Try to protect all jewelry from sharp blows, harsh chemicals, sunlight, water, and extreme temperatures. Chlorine and related chemicals can severely discolor and damage jewelry. Put jewelry on after using cosmetics, hair spray or perfumes to avoid contact with substances and chemicals which may cause damage. Remove jewelry when working with your hands, such as performing household tasks, gardening and using abrasive particles. Carefully wipe jewelry with a soft chamois or flannel cloth after each wearing to remove oils and salts. Store jewelry separately so it will not scratch other jewelry. Storing beaded necklaces flat is highly recommended. Caring for Sterling Silver: Sterling silver tarnishes naturally and requires occasionally cleaning. Storing your silver jewelry in plastic bags with an interlocking seal when not in use slows the tarnishing process.

   Keep your jewelry looking its best with simple maintenance. The care you provide for your jewelry will be rewarding by providing years of pleasurable wear.
