Avoid using harmful substances like bleach, ammonia, acetone, turpentine and the like to clean them. Harsh chemicals will dull your stones and dissolve the enamel on your jewelry.
Make sure you organize your jewelry properly. Boxes, holders, compartments, and hooks are all valuable tools for storing jewelry safely. Jewelry should not be lumped together in a pile. Fragile jewelry could easily be damaged by doing this, not to mention the nuisance of having to untangle necklace chains that could get caught together.
Knowing what type of jewel you are buying when you purchase jewelry is very important. The types of gems available are synthetic, imitation and natural. While natural and synthetic stones are the real deal, imitation stones are made to look like a real gemstone, but could be anything from colored glass to plastic. The only difference between natural and imitation gemstones is where they are made. Natural occur naturally, while synthetic stones are grown in labs.
If you buy jewelry from a jewelry store, ask if they offer insurance. In the unfortunate, but possible event that your jewelry gets damaged, the jeweler will be able to replace or fix it for you. There are even some jewelers that will cover the replacement if the piece has been lost or stolen.
Keep your jewelry pieces looking beautiful by protecting them from tarnish. Try to keep your jewelry away from water. A lot of metals will rust, tarnish or dull when they come in contact with water. To give jewelry an added layer of protection apply a thin layer of clear nail lacquer.
