Commercial cleaners could be costly but it's better to be safe than sorry. ·When you are using a polishing cloth, ensure that your material is cotton. Other types of fabric that you may opt to use aside than the 100% cotton will injure your jewelry with scratches because they still are made up of abrasive materials. ·Wear your jewelry with pride but when you set them aside, make sure they're kept safe in their boxes or anywhere away from harmful chemicals and abrasive particles.

Extreme temperature and frequent exposure to sunlight could have damaging effects. Include sharp blows and pressure on the list as well. ·If you have a sterling silver and you need to retard tarnish, just wrap the jewelry with tissue and seal inside a zip lock bag. Remove fingerprints by soaking them in lukewarm water for at least 2 minutes and thoroughly rinse using clean water. Before setting them aside in sealed bags, dry them for sure. Necklaces with beautiful beads should also be laid flat when stored in order to avoid stretching. ·Simple cleaning materials such as water and mild soap will give positive results when used to clean your jewelry.
