To preserve the lasting brilliance of your 925 sterling silver and gold-plated jewelry, keep it away from direct contact with water, perfumes, lotions, and harsh chemicals. Always remove your pieces before exercising, swimming, or sleeping. For light maintenance, gently polish your jewelry with a soft, dry lint-free cloth to restore its natural shine, and store each piece separately in an airtight box or soft pouch to prevent oxidation and scratching.
