To keep your jewelry looking its best—especially gold or silver plated pieces—avoid exposure to water, perfumes, lotions, and harsh chemicals, as these can cause fading or tarnishing over time. It’s best to put your jewelry on last when getting ready and take it off before showering, swimming, or exercising. After wearing, gently wipe each piece with a soft, dry cloth to remove oils and residue. Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place, ideally in a soft pouch or separate compartment to prevent scratching and oxidation. With a little care, your favorite pieces will stay beautiful and last much longer.
