Everyday Jewelry Care Tips 💖

✦ Avoid Perfume & Sprays: Apply perfume before wearing your jewelry to prevent direct contact with chemicals. It’s best to avoid wearing jewelry immediately after spraying. 🌸
✦ Remove Before Showering: Protect your jewelry from water and soap exposure to maintain its shine. Take off rings and other pieces before showering or washing your hands. 🚿
✦ Beware of Lotions & Creams: Lotions may contain acids that can react with metals. Avoid moisturizing areas that come into contact with your jewelry. 🧴
✦ Store Your Jewelry Properly: When not in use, store your jewelry in a cool, dry place using its original box or pouch for protection. 📦
✦ Avoid Swimming with Jewelry: Chlorine and saltwater can tarnish or degrade metals. Always remove jewelry before swimming or visiting the beach. 🌊
✦ Remove Before Bedtime: Take off your jewelry before sleep to prevent accidental damage and ensure proper storage. 🌙
✦ Protect from Scratches & Chemicals: Avoid wearing your jewelry during sports, gardening, or cleaning to protect it from harsh chemicals and abrasives. 🌱
