When you spend a lot of money on jewellery, you don’t wear it every day and you have to look after each piece very carefully. Here are some tips on how to look after and clean your jewellery.
Storage
You need to remember to store all your pieces separately as you don’t want them to scratch or fall apart. Especially if you have recently bought vintage eternity rings as vintage pieces need to be looked after extra carefully. Try to keep them out of sunlight or damp places
As they could easily get contaminated. For precious and semi-precious pieces, you should cover them with acid-free tissue to ensure that moisture or dust doesn’t touch them. Look into buying a nice jewellery box that can hold it all in at once and that will also keep them safe.
Cleaning
Cleaning your jewellery is extremely important, as it will remove any oils or dust, which will contaminate it. A great way to clean your jewellery is to use soap and water, with a soft toothbrush to gently scrub the piece. It’s also very important to not rub it too hard and to rinse and dry afterwards. If you are unsure of how to clean a piece that you own, it’s a good idea to get in touch with a professional cleaning service to make sure that your precious jewellery is not damaged.
Take Care when you wear
When the time comes to show off your amazing collection, it’s important to take care of them. Put your pieces on last after your clothing so they don’t catch on any hanging parts of clothing. Or for the ladies, put them on after makeup so that you don’t contaminate your necklace or rings. You should also take care with earrings when doing your hair or getting it cut because it could get caught on a come or brush. If you wear pearl earrings on an everyday basis, you should be extremely careful if you dye your hair, as it could stain them.
