How do I care for my Turquoise jewelry? TOP
Turquoise is known to suffer damage, such as pits or holes, after being treated with commercial cleaning solutions. A better method for cleaning turquoise is to make a mix of half ammonia and half water, then add a squirt of dishwashing liquid. An old toothbrush will help you scrub the jewelry with the mixture. After cleaning and drying, rub all silver sections with a soft cloth and mineral oil. You can store the turquoise jewelry in a zipper-type plastic bag to prevent increased oxidation.
Always store bracelets & necklaces laying flat, not in a bunch.

How do I know if a collar fits my dog? TOP
Adjust the buckle collar snug enough so that the dog cannot get a paw, limb or jaw stuck in it... another dog can't get entangled in the other's collar while playing...and the collar is less likely to catch on something. Such situations can lead to injury, trauma, suffocation or strangulation. There should be room enough only for you to slip two fingers between the collar and the neck.
