How to Care for Your Sacred Pieces

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid soaking jade in water for extended periods.

Avoid harsh chemicals, perfumes, and ultrasonic cleaners — they can damage the stone's natural finish.

Jade improves with regular touch. The natural oils from your skin enhance its luster and deepen its color over time — daily prayer is the best care.

Store in the velvet pouch provided. Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight which can affect color over many years.

Polish regularly with a silver polishing cloth to maintain its shine. A gentle buff after each wear prevents tarnish buildup.

Store in the anti-tarnish bag provided when not wearing. Keep separate from other jewelry to prevent scratching.

Remove silver pieces before swimming, bathing, or using household chemicals. Chlorine and sulfur accelerate tarnishing.

Clean with a soft, dry cloth after each wear. Avoid abrasive cloths or chemical cleaners that can strip the gold layer.

Remove before washing hands, swimming, or exercising. Water and sweat can gradually wear the plating over time.

Store separately in a soft pouch. Gold plating is a surface treatment — with gentle care, it will maintain its beauty for years.

Occasionally apply a thin coat of olive oil or mineral oil to maintain the wood's natural luster and prevent drying.

Keep away from prolonged moisture and extreme temperature changes. Olive wood is naturally resilient but not waterproof.

Store in a breathable cloth bag — not plastic, which can trap moisture. Olive wood develops a beautiful patina with age.

Catholic tradition teaches that rosaries should never be placed on the floor. Treat your rosary as a sacramental, not merely as jewelry.

Store in a blessed rosary pouch or case. The velvet pouch included with every Sacred Craft rosary is designed for this purpose.

When not praying, hang your rosary on a wall hook, bedpost, or place it in a dedicated rosary box on your prayer table.

Handle with reverence. A rosary that is well-cared for becomes a family heirloom — passed from generation to generation.
