3. Avoid using your fine jewelry when you are doing housework. This will prevent scratches and bumps.
4. Store your silver jewelry in a clean, dry, always store them in boxes lined with fabric, felt or bags divided compartments. If you prefer to use ordinary boxes, wrap each piece individually in paper.
