A SIMPLE GUIDE TO MAKING YOUR JEWELLERY LAST
Jewellery frequently serves as an investment and holds significant sentimental value for many individuals. Thus, it is essential to maintain your jewellery as good as new to ensure it remains in excellent condition for the longest time possible. Whether you need to clean a diamond engagement ring, a beloved pearl necklace, or a gold bracelet, follow our guide to caring for your jewellery confidently.
Remove your jewellery:
Remove your jewellery before any activity that might cause any damage to the piece such as athletic activities, going to the beach, and more. If you are in doubt, removing it is the easiest option. Better safe than sorry!
Avoid sleeping with your jewellery:
Take it off before you go to bed. By sleeping with your jewellery, you may tangle them or even break them with a sudden move.
- Keep your pieces separate!
- Avoid humidity.
Avoid contact with chemicals:
Keep it away from any chemicals, especially chlorine. One great tip is to rinse them with water if it comes into contact with chemical substances.
- Put on your pieces after your skincare or perfume.
Avoid showering with them:
Shower without your jewellery on. Organic gemstones like pearls and opals are particularly vulnerable to acids, even perspiration.
Store everything separately:
Ideally in a soft-lined case, so that your pieces do not tangle and do not scratch one another. Pearls in particular should be kept separately as hard gemstones easily scratch them. To minimise tangling, ensure that chains and necklaces are attached while stored.
- Hang your necklaces!
Remove jewellery while doing chores:
Remove jewellery while cooking, cleaning, and washing up. To minimise tangling, ensure that chains and necklaces are attached while stored. Remove your jewellery when preparing food, cleaning, or tidying up.
Avoid sun:
Keep jewellery away from direct sunshine, extreme heat, and moist situations.
Clean Your Jewellery Regularly:
Keeping your jewellery clean is essential to maintain its sparkle. However, using the wrong cleaning methods can do more harm than good.
DIY Cleaning Tips:
Gold and Silver: Use a mild soap with warm water to gently clean your jewellery. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Avoid Abrasive Materials: Stay away from toothbrushes or harsh cloths that can scratch your jewellery.
Pearls and Porous Stones: Use a damp cloth to wipe pearls and other porous stones. Avoid soaking them in water.
Helia Luxe Tip:
For a deeper clean, consider taking your jewellery to a professional jeweller for ultrasonic cleaning.
