Laurel Wreath Green Jade Brooch

To keep your jade, pearl, and gold-plated jewelry in top condition, avoid impact, as jade is brittle and pearls are delicate. Remove jewelry before swimming—chemicals can cause damage—and never shower with gold-plated pieces, as water can cause tarnishing. Avoid harsh cleaners like acids or alcohol; instead, use water or a mild soap solution to keep them looking their best.
