Caring for your jewelry
Put your jewelry on last, after perfume and lotion.
Take it off before washing your hands, swimming or exercising.
Wipe the metal with a soft, dry cloth after wear.
Skip jewelry dips and harsh chemicals.
Store each piece in its pouch, away from sunlight and humidity. Keep diamond pieces apart from others so the diamonds cannot scratch them.
Sterling silver naturally darkens over time. A gentle rub with a silver polishing cloth brings back the shine; keep it off the gold-plated areas.
Leather cords are a natural material and will soften and deepen in color slightly with wear. Keep them dry. Smooth silk fringe gently with your fingers and lay the piece flat.
