Jewellery Maintenance

Hey there!

I just wanted to let you know that I received your request to post my jewelry maintenance tips on my blog, and I'm happy to oblige.

Thanks for reaching out😊💕

 

Necklace

• Fill 2 small bowls with warm water

• Add 2 - 3 drops of mild dish soap to the 1st bowl

• Dip the corner of a soft cloth into the water + soap mixture

• Rub the cloth along the jewellery • Using a soft-bristle toothbrush, rub any excess grime away

• Dip the stainless steel jewellery item into the 2nd bowl to rinse it

• Use a dry cloth to wipe away any excess water • for a nice finish use a jewellery polishing cloth, polish the jewellery item

• or you chould use a stainless steel Jewellery cleaner

 

 

Stainless Steel Earrings and charms

• The simplest way to clean your stainless steel is with a bit of soap and water when it's dull and dirty.

This helps clean off any pollutants and grime on your jewellery.

• Remember to please use a mild liquid soup and warm water or a stainless steel jewellery cleaner

 

 

Crystals

• How do you look after crystal Jewellery?

• A soft, lint-free cloth is perfect for this task. Polish each crystal with a dry cloth, using a gentle circular action.

If your crystal jewellery has stubborn marks that won't shift, it might need a deeper cleaning. This can be done with a soft-bristle toothbrush and some soapy water

 

• What causes damage to crystals?

• Constant light and heat exposure - Prolonged exposure to light and heat can damage organic gems such as amber, coral, jet, and pearls.

• Light and heat can also cause the colors of amethyst, citrine, colored agates, and topaz gemstones to fade

 

 

Wood epoxidharz/resin Jewellery

• Always store wood jewelry in an air-tight bag to avoid dust and moisture.

• You can risk damage to your wood jewelry with long exposure to water and sun.

• Use a non-abrasive microfiber cloth to wipe down the surface of your wood jewellery weekly to avoid dust and dirt buildup.

• You can use a polishing cloth with a natural wax for wood and epoxidharz to polish the surface of your wood jewelry.

• You should only need to polish once a month or as needed.

 

 

Leather necklace and bracelet

• Leather Jewellery is not waterproof, but it is water-resistant. This means it can be worn in the rain or when you wash your hands.

However, it is important to avoid getting leather jewelry wet if possible.

• To clean leather bracelets, use a slightly damp cloth with a drop of mild hand soap and wipe it down gently
