Swarovski products are manufactured in the traditional way. The metal parts are coated and each crystal is used individually. Therefore, special attention is required. Jewelry and watches: Store jewelry in its original packaging or in soft flannel bags to avoid scratching. Occasionally wiping with a soft cloth will keep the original shine. Remove jewelry before washing your hands, swimming, or applying cosmetics such as perfume, hairspray, soap, or toner. Avoid contact with water. Avoid hitting hard objects around the jewelry, which may damage the jewelry, reduce the service life of the coating, cause discoloration and reduce the crystal luster. Watch: See your operating instructions for more information.
