To use this necklace, simply open the spring - ring closure and put it around your neck. It's a great piece for daily wear or special occasions. When it comes to maintenance, clean it gently with a soft cloth to keep it shiny. Avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia as they can damage the gold and diamonds. Store it in a jewelry box to prevent scratches. Remember, because of the unique nature of the materials, the exact look may vary a bit from the picture you saw, but that's what makes it special.
