As a general rule, put on your jewelry last before leaving home, and remove them first thing when you return home.
Wear your pieces often to prevent them from tarnishing!
Take off your jewelry before showering, bathing, exercising heavily or swimming. Exposure to water, chlorine, sweat and saltwater can cause jewelry to tarnish faster.
Avoid wearing your jewelry when doing household chores. Cleaning, cooking and other household chores can expose your jewelry to chemicals and rough surfaces that can scratch or damage it. If your jewelry comes into contact with chemicals, promptly rinse with water.
Avoid spraying perfume, applying creams, hand sanitizer or any other liquids on your jewelry. Cosmetics, hairsprays and lotions can leave a film that dulls the appearance of your jewelry. Remove your jewelry before applying any liquids and wait for them to dry before wearing it again.
Do not expose your jewelry to extreme temperatures and humidity. These conditions can cause jewelry to expand or contract, resulting in potential damage. Avoid leaving your jewelry in direct sunlight or hot cars, and avoid wearing them in saunas or hot tubs.
