The jewellery care mantra to be followed daily is to “let your
jewellery be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off”.

Here are a few tips on jewellery material care to help you take care of your prized possessions.

Demi-fine plated jewellery can be damaged by chemicals in hairspray, perfumes, hand sanitisers, and lotions. Always make sure to apply these first and allow them to dry before
putting on your jewellery, as the alcohol, moisture, and chemicals in these can
lead to colour loss.

And remember to remove your jewellery before gardening, strenuous workouts and all water-related activities like bathing and water sports as most metals and natural pearls react with chlorine, moisture, and perspiration.

At the end of the day, wipe your jewellery clean with a soft cloth. Regular wipe-down using a jewellery polishing cloth prevents dirt build-up, removes light tarnish, and inhibits re-tarnishing, prolonging the original shine and sparkle of your jewellery.

If you want to clean your rhodium- or gold-plated jewellery and remove accumulated dirt, follow these steps: first, soak the jewellery in lukewarm clean water mixed with a small amount of PH neutral soap. Make sure to rinse it thoroughly to eliminate any mineral residue, and then gently wipe it dry using a soft cloth. To prevent scratches it’s also important to store jewellery separately and safely, preferably in its original box or in a jewellery box with separate compartments when not in use. Jewellery organisers also make finding your favoured pieces easy.
