Jewelry can last for a lifetime if it is properly cared for. Here are a few tips for caring for your jewelry:
- Store your jewelry in a clean, dry place. When you are not wearing your jewelry, it is best to store it in a jewelry box or pouch. This will help to protect it from dust and scratches.
- Clean your jewelry regularly. The frequency with which you need to clean your jewelry will depend on the type of metal and gemstones it is made from. However, a good rule of thumb is to clean your jewelry once every few weeks.
- Avoid exposing your jewelry to harsh chemicals. Harsh chemicals, such as chlorine and bleach, can damage your jewelry. It is best to remove your jewelry before swimming, showering, or doing housework.
- Have your jewelry professionally cleaned and inspected regularly. Professional cleaning will help to remove dirt and grime that you cannot remove at home. It will also allow a jeweler to inspect your jewelry for any damage.
