Q: Can I wear it in the shower or while swimming?
A: Tiffany recommends removing jewellery before showering, bathing or swimming. Avoid chlorine, bleach and exposure to salt water, which can accelerate silver tarnishing.

Q: Will the silver tarnish, and how should I clean it?

Q: How should I store this necklace?
A: Store it clean and completely dry in a soft, tarnish-resistant jewellery pouch, keeping it separate from other pieces to help prevent scratches. A storage pouch would need to be provided separately, as none is included.
