Always apply perfume, hairspray and lotions before putting on your jewelry — never after. Chemicals in these products interact with the plating and reduce its longevity.

Remove your jewelry before swimming, showering or exercising. Water, chlorine and sweat accelerate natural wear of the 18k gold finish.

Wipe with a soft, dry microfiber cloth only. Never use abrasive cleaners, polishing liquids or ultrasonic machines — these damage both the wire mesh and the protective finish.

Return each piece to its Romeo Delauris pouch or soft-lined box when not wearing. This prevents scratches, oxidation, and mesh deformation from contact with other jewelry.

Make your jewelry the final touch to your outfit and the first thing you remove. This simple habit extends the life of both the plating and the crystals.

The hand-knitted wire mesh holds its shape under normal wear but can deform under strong pressure or compression. Treat it as you would any sculptural fine jewelry.
