Jewellery care tips by Ms. Jagrati Shringi, CMO & Co-Founder, Voylla.com
– Apply lotion, cosmetics, hairspray and perfume before dressing in jewelry. application of perfume after wearing perfume would fade the plating or effect the simulated stones or pearls.
– When undressing, wipe each piece with a clean soft cloth to remove oils and perspiration.
– Store in a fabric-lined box, separately or individually-wrapped in tissue to prevent scratches.
Tips for Cleaning:
– Clean in a secure location, not the rim of a sink where a piece or the jewellery finding may slip down the drain.
– Use only a soft brush, never sharp or hard objects, to remove dirt or particles.
– Clean your jewelry often; lotions, soaps and skin oils alter the optical properties of metal and stones, causing them to look dull.
– Seriously soiled jewelry should be cleaned professionally.
– Never expose pearl jewelry or coated beads and jewelry to chemicals or solvents and store each piece in a soft bag.
Tips for Long Life:
– Have your jewelry cleaned and checked by a professional for worn mountings, loose prongs and general condition at least once per year.
– Have yellow/ white/ rose gold re-plated, prongs re-tipped as necessary to maintain original condition (generally every 24 months or so).
– Have frequently-worn pearls restrung as necessary, with a knot between each pearl to prevent loss if the string breaks.
– Some simulated colored gemstones should not be exposed to sudden temperature changes; know your pieces and their needs.
– Select daily-wear jewelry that is in harmony with your lifestyle and schedule of activities.
– Treat each piece as if it were a family heirloom, for someday it may be.
