To keep the beautiful luster and sparkle of your favorite jewelry pieces, follow these few simple jewelry care tips to make sure your precious gems and jewels stay just like new!

In order to keep your jewelry looking its best, there are some simple steps to consider when you wear jewelry and go about living your daily life.  Make sure to remove your jewelry when performing manual tasks such as cleaning, cooking, gardening, or other common tasks. Not wearing your precious jewels when doing these tasks prevents any physical damage or exposure to chemicals or cleaning fluids.

Another thing to consider is while applying any makeup; make sure to remove jewelry because cosmetics, hairsprays, perfumes, and lotions often cause a lot of damage to jewelry. Do not wear jewelry in swimming pools or spas because the chlorinated water can react with some metals and cause color changes and even structural damage. Also, before taking a bath or showering, remove your jewelry since soap can cause a film to form which can create a dingy and dull look to your accessories.

Normally when people want to clean something, they use a type of soap or cleaning product. Do not do this on your jewelry! To properly clean your jewelry, first you’ll want to use a polishing cloth specifically for gold or silver. Using a regular tissue or paper towel can cause scratches from the fibers in these items. If the polishing cloth does not bring the shine back to your treasures, you can use a commercial cleaner from your local jeweler or make your own solution at home. You can use rubbing alcohol but avoid bleach at all costs! Bleach will most definitely destroy your gorgeous jewelry.

While storing your jewelry, keep everything in a safe container where your jewelry will not move around. A fabric-lined container would be the best option to keep everything safe and secure.
