Gentle Cleaning
Maintaining the luster of your gold and silver pieces begins with regular cleaning. For gold pieces, a simple solution of warm water and mild soap is ideal. Soak your jewelry for a few minutes, gently scrubbing with a soft-bristled brush to remove any accumulated residue. Silver, on the other hand, may benefit from a silver-polishing cloth to restore its shine without causing damage.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Gold and silver are resilient metals, but exposure to harsh chemicals can tarnish and corrode them over time. Avoid contact with substances such as perfumes, lotions, and household cleaning agents, as these can accelerate the deterioration of your jewelry. Additionally, remove your pieces before swimming or engaging in activities that may expose them to chlorine or saltwater.
Proper Storage
When not adorning yourself with your favorite pieces, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using individual pouches or a jewelry box with soft, padded compartments to prevent scratches and tangling. For silver jewelry, including anti-tarnish strips in your storage space can help mitigate tarnishing.
Regular Inspections
Periodically inspect your jewelry for any signs of wear or damage. Check the settings and clasps to ensure they are secure. If you notice any loose stones or issues, promptly bring your jewelry to our expert craftsmen for professional inspection and maintenance.
