Protect all jewellery from sharp blows, harsh chemicals, sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Chlorine and related chemicals can severely discolor and damage jewellery as well as loosen stones and settings.
Put jewellery on after using cosmetics, hair spray or perfumes to avoid contact with substances and chemicals which may cause damage.
Carefully wipe jewellery with a soft chamois or flannel cloth after each wearing to remove oils and salts. This is especially important for pearls.
Store jewellery separately, so it will not scratch other jewellery. Freshwater pearls are best stored in a special chamois pouch because of their softness. Never store pearls in plastic bags!
Storing beaded necklaces flat is highly recommended to reduce stretching.
