9 Carat Gold Cameo Earrings with Post Fittings
For twice-yearly care of shell cameos, use the following routine:
-
Wipe the cameo gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and surface residue.
-
Apply a small amount of mineral oil, baby oil, or pure olive oil to the cameo using your finger or a soft cloth, ensuring even coverage.
-
Leave the oiled cameo overnight to allow the oil to soak in and help prevent dryness and cracking.
-
The next day, carefully wipe away any excess oil with a clean, soft cloth.
-
Store the piece in a dry, lined jewellery box away from sunlight and heat, separately from other jewellery.
Avoid soaking, harsh cleaners, and ultrasonic cleaning, as these can damage the cameo’s organic shell material.
