How To Care for Your New Jewelry. To keep your new jewelry looking its best and ensure its longevity, here are some general care tips:
1. Keep it clean: Regularly clean your jewelry to remove dirt, oils, and residues that can dull its appearance. Use a gentle jewelry cleaner or warm soapy water and a soft brush or cloth to clean the piece. Rinse it thoroughly and pat dry with a soft cloth. Washing it while your in the shower works very well to keep it clean and shiny also.

If you go swimming or use self tanning lotion make sure to clean off the jewelry immediately after or discoloration can occur. Hair color may discolor sterling silver if it comes in contact with your jewelry.
3. Protect from scratches: Keep your jewelry away from rough surfaces and other jewelry pieces that may cause scratches.
4. Handle with care: When wearing your jewelry, handle it gently to avoid bending or breaking delicate parts. Avoid tugging or pulling forcefully on any chains. If you tug on the chain too roughly it may break.
5. Avoid extreme temperatures: Exposure to extreme heat or cold can damage certain gemstones or cause metal to expand or contract.
6. Be cautious during activities: Wrap your jewelry with tape, a bandage or cohesive wrap when engaging in activities that may subject it to damage, such as sports, gardening, or heavy lifting. It's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to protecting your precious pieces.
By following these care tips, you can help preserve the beauty and quality of your new jewelry for years to come.
