How to maintain jewelry?

If you have important jewelry and you don’t know how to care of it. Here are some useful tips for you.

1. Prevent it from coming into contact with timber.

Refrain from placing your adornments on surfaces treated with chemicals or on timber that can blemish or accelerate the oxidation procedure.

2. Store it inside a sealed plastic bag.

As time passes, your accessories get exposed to humidity and oxygen, leading to gradual discoloration. Place it inside a ziplock bag and eliminate all air by pressing it before sealing it tightly.

3. Store your silver with chalk

Chalk absorbs moisture, or if you find that dusty, invest in some dehumidifiers or silica packs.

4. Keep your jewellery dry and away from skincare.

Avoid wearing jewelry when using lotions, perfume, or hairspray, and never wear silver pieces in water or saunas.

5. Avoid leaving it in sunlight.

The colour of gemstones will become dull when exposed to too much light.

6. Put your pieces on rotation.

Jewellery shouldn’t be worn constantly, take a break and show appreciation to other pieces of jewellery.

7. Keep gold jewellery separately from silver jewellery.

Gold can be easily damaged, so store them in separate soft fabric bags or the original containers they were purchased in.

8. Give it a wipe.

At the end of the day, clean your jewellery with an anti-tarnish cloth before putting it away. This will make sure any remaining moisture, oils or dirt is removed.

9. Do not use toothpaste.

That home remedy is too abrasive and will damage your jewellery in the long run.

10. Use dishwashing soap and warm water.

For pieces that are dull, foggy, or beginning to discolor, combine a few drops of gentle dish soap with warm water and rub the jewellery with a soft cloth. Rinse in cold water and buff with a cloth until dry. cold water and buff with a cloth until dry.

11. Give your jewellery a no-soak treatment.

For pearls and other porous stones, employ a small makeup brush soaked in shampoo and water to clean. Use a wet cloth to wipe the pearl.

For costume jewellery, consider putting a thin layer of clear nail polish on any part of the jewellery that touches your skin.
