Caring for your jewellery
Jewellery care tips
-
Store Properly: Always store your jewelry in a cool, dry place. Use soft cloth bags or jewelry boxes with compartments to prevent scratching and tangling.
-
Keep Away from Chemicals: Avoid exposing your jewelry to harsh chemicals, including perfumes, lotions, and household cleaners, as these can tarnish or damage the materials.
-
Remove Before Activities: Take off your jewelry before swimming, exercising, or doing household chores to protect it from damage and exposure to sweat or chlorine.
-
Clean Regularly: Clean your jewelry with a soft, lint-free cloth. For a deeper clean, use mild soap and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
-
Polish Carefully: Use a jewelry-specific polishing cloth to maintain the shine of your pieces. Be gentle, especially with gold, silver, and gemstones.
-
Check for Damage: Regularly inspect your jewelry for signs of wear, such as loose stones or bent clasps, and take it to a professional jeweler for repairs if needed.
-
Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Keep your jewelry away from extreme heat or cold, as sudden temperature changes can damage certain gemstones and metals.
-
Handle with Care: When putting on or taking off your jewelry, do so gently to avoid bending or breaking delicate parts.
-
Use Anti-Tarnish Strips: Place anti-tarnish strips in your jewelry box to help slow down the tarnishing process of silver and other metals.
-
Professional Cleaning: For valuable or intricate pieces, consider professional cleaning and maintenance at least once a year to preserve their beauty and longevity.
