Jewelry is made to be worn so here are a few pointers to keep your jewelry in the best possible shape for the long haul.

Take your jewelry off before showering, swimming, sweating it out at the gym, and before applying lotions and perfumes.

Sterling Silver can tarnish naturally but is very easy to restore by buffing with a polishing cloth and storing in an air tight container or bag when not worn. Definitely avoid chlorine! 

14K Gold is a poplar choice as it's a good balance of cost and durability. We suggest avoiding prolonged exposure to chlorine or other chemicals which can cause harm to your gold jewelry. To clean gold jewelry at home, use a mixture of warm water and detergent-free soap with a soft-bristled brush. You can then get an extra shine by using a specialized polishing cloth. When not worn, store your gold pieces in soft cloth bags to help prevent scratches. You can always go to a reputable jeweler for an extra ultra-sonic cleaning.
