• Jewelry becomes discolored by perfume, hairspray, and lotions. Wait to put on your jewelry to them dried.
• Stones and pearls in our jewelry should be cared for a little extra. We therefore recommend that you always add a layer of clear nail polish over the crystals on your jewelry. As the crystals are bonded together, they can, for example, you happen to bump into something loose. If you put some time in the month of transparent nail polish over them, protecting it in a good way.
