At nearme.lt, we understand that your jewellery pieces are not just accessories but precious treasures that hold sentimental value. To help you keep your jewellery looking its best, we have prepared a comprehensive care and cleaning guide. By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your jewellery maintains its brilliance and luster for years to come.
- Store your jewellery properly:
- Keep your jewellery in a clean, dry, and separate compartment to prevent scratching or tangling.
- Store each piece in a soft pouch or jewellery box with individual compartments to avoid contact with other items.
- Avoid exposure to chemicals:
- Remove your jewellery before engaging in activities such as swimming, cleaning, or using beauty products like lotions, perfumes, or hairsprays.
- Chemicals can damage gemstones, tarnish metals, and weaken the settings of your jewellery.
- Clean your jewellery regularly:
- Gently wipe your jewellery with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear to remove any oils, dirt, or residue.
- Use a mild solution of warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap to clean your jewellery. Soak the piece for a few minutes, then gently scrub with a soft brush or toothbrush to reach into crevices.
- Rinse your jewellery under warm water to remove any soap residue and pat dry with a clean cloth.
- Gemstone-specific care:
- Diamonds: Soak in a mixture of warm water and mild dish soap, gently scrub with a soft brush, and rinse thoroughly.
- Pearls: Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging in water or using any harsh cleaners.
- Gemstones (excluding pearls): Follow the specific cleaning instructions for the type of gemstone you have, as different gemstones may require different care.
- Professional maintenance:
- Regularly have your jewellery inspected by a professional jeweller to check for loose stones, worn prongs, or any other issues that may require repair.
- Consider having your jewellery professionally cleaned and polished once a year to restore its brilliance.
- Be cautious during physical activities:
- Remove your jewellery before engaging in activities such as sports, exercising, or manual labor to prevent accidental damage or loss.
Remember, proper care and cleaning will help preserve the beauty and longevity of your jewellery. If you have any specific questions or concerns about caring for your jewellery, please feel free to contact us.
