To make your stone-studded jewelry last for a long time, clean it regularly without a miss.

Simple mild detergent and warm water is enough to clean the pieces using a soft brush to gently remove all the dirt and dust. Rinse the gemstones and dry it properly before you store them. Remember, you need to have a lot of patience when it comes to cleaning your jewelry.
When you are not donning the jewelry, make sure you store it safely in your locker to keep it away from scratch or damage.
