Treat your jewelry like a prized possession! Store your pieces in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. A fabric-lined jewelry box or pouch is ideal. This protects your jewelry from scratches, dust, and getting tangled together.

Water, harsh chemicals, and excessive heat can take a toll on your jewelry. Remove your pieces before showering, swimming, doing dishes, or applying lotions, perfumes, and hairspray. These substances can damage the materials and cause fading, discoloration, or weakening.
