A piece of jewelry is much more than a valuable object: it’s a keepsake, a meaningful gift, or an heirloom with a history. Therefore, it’s important to know how to care for jewelry so it retains its beauty and value over time.
In this article, we share some essential tips for maintaining your jewelry, especially if it’s made of gold, diamonds, or other precious stones.
- Regular and Gentle Cleaning
Jewelry accumulates dust, makeup residue, and other particles. To clean it at home, you can use warm water, a little mild soap, and a soft brush. Avoid abrasive products or scouring pads that can scratch the surface.
- Store Properly
Store each piece of jewelry separately to avoid scratches. Individually lined cases or soft cloth bags are ideal. If you have multiple pieces, prevent them from rubbing against each other.
- Avoid exposure to chemicals
Perfumes, creams, sprays, and even pool water can affect the shine of your jewelry. It’s best to put it on last, when you’re ready, and remove it before sleeping or exercising.
- Regular checkups with professionals
Even if you maintain your jewelry properly at home, it’s recommended to have your jewelry checked at least once a year. At WESSELTON, our team of experts can check the condition of settings, reseal jump rings, or polish surfaces to restore their original shine.
Caring for a piece of jewelry is caring for a story. If you follow these tips on how to care for jewelry, you’ll be able to enjoy it for a lifetime and even pass it on with the same beauty as when it arrived.
