Jewelry is worn by millions of people every day, but few recognize how they can preserve their treasures by using some simple advanced planning and thought. Here are some basic guidelines to consider when wearing jewelry:

Remove Jewelry During Tasks - When performing manual tasks, remove your jewelry to prevent physical damage or exposure to chemicals or cleaning fluids. Some tasks that should be avoided when wearing jewelry include kitchen work, gardening, cleaning the house and other common tasks.

Put Jewelry On After Applying Makeup - Cosmetics, hairspray, perfumes and lotion can contain chemicals that can often damage jewelry. Putting jewelry on after applying these materials will limit exposure to jewelry and any potential damage.

Don't Wear Jewelry in Swimming Pools and Spas - Chlorinated water can react with the metals found in jewelry causing colour changes and even structural damage. As a result it's a good idea to remove jewelry before entering the pool or spa.

All measurements are manual so there could be slight variations. The product colour may sometimes slightly vary due to photographic lighting sources or your monitor settings.
