-Adorn your jewelry last and remove first.
Prior to adorning, check that the clasp (and safety catch if there is one or two) is not loose.
When removing, safely store your jewelry separately in an airtight box.
-Remove all jewelry prior to bedtime or physical activity.
Sleeping or exercising with jewelry can be a risk to the integrity of the piece-- dents can result from moving around, and elements can get snagged on fabrics.
-Steer clear of perfume, lotions, hair sprays and other chemicals.
Some substances may affect the stone’s clarity and sheen. Different chemicals such as chlorine and bleach can ruin the chemical composition of the metal.
-Remove jewelry before washing your hands, bathing, showering, or swimming.
Great practice for keeping the sheen on your jewel.
-Protect jewelry from humidity, heat, and excessive sunlight.
Sunlight can damage certain stones
-Give your jewelry an occasional wipe for cleaning with a lint-free 100% cotton cloth.
You may brush gently, using a soft toothbrush, lukewarm water and dish soap.
DO NOT use a brush on a turquoise stone or pearls- you may use your fingers instead.
-Before and after cleaning, check that the stone hasn't moved by shaking the piece of jewelry close to your ear.
If you hear a slight noise, this means that the stones are no longer perfectly secured. If you are in the slightest doubt of a piece’s integrity, it is advisable not to wear your jewelry until you have had it checked.
