Fashion jewelry keeps its shine longest with a little care. A few simple habits make a big difference.
Put it on last, take it off first
Add your jewelry after perfume, lotion and hairspray have dried, and remove it before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping.
Keep it dry
Water, sweat and chemicals can dull the plating over time. If a piece gets wet, pat it dry with a soft cloth straight away.
Clean gently
Wipe each piece with a soft, dry cloth after wearing. Avoid jewelry cleaners, toothpaste and abrasive cloths, which can scratch the finish.
Store pieces separately
Keep each item in its own pouch or a lined box, away from humidity and direct sunlight, so pieces don't scratch or tangle.
