To ensure its longevity and preserve its beauty, it's important to provide proper care. Follow this care guide to keep your SoKo Jewels pieces looking radiant for years to come:

1. Storage:
   - Store each piece separately to avoid scratches or tangles.
   - Use a soft cloth or individual jewellery pouches to prevent metal and gemstone damage.
   - Avoid storing jewellery in high humidity areas or near direct sunlight to prevent tarnishing.

2. Cleaning:
   - Regularly clean your jewellery to maintain its shine and remove any dirt or residue.
   - Use a mild solution of warm water and a few drops of gentle liquid soap.
   - Gently scrub with a soft toothbrush or a lint-free cloth, paying attention to intricate details.
   - Rinse thoroughly with clean water and pat dry with a soft cloth.
   - Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or ultrasonic cleaners, as they may damage delicate gemstones or precious metals.

3. Gemstone Care:
   - Gemstones are unique and require specific care. Refer to the guidelines below:
     - Diamonds: Clean with a mild solution and a soft brush. Avoid contact with chlorine and other harsh chemicals.
     - Pearls: Wipe gently with a soft cloth after each wear. Avoid contact with perfumes, cosmetics, and hairspray.
     - Emeralds: Clean with a soft cloth and mild solution. Avoid sudden temperature changes, extreme heat, and harsh chemicals.
     - Sapphires and Rubies: Clean with a mild solution and a soft brush. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and high heat.
