: Polish the clasp and pendant bail with a jewelry polishing cloth designed for silver. Avoid dipping into liquid silver cleaners, which can seep into crevices. Over-polishing removes the protective tarnish layer; once or twice a year is enough.
4. Store in a dry, padded box: Place the necklace flat in a jewelry box with separate compartments or wrap it in a soft cloth. Keep away from direct sunlight and humidity. Avoid hanging the necklace – the cord may stretch or the beads can scratch each other.
