• Keep  your sterling silver jewelry in a plastic baggie, seal it- This will keep the air from tarnishing your sterling silver.   Less polishing is always a good thing!

• Rubber earring backs are great and very comfortable. However, they do need to be replaced every so often.  Your body oils and the natural elements in life tend to harden them.

• Putting your jewelry on after applying hair spray, lotions and beauty products/make-up will prevent build up that can lessen the beauty of gemstones & sterling silver.

• When needed using a polishing cloth on your sterling silver jewelry keeps it shiny and beautiful. 

• Cleaning crystals- I like to use a nice soft cloth with a little water, ring it out and gently run it over your Swarovski crystals to bring back their sparkle!

These are things that have worked for me over the years!
