When working with your hands or doing things that involve chemicals or abrasives, you should always take off your jewellery. Remove your jewellery before doing any of the following: • Swim in water that’s been treated with chlorine • Doing housework • Working on the yard • Playing sports, especially ones with physical contact 2.

2. makeup, hair products, and perfume can damage your jewellery. Think of jewellery as the icing on the cake for your outfit. 3. Don’t put lotion on while wearing jewellery Hand and body lotion probably won’t hurt most fine jewellery, but it can ruin the finish of costume jewellery. Also, if lotion products build-up, you might have to clean your valuables more often. After taking off your jewellery at night, you should rub lotion on your hands or body. 4. Put each item away separately No matter how carefully you wear your jewellery, it can also get damaged while in storage. This usually happens when pieces hit each other or get tangled up. Pearls, wood, plastic, precious metals, and some gemstones all break easily. The best way to fix this problem is to store your things, so they don’t touch each other. Consider some of these options for storing jewellery: • Jewelry trees to hang necklaces and earrings • Put old or expensive things into separate cloth pouches • Jewelry armoires for storing all your pieces • Individual jewellery boxes for your most expensive pieces • Silver jewellery bags that won’t tarnish

Using travel jewellery cases or jewellery rolls can keep your jewellery safe. These will keep your special pieces safe and from getting tangled up. 6. Take a look at your pieces often The pieces can easily get dirty or break as you wear and store your jewelry. Look at your earrings or necklace carefully before you put them on. Then you can find the parts that need fixing or cleaning. 8. Put together a kit for caring for jewellery Having all your tools and materials for cleaning and fixing your jewellery in one place makes it easier to clean and fix without having to look for the right tools and materials. With a small plastic storage container, you can easily make a kit for cleaning and caring for jewellery.
