Jewellery Care and Handling

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Dear jewellery is a precious collection, a daily essential for all jewellery lovers. If you wish your gems, crystal, pearls, silver to remain sparkle and become the admiration and attraction among your friends and colleagues, do not fail to protect and cherish them. In order for the lovely piece to last, it is worth being properly taken care of. The following are some care & handling tips that we offer to you.

  • Remove your jewellery once you are at home.
  • Clean the jewellery with a dry cloth unless otherwise as advised on the care instruction stated by the jewellery seller.
  • Keep all your jewellery in an airtight container or zip lock bag if possible, else a closed jewellery box is advisable.
  • Never leave/store your jewellery in the bathroom especially silver jewellery as metals and some gems are afraid of damp.
  • It is necessary to keep your jewellery away from heat and sunlight as they may make your jewellery loses its original color.
  • No-Tarnish Strips – put no-tarnish strips in with your jewelleries and change the strips every two to three months.
  • Chalk – another substitute of no-tarnish strips is Chalk.  Put a few pieces of chalkboard chalk in with your jewellery. The chalk works similarly to the strips, absorbing the airborne substances that cause tarnish. Chalk should also be changed every couple of months.
  • Silver Tarnish Cloth – wrap your jewellery with Silver Tarnish Cloth, also known as Pacific Cloth, which is available at any fabric stores.  It also works well too if you cut pieces of it to fit inside the drawers or compartment of your jewellery box.
  • Quick Wipedown – give each piece of jewellery a quick wipe with a Sunshine cloth or other jewelry cleaning/polishing cloth after wearing it. This will help remove dirt/things that settled on the surface of your jewellery while it was out of its closed storage, and this will help prevent tarnish from forming.

Beautifying the neckline is a task performed by a sleek and attractive looking necklace. If you have to please a woman, you must think of gifting her a necklace, as this accessory pleases her the most.

If you are a lucky woman who owns many fashion necklaces but lacks the knowledge as to how to care for them, we have certain points and tips that will help you be enlightened about the right methods to care for you necklace. Take a look:

•Necklaces of gold: Though, it is proven that fashion necklaces made if gold do not tarnish easily but still it is advised to keep good care of them. If you wear these necklaces in daily wear, the shine of these necklaces gets affected by the hand creams, suntan lotions, soap, and perspiration. Whenever the gold necklaces are not in use they should be kept in safe original boxes wrapped in a soft cloth. Also, make sure that they saved alone as storing them with other material of necklaces can make them scratched and tangled. Clean your gold necklaces with a soft cloth.

•Sterling necklaces: Silver sterling necklaces are also known as designer necklaces. These necklaces are affected by the body secretions so need extra care. When it is time to clean them, use a soft cloth that will help the dirt and dust to fade away and will keep your fashion necklaces shining like forever.

Once you rinse and clean the sterling necklaces, you can store them zip lock air-tight bag to avoid its contact with air. If your necklaces are heavy hand them over to a professional cleaner rather than performing the task on your own.
