These chemicals e.g. sprays and lotions might create a film on the jewelry resulting in the dullness and dingy surface of the jewelry. Thus, apply all your lotions and perfume first, after dried, then put on your jewelry.

AVOID DIRECT SUNLIGHT, HEAT OR COLD, AND STAY AWAY FROM HUMIDITY ENVIRONMENT
