- Remove jewelry before bathing or swimming
- Remove jewelry before using cleaning products
- Remove jewelry when exercising or playing sports
- Clean jewelry with polish cloths rather than paper towels or tissue
- Clean jewelry with warm water – not hot water!
- Do not clean jewelry that is damaged
- Regularly inspect the condition of jewelry and address damage as soon as possible
