Try to protect any jewelery from 
scratches, sharp blows, harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures and sunlight. 
Common stones that are damaged in sunlight (there may be more): 
Amethyst: becomes paler 
Ametrine: may change color 
Apatite: pink variety fades 
Aquamarine: becomes paler 
Aventurine: translucent types often lose color 
Beryl: brown or orange types may change to pale pink 
Celestite: fades in direct sunlight 
Chrysoprase: becomes paler 
Citrine: may change color 
Fluorite:green and purple types change color 
Kunzite: becomes pale or loses color 
Rose Quartz: becomes paler 
Smokey Quartz: becomes paler 

o Store jewelery separately so it doesn't scratch other jewelry. 
o When doing household tasks such as gardening and cleaning, be certain to remove rings. 
o Put your jewelery on after washing and applying any makeup/hair spray. 
o Never wear jewelery while swimming in a swimming pool. The chlorine can cause damage to various gemstones and gold. Gemstones may become loose in their settings (and possibly fall out). 
o Avoid storing your jewelery next to a heating vent, window sill or on a car dashboard. 
o Store jewelery away from sunlight as the sun may fade the gemstones. 
o Always store bead necklaces (such as lapis, pearls, etc) flat as silk stretches over time. 
o Hardness is based on a gem-trade standard called the Mohs scale. The higher the Mohs scale number, the harder the stone is. The highest Mohs scale rating is 10 (diamonds). Anything with a Mohs scale rating of less than 7 is easily scratched (such as coral, lapis lazuli, opal, pearl, and turquoise). 
Gold, silver, and platinum are only Mohs 2-1/2 to 4. 
o Always carefully store any fine jewelery.
o Be certain that stones mounted in rings are not loose or rattle. The prongs of a ring can and do wear down. If the prongs wear down too much or break, you've lost the stone. Prongs are easily "retipped" by most jewelers to keep the stone secure. 
o If you have bead necklaces such as lapis or pearls, store them flat as silk stretches over time. Most jewelers will restring necklaces or reset stones (for a fee). 
o Sterling silver will polish up by rubbing or buffing it with a soft cotton cloth or a Jewelery Cloth. If you store silver in plastic bags with an interlocking seal, it will be less prone to tarnish. 
(Do NOT store pearls in plastic bags!) 
o Sterling silver that has an oxidized finish (blackened areas) - clean only with a soft cotton cloth or a Jewelery Cloth to polish.  DO NOT USE cleaning solutions, jewelery or otherwise; they will remove the finish.
o Wire jewelery in general is delicate.  The type of metal(s) used and thinner the gauge, the more care required. 
o COPPER WIRE IS SOFT.  To maintain the design's original shape, it is recommended not to be worn to bed, rather best to be the last article put on and the first to be taken off.
o CORDING - ENDLESS:  elastic will stretch out over time.  It's best not to wear in chlorinated water or expose to hair sprays and such.
o CORDING - WAXED COTTON: wears well over time.  But again, it's best not to wear in chlorinated water or expose to hair sprays and such.
o CORDING - LEATHERS:  wears well over time.  Caution:  if wet, tightens up when dry until stretches out again.
