Keeping your jewelry clean not only enhances its shine but also prolongs its lifespan. Start by using a soft cloth to wipe down your pieces after each wear, removing any oils or residues that may accumulate. For deeper cleaning, a gentle soap and warm water solution is often sufficient for most metals and gemstones. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they can damage delicate materials. Always dry your jewelry thoroughly before storing it, and consider using a specialized jewelry cleaner for more intricate pieces.
