1. Cleaning:

Gently clean your jewelry using a soft, lint-free cloth to remove everyday dust and debris.
For more thorough cleaning, use a mild solution of warm water and a few drops of dish soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage gemstones or metals.
Be particularly cautious with porous gemstones; avoid prolonged exposure to liquids.

2. Storage:

Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
To prevent scratches, store each piece separately. Consider using jewelry pouches or boxes for added protection.
Keep your jewelry away from extreme temperatures, as sudden changes can cause damage.

3. Avoiding Chemicals:

Remove your jewelry before engaging in activities that involve chemicals, such as swimming in chlorinated pools, applying cosmetics, or using cleaning products.
Perfumes, hairsprays, and lotions can also affect the appearance of your jewelry. Apply these products before putting on your jewelry.

4. Gemstone Care:

Certain gemstones require special care. For example, opals and pearls are delicate and should be stored away from other jewelry to prevent scratches.
Periodically check gemstone settings to ensure stones are secure.

5. Metal Care:

Different metals have varying care requirements. Sterling silver may tarnish over time, but regular polishing can restore its luster.
Gold and platinum generally require less maintenance, but periodic cleaning is still beneficial.

6. Professional Inspection:

Consider having your jewelry professionally inspected and cleaned annually.
Professionals can assess the integrity of settings, prongs, and clasps, ensuring your jewelry remains secure.

7. Personalized Engraving:

Take care when cleaning jewelry with personalized engravings. Gentle cleaning methods, such as a soft brush or cloth, are recommended to preserve the engraving.
