Gemstone jewellery is an investment in beauty and elegance, but it requires proper care to maintain its brilliance and longevity. Follow these essential do’s and don’ts to keep your precious pieces in pristine condition.
Do’s:
-
Clean Regularly: Use a soft cloth and lukewarm water with mild soap to gently clean your jewellery. A soft brush can help remove dirt from intricate settings.
-
Store Properly: Keep your jewellery in a soft-lined box or a pouch to prevent scratches. Store each piece separately to avoid damage.
-
Wear with Care: Put on gemstone jewellery after applying makeup, perfume, and lotions to prevent chemical exposure.
-
Professional Checkups: Periodically take your jewellery to a professional jeweller for inspection, especially if it has prongs or intricate settings.
-
Use a Soft Cloth: Wipe gemstones after wearing them to remove any oil or dirt buildup.
Don’ts:
-
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Keep jewellery away from household cleaners, chlorine, and acidic substances, as they can cause damage or discoloration.
-
No Rough Handling: Avoid dropping or banging your jewellery against hard surfaces, as some gemstones are delicate and prone to chipping.
-
Say No to Ultrasonic Cleaners: Not all gemstones are safe for ultrasonic cleaning. Soft stones like opals, pearls, and emeralds can get damaged.
-
No Prolonged Sun Exposure: Some gemstones, like amethyst and topaz, may fade if exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods.
-
Don’t Wear During Activities: Remove your jewellery before swimming, exercising, or engaging in household chores to prevent accidental damage.
