HOW TO...


Care for fashion jewelry


Keeping your trinkets looking like a million bucks doesn’t require much money, but it does take work. The first step is storage. “Keep [pieces] in their original box,” says Juan Suárez, creative director of Spain’s Aristocrazy, whose only U.S. outpost is at Aventura Mall (19575 Biscayne Blvd, Aventura; 305-935-0314). Here he offers tips to ensure your favorite pieces last a lifetime.

2 If you use a jewelry case (even a velvet one!), make sure that the pieces are


kept in different compartments. Diamonds, for instance, can very easily scrape other stones and metals with very little friction.

detergents that can tarnish a piece, so never spray directly onto jewels.
