To maintain its splendor, store your jewelry in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. These elements can cause your precious pieces to tarnish, discolor, or sustain damage. 

Consider using a fabric-lined jewelry box with separate compartments or individual pouches to prevent scratches and tangles.

Over time, everyday substances like dirt, oils, and unseen residue can dull the magnificent shine of your jewelry. 

Regular cleaning is paramount to preserve its sparkle. For most jewelry, a gentle cleaner specifically designed for the metal and gemstones is ideal. 

Alternatively, a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water can be used for delicate items.

It's advisable to remove jewelry when swimming in chlorinated water, cleaning with household chemicals, or engaging in other activities that could expose it to damaging substances. 

Wear your pieces only during dry activities and dry places—that means taking them off when gardening, cooking, playing sports, and cleaning.

Small tip: Keep a small cloth jewelry bag in your gym or swim bag to have a safe place to store your jewelry before workouts.

Jewelry is meant to be showcased, yet it's vital to wear it wisely. Exposure to harsh chemicals can significantly harm your pieces. 

Additionally, cosmetics, lotions, perfumes, and hairsprays contain components that can tarnish or corrode jewelry over time. A good practice is to put your jewelry on last when getting ready and take it off first when returning home.

We all have favorite pieces that feel like extensions of ourselves, but wearing jewelry to bed can lead to accidental damage. 

Movements during sleep can cause chains to tangle or snap, and prongs to catch on fabrics, potentially bending or breaking them. 

Make it a habit to remove your jewelry before bed to avoid unnecessary strain and wear.
