Jewelry is delicate by nature...
...so please be conscientious while wearing your jewelry and ensure you care for it properly. First and foremost, the best practice is to follow the motto: your jewelry is the last thing on before you leave the house, and first thing off when you come home. In reality it is difficult to follow this regimen routinely, so the bullet point is to always keep your jewelry clean and dry.
Remove your jewelry when bathing, beaching, exercising, applying perfume and lotion, house cleaning with chemicals, gardening, or sleeping. Avoid chlorinated pools as the chemicals may cause damage over time. We emphasize removal before: swimming (high risk of loss especially in the ocean), before climbing or lifting weights (potential danger to your finger if caught in an accident), before applying lotion or bar soap (can get caked into crevices and between settings which can dull stones or loosen settings), and lastly before sleeping (especially with prongs because they are prone to damage when caught in blankets or sheets).
Exception - any Jen Leddy bezel set gemstone piece: Do NOT use foam cleanser and do not submerge any fully closed bezel set gemstone piece in water. Moisture can get trapped behind the stone and cause discoloration, mold, or at worst damage the stone. See below for more details.
