Put your jewelry on after perfume, lotion and makeup, and take it off before sleeping, showering, swimming or working out.

Water, chlorine, sea water, sweat, perfume and cleaning products can affect plating and shine. If a piece gets wet, dry it right away with a soft cloth.

• After each wear – wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
• Stones (zircon, moissanite) – a soft brush with a little lukewarm water and mild soap, then dry completely right away.
• Plated pieces – dry wipe only, no soaking and no abrasives.

Keep each piece separately in its box or pouch, somewhere dry. Close chains before storing so they don't tangle or scratch other pieces.

Attach and remove charms gently without pulling the chain. Don't sleep in bracelets and necklaces to avoid kinks and breaks.

It's usually just a layer of oils, lotion or perfume. A gentle clean like the one above brings the sparkle back.
