Its so important to make sure that your jewelry is lasting its full life. These tips will help to make sure that they are:
Fashion Jewelry #1 rule- Last thing you should put on and first thing you should take off. #2 Do not rub lotion on, spray perfume on, or spray hair chemicals on. #3 Keep dry- Do not wash, swim, or clean up in. #4 When not wearing store in dry place separate from other jewelry (place in a zip lock bag)
Sterling Silver- While sterling silver jewelry is more durable than fashion jewelry, with normal wear and tear the jewelry will eventually tarnish or lose color. Follow all rules stated for fashion jewelry but also remember to clean regularly with a lint free cloth that is designed specifically for sterling silver jewelry.
Stainless Steel- There are no rules. (Whoop Whoop) Stainless Steel jewelry will not tarnish or lose color.You can clean, wash swim, and do anything else while wearing this jewelry and not harm it in anyway.
