I have been in jewelry busines fo several years and would like to share some tips with you:
1) Store silver in plastic bags to help retard tarnishing
2) Do not wear jewelry in Chlorine pools - it breaks down metals and loosens prongs resulting in stone loss
3) Do not put silver in professional cleaners that have gold in - chemical reaction will ruin your silver
4) Many stones are treated - do not put jewelry with any stones except Red (ruby), White (diamonds) and Blue (sapphire) into professional cleaners
5) Never clean pearls and opal with anything but a damp moist rag! They are very delicate
