Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place—ideally in your
  Simone Prince pouch or a jewelry box.
• Keep jewelry pieces separate to prevent
  scratching or tangling.
• Use an airtight container or zip-lock bag to reduce oxidation and tarnishing especially for silver pieces.
• Consider using anti-tarnish strips or silica gel packets in your storage container to absorb excess moisture.
• Store pieces separately in individual pouches or compartments to prevent damage, especially while traveling.

Care & Cleaning

• Your jewelry should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off.
• Take off your jewelry before sleep.
• After each wear, gently wipe your jewelry with a soft, lint-free cloth—ideally your Simone Prince cloth—to remove surface oils, dirt, and sweat.
• For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and lukewarm water. Gently scrub with a soft cloth or brush, rinse well, and pat dry.
• Use ultrasonic cleaners cautiously—avoid using them on delicate, porous, or heat-sensitive stones like pearls, opals, turquoise, and emeralds.
• Have your jewelry professionally cleaned and inspected every six months to ensure settings are secure and to remove deep-set grime.

Avoid

• To preserve brilliance and protect the finish, avoid direct contact with water, perfumes, lotions, and sweat.
• Do not expose jewelry to harsh chemicals such as perfumes, lotions, creams, soaps, hairsprays, or household cleaners.
• Avoid wearing jewelry while swimming, working out, or showering.
• Avoid abrasive polishes, hard chemicals, or cleaners that can scratch metal or dull gemstones.
• Be cautious with tools—avoid excessive brushing or scrubbing, especially on soft-set stones or gold pieces.
• Not all jewelry is suitable for ultrasonic or steam cleaning—consult a professional jeweler when in doubt.
