Jewelry, like any other good, is likely to show wear and tear over time, but with proper care, you can prolong this process. Here are a few tips on how to keep your new jewelry in peak condition.
Avoid ammonia, vinegar, acid and alcohol. These items will corrode your jewelry quickly to a non-repairable condition.
Keep away from common items such as perfume, hairspray and lotion as they can easily alter the finish of your fashion jewelry. A good rule of thumb is to put on your jewelry after you get yourself ready in the morning and then remove it as soon as you get home. If you practice this you can easily keep exposure to substances such as these to a minimum.
Always remove jewelry items before washing your hands and/or applying hand lotion.
Remember that moisture can cause rust or pits to form on your jewelry so remember to never wear fashion jewelry during a bath or shower or while swimming.
Fashion jewelry is not meant to last forever. Even with the best care, over time the finish will start to tarnish and the gleam of the stones will begin to fade. There are loads of new looks for you to try and because the prices are affordable you will not have to break the bank in order to do it.
OMG, thank you so much! I make handmade jewelry and wear it as well and this was very helpful. You rock!

Great tips! But on top of protection, the plating is also important. Jewellery with rhodium plating are hypoallergenic and remain shiny for longer.
