Recommendations for wearing jewelry

Jewelry is not designed to just lie "locked up". You should not stop wearing jewelry just to extend its service life.

To do this, it is enough to follow simple rules.

How to extend the service life of jewelry?

1. In jewelry with stones, you should touch the stones themselves as little as possible. There is always a small amount of oil on the skin of your fingers, but it is enough to leave an imprint on the stones and inserts and collect dust and all kinds of dirt.
2. It is advisable to take off jewelry at home. It is much easier to repair or even replace the lock of the same chain than to send it completely for remelting. This rule will save you from an unplanned visit to a jewelry workshop.
3. When working with household chemicals, contact with food, it is also advisable to remove jewelry, or try not to expose jewelry to such contact.

4. A bathhouse, a pool, playing sports - this is exactly what jewelry "does not like". In fact, jewelry is quite vulnerable to high temperatures, chlorine, salt and sweat secretions.
5. Cosmetics and perfumes can also damage jewelry. You might not immediately think that some destructive process has begun in the jewelry, but over time, cosmetics can make the jewelry unrepairable - it will have to be melted down.
6. It is advisable to take off jewelry before going to bed. In your sleep, you can involuntarily deform almost any jewelry - and you'll be lucky if it can be fixed. Although, if you follow the rule of removing jewelry upon arrival home, you can skip this point.
7. Jewelry should be stored in special boxes upholstered in soft material. In addition, the box should be closed, since sunlight, humidity and other factors can spoil the jewelry. For example, silver is very demanding of this. During storage, it can turn black and oxidize in a few days. Also, when storing, it is necessary to avoid contact between jewelry - they can scratch each other, leave various abrasions, etc. Stones, in turn, can leave deep grooves on other jewelry.
