Additional Jewelry Care Tips
While soaking in soapy water is a fantastic cleaning method, proper care and maintenance can prolong the life and beauty of your jewelry. Here are some tips to keep your pieces looking their best:
1. Regular Cleaning
- Establish a Routine: Clean your jewelry regularly, especially if you wear it daily. This prevents buildup and keeps it looking fresh.
2. Store Properly
- Use a Jewelry Box: Store jewelry in a soft-lined box or pouches to avoid scratches and tangles.
- Separate Pieces: Keep different types of jewelry separate, as metals can scratch each other.
3. Avoid Chemicals
- Remove Before Activities: Take off your jewelry before swimming, exercising, or applying lotions and perfumes to prevent damage.
4. Professional Cleaning
- Periodic Check-Ups: Consider having your jewelry professionally cleaned and inspected every couple of years, especially for valuable pieces.
