We
want you to be assured that you are purchasing
a piece of top quality jewelry from Vaibhavgems.com.
That's why our in-house Quality Assurance
department uses the strictest standards
to test all our jewelry.
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 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!
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.
Chlorine bleach can destroy your jewelry,
especially silver. It gets oxidized. Only
a professional jeweler can help you restore
the piece.
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.
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.
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.
A clean
bowl ,Lukewarm Water ,Mild dishwashing liquid
or jewelry cleaning solution ,Fine mesh
plastic or stainless steel strainer especially
for small pieces,Very soft, clean, dry cloth
,Soft bristled brush, Toothpick.
If using
a commercial cleaner make sure you follow
the directions for the particular product.
The freshness of the cleaner must be checked,
by storing it in a tightly sealed container.
Stale, contaminated cleaner damages the
jewelry. Check the shelf-life or expiration
date.
Check
the settings and see that the stones are
secure. Dirt and residue might hide the
loose settings. So better check properly.
Plug the drain.
Pour
the mild solution in a clean bowl. Make
you own solution by mixing one quarter of
lukewarm water with 2 tablespoons of mild
detergent or dishwashing liquid. Place the
gemstones in a strainer and dip them in
the bowl so that the liquid surrounds them.
Soak for 10 -20 minutes till the dirt is
loosened. Gently use a soft brush and remove
the residue and use a toothpick for the
crevices. Now rinse with clean water.
Thoroughly
dry the jewelry with the soft cloth, place
the jewelry over a towel for sometime and
then store. Check that the entire dirt has
been removed. If not repeat the procedure.
