Costume jewelry or the real thing, your bling is precious to you. Here’s how to properly care for your accessories:

::After use, wipe off each piece of jewelry with a damp cotton cloth. Let it dry before storing.
::Store jewelries in cases that have soft, lined interiors to keep them from scratching. Store each accessory in a separate compartment to prevent them from getting tangled and scratched.
::Don’t have a jewelry case? Place them in soft fabric pouches instead.
::Store your jewelry boxes away from high heat and excessive moisture, as they can damage some stones.
::Once a year have your jewelry professionally cleaned.
::Keep your jewelry away from perfume, sweet, and make-up, since these can harm stones, especially pearls.
