Properly Thoroughly clean Your Jewelry

Washing Your Jewelry
Thoroughly clean your jewelry and colored gems with warm water, a soft brush, and use only a mild soap (no detergents) if at all. A water pick or toothpick might be used to thoroughly clean the hard to reach locations, although a soft, lint-free cloth works well for drying and polishing.
Jewelry Care and Washing
Nevertheless, there are numerous points you can do on your personal to care for and guard your jewelry. Possibly the simplest, and yet most often overlooked, way to care for you jewelry is ensuring it is properly stored at the end of each day. In addition, some pieces possess sharper corners or design elements than others. For these reasons, one should avoid the temptation to simply toss one’s jewelry together in a drawer or box. Piling one’s jewelry together will most certainly result in scratches and even fractured gemstones. We recommend the following rules of thumb:

Storing Your Jewelry
• Jewelry ought to be stored separately to avoid scratches and damage from other jewelry. It is greatest to store your jewelry in a jewelry box or in individual cases/pouches. Make sure your jewelry box is equipped with padded slots, posts and compartments that provide the capability to store each piece securely.
• Store necklaces, chains and bracelets flat or on so as to avoid kinks and knots.
• Store jewelry away from sunlight as light and heat might have adverse effects on certain gemstones, causing them to fade or even crack (see the chart below for more details).
• Never throw your jewelry in your handbag or parcel.
• Never leave jewelry on the edge of a sink – they can very easily slip down the drain.
• Do not sleep in your jewelry.
Protect your pieces from scratches and impact damage by using padding. Jewelry travel totes are suggested.
• Keep silver away from sulfurous materials to avoid tarnish. Store in an airtight zipper bag to prevent air from coming in contact with your silver.
