Do you know the feeling of adding jewellery to your outfit? It is an amazing feeling, isn’t it especially if you are the jewellery type. We may never understand why jewellery has a way of boosting our overall appearance but we understand its usefulness and relevance.
On the ears, the neck, wrist and elsewhere, jewellery does wonders to complete and complement our dressing. Some people may claim they are not the jewellery type but we know that it changes one’s outlook completely. The lesser, the better- jewellery are indeed classic fashion pieces. Here are tips on how to care for these fashion accessories:
- ake your jewellery off if you’re involved in any activity which could scratch, knock or damage it. If in any doubt, take it off and keep it safe.
- Take it off when you go to bed.
- Keep it well away from chemicals, especially chlorine. If it does come into contact with chemicals, rinse it in water immediately.
- Bathe and apply any lotions or perfumes before you put your jewellery on. Organic gemstones like pearls and opals are particularly vulnerable to acids, even perspiration.
- Store it separately, ideally in a soft-lined box or case, so that your favourite pieces don’t tangle, rub or scratch one another. Pearls in particular should be kept separately as they are easily scratched by hard gemstones.
- Make sure chains and necklaces are fastened when storing to avoid tangling.
- Remove jewellery while cooking and cleaning.
- When storing jewellery, please keep it away from sunlight, excessive heat or damp conditions.
