Jewelry Care Tips
1. Keep Away From Water & Chemicals
Remove jewelry before:
- Showering
- Swimming
- Using perfumes, lotions, or hair products
Moisture and chemicals can cause fading or tarnish over time.
2. Store Properly
Keep jewelry in a:
- Soft pouch
- Separate box compartment
- Anti-tarnish bag (for silver)
Storing pieces separately prevents scratches.
3. Clean Regularly
Use a soft cloth to gently wipe your jewelry after wearing it.
For deeper cleaning:
- Use mild soap + warm water
- Dry thoroughly
Avoid harsh cleaners on gold-plated items.
4. Avoid Sleeping With Jewelry
Rings, chains, and bracelets can bend, scratch, or break while sleeping.
5. Handle With Care
Put your jewelry on last and take it off first — this protects it from makeup, sprays, and pulling.
