Don’t
ever wear jewelry while you’re swimming. Strong chemicals at the swimming pool –such
as chlorine- can damage jewelry; it can make your jewelry items less glossy and
durable. Salt water can also harm your jewelry. Therefore, it’s suggested to take
away all jewelry before joining any water activities to keep and expand the time
of your jewelry.
Your
jewelry items need proper care. Smoothly clean every jewelry item with a damp
cloth. Then pat the piece with a soft fabric to dry the piece sufficiently. Do
not ever wash your jewelry with any chemicals that possibly will harm the
stones or damage the settings.
If
you want to clean your own jewels, don’t forget to always close sink drains
before you start. It is very simple to drop your grab on a foamy jewelry item. Closing
the drain will avoid your jewelry from out of the drain pipes.
Never
use strong chemicals -like ammonia, bleach, turpentine or acetone- to clean jewelry.
Strong chemicals may damage your jewelry, may cause dulling of gemstones, and
may corrode enamel work.
Don’t
expose your jewelry into open air or humidity. It’s better to keep jewelry in a
closed jewelry box or a small draw string bag. Humidity and air can cause
precious and non-precious metals to blemish. Valuable metal jewelry can be
polished to repair tarnish, but non-precious metals coated with a finish will
never recover to their earlier condition.
