How do I layer necklaces without them tangling? Edited

Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or anti-tarnish bag. Silver and gold scratch each other. Add silica gel packets to absorb moisture. A divided jewelry box works. Never toss all your necklaces in one drawer - they tangle and scratch.

Pearls need gentle care: wipe with a soft damp cloth after wearing, avoid perfume and hairspray on them. Never soak them, never ultrasonic them. Re-string pearls every 2-3 years because silk stretches. Store flat, not hanging.

Steam and ultrasonic work by dislodging grease and skin oil. They are safe for hard, non-porous stones. Never on pearls, opals, emeralds, or stones with glue settings. That is why your jeweler asks what stone you have first.
