Wearing Your Jewelry All the Time

Don't wear your jewelry while sleeping, washing dishes, painting, working with your hands, wearing latex gloves. Use your best judgement on this, but if in doubt, take your jewelry off. Keep reading to learn about the importance of where you store your jewelry.

Showering or Swimming in Your Jewelry

Not only shouldn't you wear your jewelry all the time, you should most definitely never wear your jewelry when swimming or showering. Water is a natural abrasive.

Cleaning Your Jewelry in an Ultrasonic Machine

Ultrasonic machines are great because they really thoroughly clean your jewelry. However, they are not suitable for all jewelry! You should avoid putting pearls, cameos, emeralds, opals, coral, and other soft stones in an ultrasonic machine.

Submerging Your Jewelry in Cleaner for Too Long

It's important not to submerge your ring in the solution too long. Prolonged exposure in a tarnish remover can actually make silver jewelry tarnish almost to a black color. Prolonged exposure with gold can discolor the gold as well as wear the gold down over time.

Taking Rings off by Pressing on the Stones

It is so important that when you take your rings on and off, you pull from the sides of the shank. So many people, especially when the ring is too tight, have the tendency to remove the ring by pressing with one finger on top of the stone and the other on the bottom of the ring. Over time this will loosen your stone and make it susceptible to falling out.

Keeping Your Jewelry Out in the Open

In an ideal world, having fine jewelry sitting on your kitchen counter in a jewelry dish shouldn't be a big deal. However, that storing spot that you decided to always put your jewelry should be in an inconspicuous and safe location. Unfortunately if you get robbed by a very skilled individual, there is little you can do to protect your investment, so it is always important to have jewelry insurance to help prevent against theft.
