1) Always remove your jewelry before bathing and grooming.
2) Bring your jewelry to a qualified jeweler if you notice a loose stone setting, a moving stone, or any damage to your jewelry.
3) Do not wear your jewelry while doing rough work.
4) Hairspray, gel, body lotion, moisturizer, perfume, make-up, and soap are chemicals that can leave a residue on jewelry, creating a dull film that is very difficult to clean and remove.Thus there contact with the jewelry must be avoided
