The Three-bar Cross appears with great frequency in Slavic religious symbolism. Tradition teaches that when the Apostle Andrew preached in southern Russia he placed a life-size three-bar cross at his side. While explaining the Last Judgment, he tilted the foot plate to signify that those on the right side of Christ will go up into heaven and those on the left will go down into hell.

CARING FOR YOUR STERLING SILVER JEWELRY PIECE

We have received the following information from our fine jewelry manufacturer regarding
sterling silver pieces and the proper care for them:

For our jewelry, we use the finest formula for sterling silver available on the market today.
While it does contain anti-tarnishing agents, all fine sterling silver will eventually tarnish.

We recommend that you do not wear it in the shower, hot tub, sauna, ocean, and swimming
pool. Exposure to high chlorine and/or bromine contents will only hasten the tarnishing process
as will high mineral contents in your home water source. Cosmetics, moisturizers, and lotions
will also accelerate tarnish.

What can you do to ensure that your sterling silver jewelry stays sparkly and shiny? In addition
to regular cleanings, store your jewelry in a cool, dry place. If you do not have a jewelry box,
there are anti-tarnish bags available on the market, or you can store jewelry in felt or velvet
bags.

Don’t forget regular cleanings to keep your sterling silver jewelry looking good! The best part?
You already have the ingredients right in your kitchen to make an effective cleaner – jewelry
care has never been easier!

**If your tarnished piece is set with a stone, we do not recommend this method. While hard
stones like diamonds, rubies, or sapphires would likely be safe, softer stones like turquoise,
garnets, or amethyst could be scratched.

What you’ll need:

• Aluminum foil
• A dishpan/bowl
• Baking soda
• Warm water

Instructions:

1. Place a double layer of aluminum foil to the bottom of a dishpan or bowl.
2. Add warm water (enough to cover the foil and completely submerge your jewelry).
3. Add 2-3 heaping tablespoons of baking soda to the water.
4. Place the tarnished item in the pan/bowl. Make sure that it is in contact with the
   aluminum foil.
5. Let soak for a few minutes and the tarnish will come off.
6. Rinse the item(s) well with warm water and buff with a soft polishing cloth.
