5 Tips On How To Care For Your Silver & Gold Jewellery

Avoid Using Chemicals

Wearing Jewellery can bolster your look for going out but, smelling good is equally important. However, when using perfumes, deodarants, lotions and santisers, apply them before wearing your item. This will help in preventing the metal to decolourise and dulling of any stones.

Correct Storage

Make sure to keep your items separately as opposed to in one box altogether. Use individual soft pouches or their own section of a jewellery box. This will stop any items rubbing together causing wear and any tangling's together.

Cleaning Silver Jewellery

Silver can easily tarnish and turn black due to a natural reaction with Oxygen and Suphur in the air. For cleaning your item, try a soak in lukewarm water with a dash of dish soap for around 10 minutes. Gently brush with a toothbrush, rinse and dry thoroughly.

Cleaning Gold Jewellery

For Gold jewellery, use the same soaking method for silver. However, you need to take extra care with plated items especially. Do not scrub too firmly or aggressively, this can cause stripping on the gold layers. Instead, try wiping gently with a soft cloth.

Remove During Activities

Whilst it's easy to forget, it's vital to remove your jewellery before activities where you're active and when you shower or bathe. Both salt water and chlorine can cause damage, as can sweat causing your items to decolourise. Removing your pieces can also prevent injury or damage should they catch on to anything.
