Jewelry Care

Caring for Your Jewelry

Jewelry is wonderful but easily damaged. Try to protect any jewelry from scratches, sharp blows, harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures and sunlight.


• Store jewelry separately so it doesn't scratch other jewelry.
  
• When doing household tasks such as gardening and cleaning, be certain to re move rings.
  
• Put your jewelry on after washing and applying any makeup/hair spray.
  
• Take off jewelry before swimming in a swimming pool. The chlorine can cause damage to various gemstones and gold. Gemstones may become loose in their settings (and possibly fall out).
  
• Before doing high impact sports take off your jewelry as you may scratch the metal or chip the gemstones.
  
• Avoid storing your jewelry next to a heating vent, window sill or on a car dashboard.
  
• Store jewelry away from sunlight as the sun may fade the gemstones.
  
• Always store bead necklaces (such as lapis, pearls, etc) flat as silk stretches over time.
