At Borthwick Jewelry, Inc. we provide you with a Jewelry Care Guide that will help your
jewelry last
forever. There are many things you can do to prevent jewelry from getting damaged.
It's always advisable to wait until you have applied makeup, perfume and
hairspray before
putting on jewelry.
Wear your jewelry in the shower because the hot water from the shower helps keep
you jewelry
clean but remember to take any silver jewelry off when you are swimming because
the silver
will tarnish in the pool water.
Wrap your jewelry in a tissue or cloth separately while it is being stored.
Avoid using a
leather case or plastic bags.
When doing household work always remove your jewelry.
Cleaning your jewelry on your own is a very good idea, but make sure you never
use bleach as
it can destroy your jewelry. Also, never clean jewelry that is already damaged,
doing so may
worsen the damage. Using water and mild soap is an acceptable way to clean most
jewelry.
Bring your jewelry to Borthwick Jewelry Inc. regularly to have it checked for
wear to
prevent further damage.
When storing jewelry avoid putting valuable jewelry in your jewelry box on top
of your
dresser. Also avoid hiding valuable in your lingerie draw.
It is best to wear your jewelry, and possible get a safety deposit box.
I recommend finding someone handy to make you a secret cubby under a side table
or possible
under a draw. Maybe a secret cubby behind a cabinet or picture in the wall. I
have also
heard of people sticking a fed ex plastic label under the back of a draw to slip
jewelry in
or sticking the label onto the back of a dresser and than sliding it carefully
against the
wall. These ideas we hope are useful for you.
We recommend not storing your extra jewelry in your bedroom, especially if you
are having a
barbecue or party. You never know who might roam in when they smelll those
cheeseburgers
grilling. friends relatives might just think he's another friend. During parties
and events
wear your jewelry. If you have too much to wear please secure jewelry in a
safety deposit
box or secret location as mentioned above.
