        Chemicals:

        As a general rule, always keep your jewellery away from chlorine, bleach, and other harsh chemicals, as they can severely damage both gemstones and metals. Additionally, oil-based lotions and everyday products like hairspray, mousse, and perfumes can leave a dull residue on your jewellery, diminishing its shine and making it difficult to clean. Therefore, it's best to remove your jewellery before grooming.
