Hello beautiful!
We know, that alluring piece of sparkle sitting in your jewellery box is more than just a jewellery piece- it’s a statement, a memory, and often a heritage passed down through generations.
We all have that sparkling piece that’s close to our hearts and we cannot afford to get it scratched. Every single piece that you have added to your collection, has a story and needs to be cared for.
This blog post is your ultimate guide to caring for those precious elegant pieces and keeping their shine intact while increasing their life. Let’s dive in straight away, without wasting much time.
10 Ways to Ensure Your Jewellery Stays As Stunning As The Day You Got It
1. Clean Regularly
Just like you need to take a shower daily to get rid of all that dust sitting nicely on your body, your jewellery needs it too! Your jewellery deals with dust, sweat, and natural oils while making you look nicer. All of these things can dull its shine, making it appear worn out.
To maintain the shine of your jewels, clean them regularly using a mild soap solution and a soft brush. The 925 Sterling Silver Double Chain Necklace Set with Cubic Zirconia by FJewellery is a great option if you want to add even more glitz.
This exquisite piece, which has a complex design, is very easy to clean and would benefit immensely from routine gentle cleaning.
2. Ensure Proper Storage
It is very crucial to keep your jewellery in proper storage boxes to avoid any damage. Not storing properly can lead to your adornments getting scratched and tangled- the last thing you would want to happen to your favourite pieces.
Use soft pouched or jewellery boxes with compartments to store your jewellery and reduce the risk of damage. Every piece of jewellery is unique and has to be stored carefully, such as the 925 Sterling Silver Drop Pendant Necklace 17", which deserves its own space to prevent any potential damage from other pieces.
3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Chemicals usually found in household cleaning products, perfume, and some of the lotions are not your jewellery’s best friend. These can cause substantial damage to your ornaments. So, make sure that you remove your jewellery before cleaning. Wear them after you’re done applying perfume or lotions.
For instance, elegant pieces such as 18ct Solid Akoya Pearl Earrings should be kept away from any chemical exposure to preserve their lustrous finish.
4. Limit Exposure to Water
While some jewellery pieces have water resistance, prolonged exposure to water can still damage them. That’s why it is generally recommended to remove your jewellery before activities such as swimming, showering, or washing dishes. This ensures that the shine of your favourite sparkle remains intact.
Elegant pieces such as the 925 Sterling Silver Luscious Tassel Necklace should be kept dry to maintain its rhodium-coated shine.
5. Use Proper Cleaning Solutions
One size fits all is not the best strategy for cleaning your jewellery. Every material has distinct properties, so there is a need to use different cleaning methods. For instance, a mixture of warm water and dish soap is ideal for cleaning gold jewellery, while you might need a specialised silver cleaner for silver jewellery pieces. It’s best to do some research or consult a jewellery expert for the best cleaning method for your specific pieces.
6. Regular Inspections
If you want to increase the life of your jewellery, it is important to keep an eye on any signs of damage, such as loose stones or worn clasps. Regularly checking can help you identify such issues early and can save your jewellery pieces from getting damaged further. Especially in the case of jewellery items that have gemstones, be extra careful.
7. Fragile- Handle with Care!
To make your jewellery pieces last longer, handle them with care. When putting on or taking off your jewellery, make sure to be gentle to avoid bending or breaking delicate parts.
Pieces such as the Rose Gold Plated 925 Sterling Silver Intricate Dress Ring need gentle handling to maintain their intricate detailing.
8. Wear Your Jewellery in Rotation
If you want your beautiful adornment to last forever, it is important to treat it like royalty. Wearing the same piece of jewellery every day can cause it to wear out faster. So, your best bet is to wear your pieces in rotation. This would help minimise the risk of damage that can be caused by daily wear. In addition, it also gives you an excuse to show off more of your collection!
9. Professional Cleaning and Maintenance
While you can keep your jewellery pieces sparkling with these tips, it is advisable to visit a professional jewellery cleaner once a year and get your pieces inspected and cleaned. Professional jewellers can clean your pieces more efficiently and also check for any potential damage.
This can ensure that items such as this beautiful 925 Sterling Silver Necklace for Women stay in perfect condition.
10. Know When to Remove Your Jewellery
We know that you would want to dazzle every second of your life, and to be honest, who doesn’t? But, to ensure your jewellery pieces stay shinier and intact, it is best to avoid wearing them on certain occasions.
Avoid wearing jewellery when indulging in activities such as exercising, gardening, or heavy lifting as this can put your ornaments at risk of damage. Also, make it a habit to remove your jewellery before going to bed.
These are some of the hacks to ensure that your favourite pieces of bling remain a lasting and beautiful part of your life.
