A Quick Guide to Caring for Your Nova Stone Jewelry

1. The Daily Essentials

• Last On, First Off: Apply lotions, perfumes, and hairspray before putting on your jewelry. Chemicals can dull the surface of metals and stones.

• Know When to Remove: Take off your pieces before swimming (chlorine is harsh), exercising (to avoid bending bands), or cleaning with chemicals.

2. Easy At-Home Cleaning

To restore that "like-new" brilliance, give your jewelry a gentle bath:

1. Soak: Use a bowl of warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap.

2. Brush: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently clean behind the stones and around the settings.

3. Dry: Rinse with clean water and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.

   • Note: For porous stones like Opals or Pearls, skip the soak and simply wipe with a damp cloth.

3. Safe Storage

• Store Separately: Use individual soft pouches or a lined jewelry box. This prevents harder stones (like diamonds) from scratching softer gems or delicate gold.

• Cool & Dry: Keep your jewelry away from humidity to prevent metal tarnish.
