General Jewellery Care

Regardless of metal, these practices will help extend the life of your jewellery:

Store pieces in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and humidity. Remove jewellery before swimming, showering, sleeping, or exercising. Apply perfumes, lotions, and hair products before putting jewellery on. Avoid contact with household cleaners or chlorinated water
