Store your costume jewelry in a closed place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Use soft pouches or separate compartments to prevent scratches.
Use a soft dry cloth for regular cleaning. For deeper cleaning, a mild soapy solution and a soft brush can be used, but ensure the item is thoroughly dried afterwards.
Do not wear your costume jewelry while bathing, swimming, or working with aggressive chemicals. Even simple soap or hand lotion can damage the item over time.
Avoid wearing jewelry during heavy work or sports to prevent accidental impacts and scratches.
Periodically check the jewelry for loose parts and fittings to prevent loss of elements.
