How to Take Care of Your Jewellery – Tips for Long-Lasting Sparkle

If you’re like most people, your jewellery is a part of your everyday look - whether it's a stunning ring you never take off, a delicate necklace that adds the perfect touch, or a bracelet that gets constant compliments. But let’s be real: life gets busy, and sometimes, your precious pieces might not get the TLC they deserve. That’s where we come in! Here are some super simple yet effective tips to keep your jewellery shining bright and looking brand new, even with your hectic schedule.

Easy Tips for Keeping Your Jewellery Sparkling:

• Keep it Clean, but Gently:
  Dust, lotions, oils, and even makeup can dull the sparkle of your favourite pieces. To clean them, use a soft cloth and mild soap with lukewarm water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can scratch or damage your jewellery over time. A little regular TLC goes a long way!

• Take Off Jewellery Before Heavy Workouts:
  We know it’s tempting to leave your favourite ring or bracelet on, but sweat and friction can take a toll on your pieces—especially if they’re made of softer metals or have delicate settings. Remove them before hitting the gym, or while doing any strenuous activity.

• Store It Right:
  When you’re not wearing your jewellery, give it a safe home. Keep pieces in separate pouches or boxes to prevent scratching or tangling. This is especially important for delicate chains or multi-stone rings that can get scratched up easily when mixed with other jewellery.

• Avoid Exposure to Harsh Chemicals:
  Chemicals in cleaning products, perfumes, and even some beauty products can damage your jewellery’s finish over time. Spray perfume and hair products before putting on your jewellery, and avoid wearing it when cleaning or using harsh chemicals.

• Regular Check-Ups:
  Busy professionals, we get it—your schedule is packed. But, try to take a moment every few months to check the settings, clasps, and stones of your jewellery. A loose stone or weak clasp can go unnoticed, and a little maintenance now can save you from a bigger repair later.

• Get It Professionally Cleaned:
  Once or twice a year, give your jewellery a professional cleaning and inspection. It’s like a spa day for your precious pieces! Most jewellers offer cleaning services that will make your jewellery look like new, and they’ll also check for any wear and tear that could cause issues down the road.

Bonus Tip for Busy Professionals:
If you wear jewellery every day, like a signature necklace or watch, consider having a “work set” that’s sturdy and low-maintenance. For more delicate pieces, save them for nights out or special occasions to preserve their brilliance.

Taking care of your jewellery doesn’t have to be a time-consuming task—it’s about those small, thoughtful steps that keep your jewellery looking beautiful and lasting for years to come. With a bit of effort, your favourite pieces will continue to shine just as brightly as you do, even during your busiest days. ✨
