Always keep your jewelry items stored separately, ideally in your JEWLLISTA pack, to prevent them from rubbing against each other, scratching, or tangling. Special attention should be given to gemstones to ensure they do not collide when stored. Additionally, remember to keep your chains fastened to avoid tangling. Residing in a humid environment? Use a small packet of desiccant crystals to help minimize tarnishing when storing your jewelry. Your gold vermeil and silver jewelry should be kept in a cool, dark, and dry location. Over time and with wear, sterling silver will naturally oxidize and eventually tarnish. To prevent oxidation, store silver jewelry in a sealed plastic bag or airtight box when not in use. Wearing your jewelry frequently can also slow down the oxidation process. However, if your jewelry is stored for extended periods, it is advisable to clean it occasionally to maintain its shine and prevent oxidation.  Your jewelry is especially vulnerable to damage from chemicals found in perfume, hairspray, makeup, nail polish remover, body oils, suntan lotion, and deodorant. Avoid placing jewelry in direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure can cause many gemstones to fade and lose their color. Amethyst, rose quartz, chalcedony, and smoky quartz are just a few examples of gemstones that can become lighter due to sunlight exposure
