Swarovski products are made in the traditional way. The metal parts are coated and each crystal is individually inserted. For this reason, special care is required.Jewellery and watches: Store your jewellery in the original packaging or a soft velvet bag to avoid scratches.Occasional polishing with a soft cloth preserves the original shine.Please remove your jewellery before washing hands, swimming or applying cosmetics such as perfume, hairspray, soaps or lotions. These could damage the jewelry, reduce the life of the coating, cause discolouration and diminish the crystal shine.Avoid contact with water.Avoid knocks on hard objects that could cause the jewellery to scratch, chip and other damage.Watches: for more information, please refer to the instruction manual.
