Always:

• 1. Apply lotion, cosmetics, hairspray and perfume before dressing in jewelry.

• 2. When undressing, wipe each piece with a clean soft cloth to remove oils and perspiration.

• 3. Compare your hand circumference to the chart below. Purchase a bangle with diameter that is next size up from your actual hand measurement.

Never:

• 1. Never wear jewelry when doing physical work such as housekeeping, gardening or exercise.

• 2. Never expose jewelry to household cleaning products.

• 3. Never expose jewelry to chlorine swimming pools or hot tubs.

Tips for Cleaning:

• 1. Follow the instructions appearing on the label or box.

• 2. Clean in a secure location, not the rim of a sink where a piece may slip down the drain.

• 3. Use only a soft brush, never sharp or hard objects, to remove dirt or particles.

• 4. Clean your jewelry often; lotions, soaps and skin oils alter the optical properties of diamonds and gemstones, causing them to look dull.

• 5. Seriously soiled jewelry should be cleaned professionally.- Clean diamond jewelry with a soft brush dipped in warm water and mild detergent; rinse under running water.
