  1. Makeup first, then accessories

Lotions, hairspray and some cosmetics have chemicals  that can harm or tarnish your precious jewelry. To keep your customised piece looking its best, keep it out of harm’s way by putting it on after your do your makeup and hair.

 

  1. If you’re cleaning, take it off

Lotions, hairspray, and certain cosmetics have chemicals in it that can cause damage to jewelry, such as tarnishing. By putting on jewelry after putting on makeup, you limit your jewelry's exposure to the chemicals.

 

  1. Jewelry and pools don’t mix

Everyone loves a cool dip in the swimming pool on a hot summer day. But pools and jacuzzis are full of chlorine, which can discolor your jewelry if exposed too long. So play it safe: When you’re stripping down into your bathing suit, take your jewelry off, too.

 

  1. Rub a dub dub, no jewelry in the tub

Your soaps and shampoos may get you smelling fresh and squeaky clean, but they could do a number on your personalized jewelry if they also have chemicals in this. Too much sudsing in the shower while wearing your personalized necklace, bracelet or rings can cause a film to form over the precious metal, dulling the sheen and diminishing its gorgeous shine.

 

  1. Be smart about safekeeping

Properly storing your jewelry will do wonders for keeping it looking new. Keep your customised jewelry in a box where it won’t get tangled up with other items or dinged up from too much movement. A jewelry box with a soft felt lining is a great idea, but you can even line a simple shoebox with fabric to keep your items nestled and safe. Anti-tarnish strips are also a great investment to keep out oxidants than can tarnish and dull your pieces.
