5 ways to keep your Jewellery shining

Keeping your jewellery shining and radiant doesn’t have to be a difficult thing. With the right care and maintenance routine, you can ensure that your pieces of jewellery retain their beauty for years to come. In this article, I will explain some simple yet effective tips to keep your jewellery shining bright.

1. Clean Regularly

Regular cleaning is essential to prevent dirt, oils, and grime from dulling the appearance of your jewellery. Use a gentle jewellery cleaner or a mild soap diluted in warm water to clean your pieces.

Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners, as they can damage delicate gemstones and metals.

2. Use a Soft Cloth

After cleaning, gently pat your jewellery dry with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove any excess moisture and restore its shine. 

Avoid using rough or abrasive materials that could scratch the surface of your jewellery. A microfiber cloth is ideal for drying without causing damage.

3. Store Properly

Proper storage is crucial for preserving the beauty of your jewellery. Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or jewellery box to prevent scratching and tangling. 

Keep your jewellery away from direct sunlight and humidity, as exposure to these elements can cause them to fade.

4. Remove Before Activities

To prevent damage and discolouration, it’s essential to remove your jewellery before engaging in certain activities. Take off your jewellery before swimming, showering, exercising, or applying lotions and perfumes. 

Chemicals found in chlorine, saltwater, and skincare products can corrode metals and dull the shine of gemstones.

5. Schedule Professional Cleanings

While regular at-home cleanings are essential, scheduling professional cleanings with a jeweller is also beneficial. 

Jewellers have specialized equipment and techniques to deep clean and polish your jewellery, ensuring that it remains in good condition. 

By following these simple tips, you can keep your jewellery shining bright and looking beautiful for years to come. With proper care and maintenance, your jewellery will continue to dazzle and delight for generations.
