Jewelry is worn by millions of men and women every day, but very few people recognize how to properly care for their precious jewelry. By being cautious, your quality jewelry should last a very long time. Here are some important tips and tricks to keep your jewelry looking ‘like new’ for years to come.
#1 Make jewelry your final item(s) you put on, and your first item(s) you take off when dressing. This helps to avoid snagging and catching on clothing.
#2 Remove jewelry before exercising and other strenuous activities. If a piece of jewelry experiences even a small amount of force, it is subject to damage. In addition, sweat and body oils diminish brilliance and shine.
#3 Keep your jewelry away from perfume, lotion, and hairspray. Chemicals in these products can interact with jewelry and cause oxidation or discoloration. We recommend applying these products and letting them dry/set.
#4 Remove jewelry before swimming or showering. Chlorine can damage jewelry, and soaps/shampoos will create a residue on jewelry. In addition, jewelry can get tangled/snagged in wet hair.
#5 Remove jewelry before using household cleaning products. These cleaning products can strip jewelry of their natural luster and finishes, and even loosen gemstones and cause them to fall out of settings.
#6 Avoid storing diamonds close together. Diamonds can scratch other diamonds. We recommend a ring holder or other safe jewelry storage area.
#7 Bring your jewelry in for a professional check + clean every 6 months. Doing this regularly keeps your jewelry looking brand new, and can help address potential concerns before they become larger repair needs. Jewelry does not have to be purchased from us for a complimentary check + clean!
A little bit of jewelry care can do wonders for the lifespan of your jewelry.
