Jewelry Tips: Using Soap? Take It Off!

It's very simple – if you have a shower, then you must know what soap scum looks like.

Well, soap on your gem stones is no different. We under stand that you don't want to take off your new piece of jewelry. Sorry, but if you are using soap, take it off! You're doing your jewelry no favors by keeping it on.

Rings might be the worst for soap scum build-up because there are so many surfaces for soap to sit on. With time, you see your gem stone jewelry just isn't as shiny as it once was. Well, look between the stones and you can see the build up – and not just gems. Your bracelets, chains, and so on will have soap scum if you keep them on in the shower.

Don't forget about lotion – this is another enemy of jewelry because it gets everywhere. When you use lotion, take off the gems, lotion up, and put them back on.

If your jewelry does get dirty, every jewelry store should be able to clean your jewelry in their machine and it only takes a few minutes to do it.

Trust me, your jewelry will thank you.
