How to Care for Everyday Jewelry: Jewel Hacks

“If you preserve your possessions, it will give you endless pleasure for years to come.”
Jewelry is a lifetime preserving possession and those jewel chunks which demand most care are probably the ones which are adorned daily. It does not mean they are less precious in any sense but they are more exposed to external environment and so are more prone to get damaged or lose its original spark if not taken proper care. Since designer diamond jewelry is not purchased every day, they are not only a precious but a priceless purchase of your closet.

As a foremost step, you must have a habit of getting your jewelry professionally cleaned by jewelers. This will not get it only thoroughly cleaned but will refresh its gleaming look. Here is a guide from experts to keep your bijouterie neat and tidy:

     Never Say No to Jewelry Box

Jewelry box is in the top priority list when it comes to jewelry care. It is essential since you own precious jewelry. Get yourself a charming jewelry box according to the number of chunks you own and the kind of setting possessed by the box to accommodate each of them very well. A lot of fabulous designs are available in the market as well as online so you can easily shop the one you like.

The way you keep your jewelry matters a lot. Also, the kind of box you choose makes a great difference. If you have noticed, our grandmothers used to keep their jewelry in wooden box, as they are capable of storing them well, instead of plastic box. Think twice before you choose.

    Store Jewelry Separately

If you have a diamond ring and a silver ring and if you are storing them together then you are making a big mistake. It is really a bad idea to keep gold and silver jewelry together. Even if you own a jewelry box, you should store similar pieces together. This way you can preserve every metal in its original form.

If your jewelry has more of diamond and gem embellishments, they are supposed to be wrapped in cotton, this will never let the shimmer fade.

          Care while you Wear

“Jewelry should be the last thing to put on when you leave the house and first thing to take off while you return” is well said. Care must be taken so that you don’t wear your diamond earrings for women while you put on make-up or use hairspray. Before you put it on, make sure everything has dried.

Remove your earrings while getting your hair styled so that they don’t get tangled in comb or brushes as well as don’t wear your diamond pendant necklace for its clip might get stuck in your hair.

        Don’t let it get Contaminated

Discoloration and Tarnishing is caused when your jewelry comes in contact with water or any other chemicals and these can be soap, cosmetics, skin oils, perfumes, etc. They ultimately cause bijouterie get dull. Take extra care when you are wearing gems and pearls, slight carelessness might cause the original thread work or setting get disturbed. Avoid getting them wet.

In case they come in contact with water, immediately wipe off with tissue or soft cloth, just pat them gently. Don’t use any chemicals without expert advice.

          Clean it Gently

You don’t need any special tools when you are cleaning your jewelry at home. Just take a toothbrush and rub it gently over areas where you feel dirt and oil got assembled. Before you do this, check if the jewel piece is fragile and if it is eligible to be cleaned by you. If it isn’t, don’t do it by yourself. For instance, a designer diamond pendant with filigree design requires a professional care to get cleaned.

          Demand for Certificate

While you think of handing over your jewelry to professionals, make sure to get valuation certificate of your jewelry which consists of every minor details regarding your chunk so you can check it out for match when you get it in return. Valuation is must when you own real diamond jewelry, vintage, heritage or antique jewelry.

         Look for Professionals

Rather than experimenting cleaning by you, better take it to professionals. Every trinket requires a yearly checkup of scratches, blemishes, dullness and delicacy. Transform your treasured jewelry into a piece of glory.
