Every piece of jewellery you own has sentimental value and deserves to be cherished for years. To keep your treasures looking their best and to prevent issues like dullness, scratches, and tarnishing, it’s essential to take proper care of them. Here are some straightforward tips to help you maintain your jewellery in pristine condition.
Steer Clear Of Chemicals
Taking good care of your jewellery is crucial for its longevity. One important step is to avoid applying body lotions, cosmetics, oils, perfumes, and sprays directly onto your pieces, as these can damage the materials and dull their shine. It’s also wise to keep your jewellery away from household cleaning products, which often contain harsh chemicals that can be harmful. Additionally, refrain from wearing jewellery while swimming or using saunas and steam rooms, as moisture and heat can lead to further issues.
Avoid Direct Sunlight
Gemstones can easily lose their vibrant colour when subjected to too much sunlight. Therefore, it’s vital to give special attention to your gemstone collection by keeping them away from excessive sunlight to preserve their colour and brilliance.
Store Your Jewellery In An AJOSEPO Jewellery Bag
Avoid storing your jewellery in humid areas like bathrooms, which can lead to anti-tarnish and gold-plating wearing off. Instead, opt for a cool, dry place, and consider using high-quality jewellery bags, such as those from AJOSEPO. From personal experience, I can attest to their effectiveness; I stored my jewellery in them for over two weeks, and it remained in excellent condition.
Keep Jewellery Stored Separately
To avoid scratches, store your gold jewellery separately from your silver pieces. Gold can be particularly susceptible to scratches, so it’s best to keep each gold item in the individual AJOSEPO jewellery bag it came with, ensuring it maintains its polish and lustre.
Polish Your Jewellery Regularly
Taking the time to care for your pieces to minimise tarnish is essential. Regularly using a soft microfiber cloth like those from AJOSEPO can help keep your jewellery polished. If you can, aim to polish your items every day, but if time is tight, doing it every other day should still do the trick. This simple habit will help eliminate any dust, moisture, or oils that can lead to tarnishing over time.
