• Remove jewellery when showering or bathing. This is particularly important when on the beach, in the sea and in chlorinated water.

• Avoid wearing jewellery when doing physical work such as housekeeping, gardening or exercise.

• Never expose jewellery to household cleaning products, especially bleach and highly reactive solutions.

• Avoid spraying perfume, hairspray on the gemstones or pearls as it jeopardizes the integrity of the material.

• Remove jewellery when applying make-up, creams to avoid the residue getting into the texture or gemstone setting. Any residue dulls the shine of your jewellery.

• Keep away from extreme temperatures and humidity.
