For a ring, check whether its size is fixed or adjustable and look at the back. For earrings, inspect the fastening and scale. A studio image reveals details; a worn image helps you judge size. Enamel, resin or stone elements also need their own care.

Protect the finish

Store pieces separately to avoid scratches. Wipe gently and dry them after cleaning. Perfume, creams and cleaning products may affect decorative elements and finishes.
