Jewelry Maintenance

If you want your jewelry to last and maintain a fresh look avoid contact with water and damp rooms like bathrooms. Jewelry may have discoloration if it comes into direct contact with perfume, hairspray and other chemicals found in hand cream. Therefore, one should not spray perfume directly on the jewelry. It is common to find stains on sterling silver 925, as the metal surface is oxidized as a natural process. This can easily be removed with a special polishing cloth for silver which can be bought in regular jewelry stores.

The jewelry that is handmade or has crystals, stones and other small details may be sensitive to harsh bumps like falling on a hard surface. To prevent the crystals and rhinestones to fall off put on a thin layer of clear nail polish a few times a year on the surface where the stones are.

Take off your jewelry before you go to sleep, otherwise it can easily be damaged during the night. Try to have it as a habit to take off your jewelry and store it in a jewelry box or on a jewelry tree, so that it avoids contact with other jewelry.
