Jewellery Care Tips

Jewellery is one of the most precious possessions you can own, but it does need some TLC at times. The value of your jewellery can be increased by caring for it correctly.
So here’s some quick tips to keep your jewellery sparkling✨

Clean your jewellery

To clean jewellery, you should use a soft, dry cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners or ultrasonic cleaners. If your jewellery has gemstones in it (like pearls), these should be handled with care. Don’t soak them in water for too long and don’t expose them to harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia.
Gold and silver jewellery is best cleaned using liquid soap and warm water. This will remove any dirt from the item and leave it shiny again! Platinum pieces require special care, never use acidic solutions on them because this could damage the metal over time; just use warm water instead.
To keep your jewellery looking its best, avoid touching it as much as possible and use a polishing cloth to maintain shine and to remove tarnishing that’s resulted from wear.

How to store your jewellery

The best place to store your jewellery is in a box or pouch. This will keep it clean and away from dust, which can cause damage over time. The pouch your jewellery comes in is perfect for this.
Additionally, don’t store your jewellery with other items like keys or change because this will scratch the precious metal of your jewels. If you want to keep multiple pieces of jewellery together, separate drawers are recommended for better organization and longevity of each piece’s appearance.

5 tips to maintain your jewellery

Keeping your jewellery clean is not just about aesthetics; it’s also about maintaining its structural integrity.

1. Cleaning: Use a soft cloth to wipe off any surface dirt, which can be easily transferred from fingers to the jewellery during handling. For a deeper clean, try using washing up liquid soap, warm water and an old toothbrush.
2. Dry completely: Make sure that your jewellery dries completely after cleaning so that no moisture remains on or inside it. This will help prevent corrosion and damage from occurring overtime.
3. Protect from chemicals: Avoid exposing gemstones and pearls or other organic materials to products containing chlorine or ammonia because it can discolour them over time.
4. Protect from heat: Do not wear your precious metals while working out or swimming in chlorinated pools as these activities increase perspiration which may lead to tarnishing when exposed directly against skin.
5. Storing: Store your jewellery in a pouch or jewellery box where it won’t rub on other pieces and cause it to be scratched.
