No matter how careful you are with your jewelry, scratches are inevitable. Here are a few tips on getting rid of them and preventing them:
1) Soak in warm water and a few drops of liquid detergent
2) Wait 5 minutes then dry gently with cloth
3) Next, use a polishing cloth (can buy at a jewelry store) and buff the scratches out. CAREFUL NOT TO rub with a polishing cloth because it could cause damage
4) Put on jewelry AFTER you do your hair, makeup, or any chores to prevent scratches
DO
