Summer jewellery maintenance tips
The summer is on our doorsteps, so its vital that we make sure our jewellery is up to scratch in preparation for lots of evenings out,events and of course day to day wear! This blog post will outline some of the essential jewellery preservation and care tips for maintaining your favourite pieces.
Make sure you remove all of your jewellery before doing anything strenous – If you are exercising or engaging in strenous activity, then you might want to take off your bracelets or necklace to ensure you dont damage it in the process.
Salt water and chlorine for example can damage silver jewellery, so dont forget to remove these kinds of pieces if you go swimming at any point. The same goes for sweat, which can contain a high level of salt, so avoid wearing your jewellery for other exercises too. Simply store your jewellery somewhere safe – such as your purse or zipped pocket to keep it tarnish free.
Make sure you get your best jewellery pieces repaired before bringing them out for the summer again – If your favourite sdummery jewellery has been langusihing in your jewellery box for some time, it can get damaged or knocked around making it vulnerable to breaking. If you want to extend the life of these pieces, consider having the jewellery repaired to help prevent further damage later on.
Dont forget to give your jewellery items a good clean regularly – Not only will a thorough clean keep your jewellery looking beautiful all year round, the cleaning process can also prolong the life span of jewellery items. Oils from your skin can build up in the nook and crannies of your favourite jewellery items, so a wipe down with a damp cloth and a good buff with a polishing rag can do wonders for your jewellery.
Remember that with a little care and attention, your jewellery will be looking great all summer!
