Pearl in Clam Shell Necklace | Ocean Spirit Guide | Gold or Silver Plated

This is the keep-it-lasting guide — the small habits and smart storage that keep your pieces looking new. For deep-cleaning steps by metal and stone, that's the full cleaning guide.

The one daily habit

Last on, first off. Jewelry goes on after your lotion, perfume, and hairspray — and comes off before you shower, swim, sleep, or clean. That single habit prevents most wear before it starts.

---

How to store it (where most damage is actually prevented)

• Sterling silver: airtight — a zip bag or a box with an anti-tarnish strip. Air is what darkens it.
• Gold-plated & faceted glass: a soft pouch each, stored separately so harder pieces don't scratch the finish.
• Pearls: laid flat, never hung — the silk thread stretches over time.
• Necklaces: hung or laid flat so chains don't knot.
• The rule for everything: dry, and apart.

Traveling with jewelry

Give each piece its own pouch, thread delicate necklaces through a small bag or straw so they can't tangle, and keep studs in a hard case so nothing bends. A tangle-free arrival is worth the two extra minutes.

When to bring a piece in

Care includes knowing when something needs a little help: restring a bracelet that's gone stretchy, have a loose clasp checked before you lose the piece, and refresh heavily-worn gold plating over time. A well-kept piece is one you'll pass down.

---

Care at a glance

• Silver — wipe after wear, store airtight
• Gold-plated — soft cloth only, no scrubs
• Gemstones — keep porous stones (turquoise, opal, moonstone, pearl) dry
• Stainless steel — easiest of all: soap, water, dry
