Tips on Taking Care of Your Fine Jewelry


* Clean your jewelry before putting it back in your jewelry box
* Put on your jewelry (especially pearl) ONLY AFTER you are done with your make up and perfume
* Keep each jewelry item in a separate box to avoid the slightest possible damage
* Check your jewelry for loose parts from time to time, and fix them as soon as possible
* Do not wear jewelry while taking a shower, working out, swimming or cooking; this is particularly important for pearl, which is a porous material capable of trapping moisture and other elements, causing degradation of the surface luster
* A clean container with warm water and a little mild detergent, a soft brush are all you need to clean most of your jewelry
* For cleaning of pearl, a porous material containing calcium carbide, water and protein, soak jewelry in mineral water and rub clean it with fingers, without using any detergent. Air dry pearl on soft dry cloth before putting it back in the box
