Please keep in mind that detergents and lotions can slowly erode the finish of all types of jewellery, including fashion jewellery. Keep your items away from chlorine bleach and all household cleaners. These may cause damage to the item and stones. Jewellery should always be removed before swimming and washing dishes. Each item should be protected in its own compartment in a jewellery case or stored in a plastic or soft cloth bag to protect it from coming in contact with other items that could cause scratches. Clean fashion jewellery with a soft cotton (nub free) cloth or jewellery cleaning cloth and gently rub off any excess dirt or makeup.
