5 Essential Tips to Care for Your Precious Jewelry

Every piece of jewelry we possess has a sentimental value, irrespective of whether it’s a recent purchase or a family heirloom. If not properly cared for these timeless pieces can start to show signs of ‘being worn out’. Gold and other metals tend to tarnish over time. Sweat and dust often cause some gemstones to lose their dazzle. A cleaning routine can extend the life of your precious jewels and help retain their natural luster for a long time.

Here are a few tips to help you clean and care for your treasured jewelry pieces:

Keep your gold glittering

Gold is a soft metal and is, therefore, prone to dents and scratches. It is advisable to wear gold ornaments after completing your makeup or skincare routine. You can also soak your gold in lukewarm water to remove any dirt buildup. The best way to preserve its luster is to store your gold jewelry in a proper box and cover it with a soft cloth.

Forever dazzling diamonds

Diamonds are said to be a woman’s best friend and thus, must be cared for the most. You can maintain the brilliance of your diamond jewelry by dedicating some time to it  every week to rub each piece against a flannel or chamois cloth. It is more than advisable to do so after every use too. Moreover, getting your diamonds professionally cleaned once in six months will keep them sparkling forever.

White gold protection

Your ring isn't actually "white gold," despite its color. To give it the impression of being white, jewelers employ rhodium and other metals. Thus, the yellow tinge of the gold begins to show after approximately a year of normal wear and use. Coating a thin layer of rhodium over the gold is an easy fix for this issue.

Perpetually Pretty Pearls

Wipe your pearls with a damp cloth to remove traces of perspiration or perfume. Make sure to keep them away from any other metals or diamonds, to protect them from scratches. Storing them in a chamois leather pouch or silk cloth will keep them hydrated and safe.

Always pleasing platinum

You can either make a solution of mild soap and warm water or buy a cleaner designed specifically for gold and platinum jewelry. Use any to clean the pieces gently then rinse and dry with a clean, soft cloth. It is advisable to store each of your platinum jewels separately, in a cloth pouch, to avoid scratches.
