Here are just a few things to help you keep your gems and Jewellery clean.
The best way is to keep your Jewellery 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 Jewellery from the following things.
It takes just a few steps to restore your Jewellery's lost luster and it's a satisfactory experience.
Here are a few simple methods that will help you clean your Jewellery effectively and safely.
You need
A clean bowl, Lukewarm Water, Mild dishwashing liquid or Jewellery cleaning solution, Fine mesh plastic or stainless steel strainer especially for small pieces, Very soft, clean, dry cloth, Soft bristled brush, Toothpick
Commercial cleaner
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 Jewellery. Check the shelf-life or expiration date.
Preparation
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.
Cleaning
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.
Dry
Thoroughly dry the Jewellery with the soft cloth, place the Jewellery over a towel for sometime and then store.
Check that the entire dirt has been removed. If not repeat the procedure.
We at The Jewellery Channel value your precious possessions!! Keep it as sparkling as never before!!
Lotions and Potions
Lotions and certain liquids that we use daily to groom ourselves may be harmful for Jewellery (for example hairspray, mousse, body lotion, moisturizer, perfumes, etc.). A dull film is formed which is difficult to remove. To prevent this, remove your Jewellery before bathing and grooming and see the difference!
Household chores
Take off your Jewellery before you clean your kitchen, assemble a bike or do some gardening! Household cleaners are abrasive and harsh on this delicate Jewellery. Don't put them on while working with power tools.
Bleach
Chlorine bleach can destroy your Jewellery, especially silver. It gets oxidized. Only a professional jeweler can help you restore the piece.
Water
Thoroughly dry your Jewellery 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 Jewellery. Extreme heat might damage pearls and cement on the custom Jewellery. Rise in temperature might cause thermal shock thus fracturing the stones.
Storage
Give space to every piece of Jewellery. Metals cause scratches on the Jewellery 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 Jewellery before storage or else you might damage it.
