Jewellery Care and Handling

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Dear jewellery is a precious collection, a daily essential for all jewellery lovers. If you wish your gems, crystal, pearls, silver to remain sparkle and become the admiration and attraction among your friends and colleagues, do not fail to protect and cherish them. In order for the lovely piece to last, it is worth being properly taken care of. The following are some care & handling tips that we offer to you.

  • Remove your jewellery once you are at home.
  • Clean the jewellery with a dry cloth unless otherwise as advised on the care instruction stated by the jewellery seller.
  • Keep all your jewellery in an airtight container or zip lock bag if possible, else a closed jewellery box is advisable.
  • Never leave/store your jewellery in the bathroom especially silver jewellery as metals and some gems are afraid of damp.
  • It is necessary to keep your jewellery away from heat and sunlight as they may make your jewellery loses its original color.
  • No-Tarnish Strips – put no-tarnish strips in with your jewelleries and change the strips every two to three months.
  • Chalk – another substitute of no-tarnish strips is Chalk.  Put a few pieces of chalkboard chalk in with your jewellery. The chalk works similarly to the strips, absorbing the airborne substances that cause tarnish. Chalk should also be changed every couple of months.
  • Silver Tarnish Cloth – wrap your jewellery with Silver Tarnish Cloth, also known as Pacific Cloth, which is available at any fabric stores.  It also works well too if you cut pieces of it to fit inside the drawers or compartment of your jewellery box.
  • Quick Wipedown – give each piece of jewellery a quick wipe with a Sunshine cloth or other jewelry cleaning/polishing cloth after wearing it. This will help remove dirt/things that settled on the surface of your jewellery while it was out of its closed storage, and this will help prevent tarnish from forming.
