HOW TO STORE YOUR JEWELLERY
- Store your jewellery separately in a jewellery roll, soft pouch or ziplock bags to avoid scratching or tangling.
- Living in a humid environment? Store your jewellery with a small packet of desiccant crystals to help reduce tarnishing.
- Keep your pieces in a dark, cool and dry place.
- Avoid direct sunlight when storing your jewellery as prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause many gemstones to fade and lose their colour. Amethyst, rose quartz, chalcedony and smokey quartz are just some of the gemstones that can become paler from exposure to sunlight.
- Be sure to avoid storing jewellery out in the open, or next to heating vents, windowsills or in the bathroom
