How to Care for Your Jewelry
Congratulations! You have just made a beautiful jewelry purchase. Of course you want to keep your jewelry looking nice so it can be worn for years to come. Here is a list of DO’s and DONT’s that will ensure your jewelry a long and beautiful life:
DO’s
1) DO store any anklets, necklaces and bracelets flat.
2) DO wipe your jewelry after wearing, with a soft, clean, damp cloth. This will augment the luster of the jewelry.
3) DO store all jewelry in a dry, clean, dust free container. Also, the storage container should have a soft inside lining. (A velvet lined jewelry box is a good idea)
4) DO put on jewelry AFTER applying cosmetics, hair products, lotions, perfumes, or oils.
5) DO safeguard your jewelry from extreme sunlight, extreme temperatures, and from very harsh chemicals.
6) DO remove your bracelet(s) before washing your hands, if possible.
7) DO store jewelry pieces separately. (If stacking, use soft cloths to separate your jewelry pieces. Or, store each piece individually using small plastic bags.)
8) DO try to minimize exposure to the sun.
DONT’s
1) DON’T use jewelry cleaner on ANY of your beaded and/or silver jewelry. (Cleaner is intended for gold jewelry)
2) DON’T store jewelry pieces together, as they will scratch each other.
3) DON’T wear your beaded or silver jewelry while doing indoor/outdoor chores.
4) DON’T wear any type of jewelry while showering, swimming, or otherwise just getting wet. (This will minimize the damage that the harsh chemical chlorine can do to your jewelry. Also salt water is damaging as well)
5) DON’T wear your jewelry when engaged in any activity that could potentially damage your jewelry. (i.e. sports)
