-- How Will You Use This Story? -- :60
READER SCRIPT FINE-JEWELRY IS A PRECIOUS POSSESSION THAT'S DESIGNED AND CRAFTED TO LAST A LIFETIME. KNOWING HOW TO PROPERLY CARE FOR YOUR FINE-JEWELRY IS IMPORTANT--SO THAT IT CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH MANY YEARS OF ENJOYMENT. JEWELRY INFORMATION CENTER OFFERS THESE TIPS ON HOW TO PROPERLY CARE FOR YOUR FINE-JEWELRY: FIRST, REMOVE ALL JEWELRY--ESPECIALLY RINGS--WHEN DOING OUTSIDE-WORK, LIKE GARDENING--AS SUDDEN ACCIDENTAL BLOWS CAN DAMAGE STONES. ALSO, BE SURE TO REMOVE YOUR JEWELRY BEFORE YOU GO INTO A POOL OR HOT-TUB--AS SOME METALS AND GEMSTONES CAN BECOME DISCOLORED, WHEN EXPOSED TO POOL-CHEMICALS. IT'S ALSO A GOOD IDEA TO REMOVE ALL JEWELRY BEFORE SHOWERING--AS SOME SOAPS CAN LEAVE A RESIDUE AND DULL THE FINISH OF FINE-PIECES. IN ADDITION, YOU SHOULD WIPE DOWN YOUR JEWELRY--WITH A DAMP CLOTH--AFTER EACH WEAR. AND FINALLY, MAKE SURE THAT YOU STORE YOUR JEWELRY IN A CLEAN, MOISTURE-FREE ENVIRONMENT--LIKE A FABRIC-LINED JEWELRY-CASE, WITH MULTIPLE COMPARTMENTS OR DIVIDERS; THE COMPARTMENTS KEEP YOUR JEWELRY FROM SCRATCHING EACH OTHER. THESE SIMPLE STEPS WILL KEEP YOUR JEWELRY SPARKLING--SO YOU CAN ENJOY THEM, FOR YEARS TO COME. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON CARING FOR YOUR JEWELRY, LOG ON TO W-W-W-DOT-"J-I-C"-DOT-ORG.
