How to care for your jewelry

• Take jewelry off before swimming in chlorine or salt water.
• Remove it for workouts and anything that makes you sweat heavily.
• Put it on after lotion, perfume and hairspray.
• Store each piece in its own pouch so stones and chains don’t scratch.
• Wipe with a soft cloth after wearing; for more, use warm water and mild soap.

Know your metals

Gold filled bonds a thick layer of real gold to a base metal and holds up to daily wear. Gold plated is a thin layer, best kept dry. Sterling silver is 92.5% silver and can darken over time; a polishing cloth brings it back.
