This keeps the jewelry from coming in contact with any moisture that may cause discoloration.

Use a polishing cloth to remove any discoloration. With a few wipes the metal will look brand new.

Do NOT use chemical cleaners. This is the most important tip! Chemical cleaners will strip the metal of its lacquer and cause irreversible damage. It might seem like a quick fix, but it’s not!

Put on any perfume or hairspray BEFORE putting on your jewelry. The chemicals in these products can potentially strip the lacquer from your jewelry.

Do NOT wear your jewelry to the beach or in the shower. It is best to keep your jewelry from coming in contact with any moisture. To keep it looking new remember to take off your jewelry before going to the beach, swimming, or taking a shower.
