- 1) Always store silver jewelry out of sunlight
- 2) Do not mingle your jewelry, store each piece separately to avoid scratches
- 3) Store silver jewelry in a small plastic bag. To prevent oxidation, include a small piece of carbon paper in the bag.
- 4) Keep a few polishing cloths on hand. Give your pieces a quick wipe for an extra pop of shine.
- 5) Wipe down your jewelry with the polishing cloths before storing them again in the plastic bags.

Select your pieces carefully to pull an outfit together, but don't wear too many pieces at once. It dilutes the "Wow" factor. We definitely believe that less is more and here are some guidelines that we like to follow:
- 1) Wear the right length necklace to compliment your neckline. For a plunging neckline, select a necklace that falls at or below the collarbone. A high neckline is accentuated by a longer necklace, that falls below the bust. Chokers are a natural choice for strapless dresses.
- 2) When going with a bold, chunky piece, don't wear small, dainty pieces as well. Opt for a monochromatic look, instead of wearing large prints or florals.
- 3) If you're opting for a dramatic cocktail ring, don't wear other smaller rings. Let that gorgeous statement piece stand on it's own and attract attention. That's why you're wearing it, right?
- 4) It's ok to mix metals, but stay within the same style. If you're wearing a delicate necklace, don't pair it with a chunky chain necklace.
