Precious metal care
When it comes to caring for your precious metal jewellery, proper maintenance is key to preserving its beauty and longevity. Whether you own a stunning sterling silver necklace or a luxurious gold ring, following these guidelines will ensure that your jewellery remains in pristine condition for years to come.
1. Store Your Jewellery Properly
When you're not wearing your precious metal jewellery, it's important to store it properly to prevent scratches and damage. Keep your pieces in a soft cloth or a separate compartment in a jewellery box to avoid tangling and scratching. Avoid storing different types of metal jewellery together, as they can cause chemical reactions that may tarnish or damage the pieces.
2. Clean Your Jewellery Regularly
To maintain the shine and brilliance of your precious metal jewellery, regular cleaning is essential. Use a mild soap or jewellery cleaner specifically designed for the metal type. Gently scrub the jewellery with a soft brush or cloth, paying attention to hard-to-reach areas. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean, lint-free cloth to prevent water spots or residue.
3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals and Substances
Precious metal jewellery is susceptible to damage from harsh chemicals and substances. Avoid wearing your jewellery while swimming in chlorinated pools or hot tubs, as chlorine can cause discoloration and corrosion. Remove your jewellery before applying lotions, perfumes, or hairsprays, as these products can tarnish or dull the metal.
4. Protect Your Jewellery from Physical Damage
While precious metal jewellery is durable, it can still be susceptible to physical damage. Avoid wearing your jewellery during activities that may expose it to excessive force or impact, such as sports or heavy lifting. Remove your jewellery before engaging in household chores or any activities that may cause it to come into contact with abrasive surfaces.
