Jewelry Care
Sterling silver tarnishes when exposed chlorine, sulfur, humidity, perspiration, cosmetics, household bleach and other strong chemicals. To prevent tarnish as much as possible, we recommend that you store your fine jewelry in a safe, dry place when engaging in the following activities:
• Household and outdoor chores
• Showering, bathing or swimming in pools, hot tubs, hot springs and the ocean
• Using lotion, hair products, fragrances and other cosmetics
• Exercising at the gym or during contact sports
• Avoid storing your jewelry in the bathroom as constant
moisture can tarnish jewelry.
• Preparing meals
When you store your jewelry, each piece should be placed separately so that materials won’t rub against each other. This can prevent scratches and damaged gems. Store jewelry pieces in a box or pouch. Jewelry boxes that feature individually padded slots rings and posts for hanging necklaces are also ideal.
Occasionally wipe your jewelry down with a jewelry polishing cloth to keep the pieces shiny.
