The more intentional you are about caring for your jewelry, the longer it will last.
When not being worn, store your necklace in a safe, dry place to protect it from daily exposure. Avoid harsh chemicals, perfumes, and lotions to prevent damage. Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth, and avoid abrasive cleaners. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high temperatures can fade the color of the coral.
Certain metals, like vermeil and sterling silver, can be prone to tarnishing, so ensure proper storage to maintain their shine. Periodically check the clasp and beads for any signs of wear or damage, and have repairs done by a professional if necessary.
