To ensure that you will receive years of pleasure from your jewelry, it is important to take the necessary steps to care for it properly. Use a polishing cloth to clean your jewelry. We highly recommend that you never use chemical cleaners or abrasive polish on pearls, gemstones, or plated jewelry. Remove your jewelry before bathing or swimming. Body lotion, perfume, hairspray, salt water and chemically treated water can ruin your jewelry permanently. It is recommended to store your jewelry separately in a jewelry box or pouch. To help avoid silver jewelry from tarnishing, you can store it in a sealed plastic bag with a piece of chalk.
