Also spraying perfume and allowing creams to come in contact with the jewelry may affect the color of the metal, especially brass and gold plated pieces. Where possible, store each piece of jewelry in individual Pat's bags or boxes, this will stop tangling and scratching. We recommend using silver or brass cleaner cloths. Please do not use paper as this can scratch the jewelry.
