There are a few things to remember to keep your jewelry looking beautiful. Don’t subject your pieces to such things as household cleaners, bleaches, chlorine (swimming pools or hot tubs), hairsprays, lotions, the ocean or rough situations. These can be sporting activities, manual labor, weightlifting or anything that could cause damage. Don’t set it next to the sink when washing hands or doing dishes. You might forget it, or it may fall down the drain. When not in use, be sure to store your jewelry somewhere safe, and in the Mary van der Aa box it came in, to prevent damage, loss or theft.
