Do's and Don'ts of Wearing Jewelry Daily

Jewelry is meant to be worn and enjoyed every day. But a few simple habits can mean the difference between pieces that last a lifetime and ones that lose their lustre far too soon. Here is your essential guide.

The Do's

• Do put jewelry on last. Always apply perfume, moisturiser, and hairspray before wearing your jewelry. Chemicals in these products can dull metals and damage gemstones over time.
• Do wear your rings on clean, dry hands. Oils and residue from daily tasks can build up quickly and affect the finish.
• Do layer with intention. Mixing metals and textures can look stunning — but choose pieces that complement rather than compete. A delicate necklace pairs beautifully with a bold earring.
• Do clean your jewelry regularly. A gentle wipe with a soft cloth after each wear keeps pieces looking their best.
• Do store each piece separately to avoid scratches and tangles.
• Do wear your anklets with confidence. A delicate anklet is one of the most effortless ways to elevate a casual look.

The Don'ts

• Don't wear jewelry while swimming. Chlorine and saltwater are harsh on metals and can cause irreversible damage.
• Don't sleep in your jewelry. Chains tangle, settings loosen, and delicate pieces bend under pressure. Give your jewelry — and yourself — a rest.
• Don't expose jewelry to direct sunlight for long periods. Heat and UV light can fade gemstones and weaken certain metals.
• Don't wear your finest pieces while cooking or cleaning. Household chemicals, heat, and physical impact are not kind to jewelry.
• Don't pull or tug at bracelets and necklaces. Always unclasp properly to preserve the integrity of the setting and chain.
• Don't ignore signs of wear. Loose stones, bent prongs, or discolouration are signals that a piece needs professional attention.
