How should I store/protect my jewelry?

• Keep jewelry dry at all times to maintain quality and appearance.
• Remove jewelry before activities involving water or humidity, such as showering, swimming, or using chemical products like colognes or perfumes.
• Chlorine exposure, especially at higher temperatures, can cause permanent damage or discoloration to gold jewelry due to oxidization.
• Use provided dust bags for protection when not wearing jewelry.
  Store jewelry in storage boxes lined with tarnish-proof fabric and with separate compartments for each piece. Consider using desiccant crystals in humid climates to absorb excess moisture.
• Avoid storing jewelry with rubber products to prevent damage.

Keep in mind each order only comes with one leather, dust-proof bag. You have the option to purchase more for $4.99 USD each (taxes not inclusive) by speaking with a GLD team member.
