How should the earring be cared for over time?

Wearing it regularly helps keep the sterling silver base from building up tarnish. A soft cloth wipe now and then, kept away from chlorine and perfume, along with dry storage when not worn, covers most of what it needs.

How to Care for Your Gold Vermeil Diamond Accent Mini Heart Hoop Earring
