Quick answer: A simple jewelry maintenance schedule keeps your pieces sparkling and secure: daily, remove rings for workouts, cleaning and swimming; weekly, clean everyday pieces in warm soapy water; every 6 months, have a jeweler professionally clean and check prongs; every 1 to 3 years, rhodium replate white gold rings; and every 2 to 5 years, update appraisals for insurance.
A little regular care prevents most jewelry problems. Here is an easy schedule to follow.
Jewelry Care Calendar

|---|---|
| Daily | Put jewelry on last, take it off first; remove for workouts, swimming, cleaning and sleep |

| Every 6 months | Professional cleaning and prong inspection |

Warning Signs to Watch For
