here are a few tips to prolong the lifespan of your jewelry:
handle your piece of choice with care and avoid activities which expose your jewelry for scratches or potential damage.
i recommend to take off your jewelry when sleeping, showering, cleaning, sunbathing or in swimming pools or spa.
put on your jewelry last when getting ready to spare the jewelry from chemicals in your beauty products as makeup, perfume, hairspray, moisturizer etc.
polish your silver pieces often in order to maintain shine and color. use a microfiber/polishing cloth and spirit or silver cleaning agent, and gently polish the silver.
