Here are just a few things to help you keep your gems and jewelry clean.

The best way is to keep your jewelry from harm!
But it is actually impossible to keep it away from the hustle bustle of life. Just make sure you limit the exposure of jewelry from the following things.

  Lotions and Potions

Lotions and certain liquids that we use daily to groom ourselves may be harmful for jewelry. For example hairspray, mousse, body lotion, moisturizer, perfumes, etc. A dull film is formed which is difficult to remove. To prevent this, remove your jewelry before bathing and grooming and see the difference!

  Household chores

Take off your jewelry before you clean your kitchen, assemble a bike or do some gardening! Household cleaners are abrasive and harsh on this delicate jewelry. Don't put them on while working with power tools.

  Bleach

Chlorine bleach can destroy your jewelry, especially silver. It gets oxidized. Only a professional jeweler can help you restore the piece.

  Water

Thoroughly dry your jewelry after exposing it to water and then store it in an enclosed place. Moisture tarnishes silver and weakens clasps and springs.

  Temperature

Extreme climatic conditions harm the jewelry. Extreme heat might damage pearls and cement on the custom jewelry. Rise in temperature might cause thermal shock thus fracturing the stones.

  Storage

Give space to every piece of jewelry. Metals cause scratches on the jewelry and destroys its luster thus store it in an individual compartment.
For bracelets and necklaces fasten the clasps to avoid any tangling.
Most important of all, dry your jewelry before storage or else you might damage it.

It takes just a few steps to restore your jewelry's lost luster and it's a satisfactory experience. Here are a few simple methods that will help you clean your jewelry effectively and safely.
