The best way to keep your jewelry shiny is to take care of it. “Take it off after arriving home and lay each piece on a flat surface, when not being worn," says Rachel Fix. You should also refrain from showering with any piece, no matter the material, and do your best to avoid interactions with lotions and perfumes, she says. This will maintain the shape and integrity of your jewelry, keeping it from getting dull and having caked-on grime from exposure to soap and dirt, among other things. If you follow these steps, you'll keep your pieces looking pristine for longer and make the cleaning process easier when it does become necessary.
