THE JEWELLERY CARE GUIDE
A woman’s jewellery box reflects her personality and carries within the creations she will treasure forever.
But, now more than ever, it’s important that the contents of one’s jewellery box are carefully preserved and kept away from germs and hindrances that may damage them.
Here are a few simple, at-home tips to keep germs away from your precious jewels.
CLEAN JEWELLERY AT HOME WITH EASE
Wearing your jewellery while washing your hands may damage them. They may lose their lustre and it’s important that you wash the germs underneath them as well.
Jewels with softer stones like pearls, amber, turquoise, coral, moonstone, calcite, opal, kunzite, tourmaline, and emerald can lose their lustre if cleaned with water. So, use a soft cloth and gently clean the surface to preserve its beauty and keep it clean.
Clean your jewels with warm water and dish solution to retain their shine and keep them germ-free. As a best practice, do this once every week.
Sanitizers can be used only to clean hard gemstones or solid golds.
Silver jewels have a soft lustre, and so they can get tarnished easily. Clean them using a mix of lemon juice and a little water.
Another easy way you can polish them, is by adding toothpaste to your jewels and wiping it off with cotton.
Your Kundan Polki and Open Polki jewellery are delicate, and they must be kept away from moisture or water. Clean them only using a soft cloth and gently wipe its surface to keep it dazzling!
Your precious jewels must be stored separately for their shine to last longer. Keep them in an airtight box, or in a zip-lock bag to keep them clean and away from germs!
Gemstones are precious and may get damaged if they encounter direct sunlight or heat. Keep them away from direct exposure as much as possible.
Perfumes can cause considerable damage to your jewels. Make sure that your jewels aren’t exposed to it.
The surface of the pearls you wear can easily get scratched if not cleaned with care. So, clean them using a soft cloth to keep them germ and scratch free!
