Who doesn’t want their shiny, bling pieces of jewellery to look like new every time they wear it? But, let’s face it! Regular usage, physical activity and many such things can damage and tarnish these expensive pieces! So, this is where jewellery care tips can come in handy. You can keep your jewellery beautiful for years to come by following these tips. Let’s learn how to care for your jewellery!

Store your jewellery correctly:

Now, you must be thinking, duh, it’s jewellery we, of course, store it well. We believe you! But with time, the jewellery comes in contact with moisture causing it to tarnish. So, it’s important to keep your expensive jewellery clean and dry. You can use a jewellery box with separations or even zip lock bags to store your jewellery! This can prevent discolouration or any kind of damage.

Learn how to clean your jewellery:

Regular usage of jewellery can make it dirty and create dirt build-up. This calls for regular cleaning of your jewellery! Dust, oil and dirt can make the jewellery pieces look dull and old. Cleaning them can restore their shine and make them look new every time you wear them. Different jewellery pieces require different methods of cleaning, so learn what works best for your pieces and follow that! Avoid using abrasive cleaners to avoid any kind of scratch or damage to the jewellery. 

Avoid wearing jewellery while doing physical activities:

Physical activities like cleaning and going to the gym or spas can damage, scratch or even break your jewellery. So, avoid wearing your jewellery while doing such activities to keep them safe. Other than damaging your jewellery, these activities can also cause tarnish and discolouration of these pieces.

Keep your jewellery away from water:

Wearing jewellery in pools or while bathing is something we all do, but it can wear out the jewellery soon. As we already know, moisture and any contact with water can tarnish the jewellery and cause discolouration. Pool chlorine is also harmful to jewellery. Wear these items while doing dry physical activities only to prevent them from damage.

Don’t put lotion or perfume on your jewellery:

Always wear your jewellery after getting completely ready! Lotions, perfumes or any product containing chemicals can damage your jewels. These chemicals can permanently damage some expensive stones, such as pearls. If by any chance your jewels come in contact with any kind of chemicals, rinse them off immediately with water.
