JEWELLERY CARE GUIDE
Jewellery can hold a special place in our hearts and often carries a sentimental value. Whether you own silver jewellery, gold-plated pieces, or stunning pearl jewellery, taking proper care of your collection is essential to maintain the beauty for generations. This comprehensive jewellery care guide covers tips for maintaining and preserving your jewellery.
Cleanliness is Key
- Regularly clean your jewellery to remove dirt, oils, and sweat that can accumulate over time.
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe away surface dirt and oils after wearing your jewellery.
- Keep your jewellery from harsh chemicals, including household cleaners, perfumes, and hairsprays.
- Chemical exposure can tarnish silver jewellery and harm delicate gemstones.
- Store each piece of jewellery separately to prevent scratching.
- Consider storing your jewellery in special jewellery boxes, pouches, or soft fabric-lined compartments.
- Remove your jewellery before swimming, showering, or engaging in physical activities.
- Exposure to water, sweat, and chemicals can cause damage or tarnishing.
- Tarnish Prevention: Silver jewellery tends to tarnish over time. Store it in airtight containers or use anti-tarnish strips.
- Cleaning: Gently clean with a silver polishing cloth or a mild silver cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials.
- Avoid Rubber: Rubber materials can accelerate tarnishing.
- Gentle Cleaning: Clean gently with a soft cloth to avoid scratching off the gold plating.
- Limit Exposure: Minimize contact with water, chemicals, and sweat to preserve the gold plating.
- Delicate Handling: Pearls are fragile. Handle them with care to avoid scratches.
- Avoid Liquids: Keep pearls away from water, as it can weaken the silk thread that holds them together.
- Regular Cleaning: Clean your gold jewellery regularly with a soft cloth to remove dirt and oils. For pieces with more intricate designs, use a soft-bristle toothbrush to reach crevices.
- Avoid Chemical Exposure: Even though gold is resistant to tarnishing, it can be affected if exposed to chemicals. Remove your gold jewellery before using household cleaning agents, perfumes, or hairsprays. Chemicals can dull the shine and damage delicate gemstones.
- Storing Properly: Store your gold jewellery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When not worn, we advise you to keep your jewellery in separate compartments or pouches to prevent scratches and tangling with other jewellery.
- Polishing: Periodically, use a gold-specific jewellery polishing cloth or a mild gold cleaner to restore its lustre. Avoid using abrasive materials that can scratch the surface.
