Storing jewelry: be careful with your jewelry box!

A precaution that not everyone knows is to take when storing our accessories in a jewelry box or in a specific case. In fact, the jewels must remain separate from each other, to prevent the gems, of different hardness, from being damaged due to rubbing. Be especially careful with the emerald, which is very fragile and risks being damaged if it suffers a shock!

Water and pearls: two different worlds

In the case of pearls, it is important to pay great attention to their care . Although they are born in the depths, they are a gem that is decidedly sensitive to water, detergents and sweat. Therefore, every time we wear them, let's remember to dry them delicately with a cloth before storing them, to preserve their natural shine. It is important to be very careful and therefore avoid pearls coming into contact with chemical liquids, such as hairspray and perfume, or we risk ruining them!
