How do I maintain my jewelry?Proper Jewelry Storage: When you're not wearing your jewelry, store it in a clean, dry place, and avoid keeping it in the bathroom. Silver items can be best preserved by placing them in a ziplock bag to prevent tarnishing. Keep Away from Moisture: Moisture can tarnish metals and damage gemstones. Remove your jewelry before swimming, showering, or using beauty products, as substances like lotions and perfumes can affect the luster of gemstones. Regular Cleaning: Routine cleaning helps maintain your jewelry's sparkle. For most metals and gems, a soft cloth is ideal. For more substantial cleaning, use warm, soapy water, and a soft brush (like a toothbrush). Professional Cleaning and Inspection: Periodically, take your jewelry to a professional jeweler for a thorough cleaning and inspection. They can check for loose stones or worn settings, ensuring your jewelry remains in optimal condition. Protect from Scratches: Precious metals like gold and platinum are susceptible to scratches. When storing or wearing your jewelry, try to avoid contact with abrasive surfaces. Regular Wear: Surprisingly, the natural oils from your skin help keep your jewelry looking beautiful. Regular wear can prevent tarnish on metals. Avoid Wearing During Physical Activities: Remove your jewelry when engaging in physical activities or chores. Professional Repair: If you notice any damage or issues with your jewelry, avoid attempting repairs on your own. Seek out a professional jeweler to address the problem. By following these guidelines, you can help ensure that your jewelry remains beautiful. If you have specific questions about caring for a particular piece of jewelry, don't hesitate to reach out.
