When not being worn, we recommend that you store your jewelry in the box that it came in. This will minimise the effects of sunlight and the environment. Avoid all contact with water, body lotions, perfumes, sun creams, cleaning products and make-up as these will affect the plating. To keep your jewelry sparkling, you can polish it gently with a soft jewelry cloth. Made in: United Kingdom
