1. How to properly keep fashion jewellery so that it lasts a long time
First and foremost. If you can store our jewellery in the best possible way, you can cut down on the amount of cleaning and maintenance it requires. The following are some suggestions for keeping your jewellery clean and looking new for longer.
After each usage, wipe your jewellery with a clean microfiber towel to avoid having to clean it as frequently. All dirt, water, or air pollution effects that may have impacted and accumulated on the jewellery would be washed away, making it look new for a longer period of time.
Keep your jewels in a safe place. You might put the jewellery in ziplock bags to keep it safe. One component per bag should be designated. The metal will not oxidise or turn green if it is not exposed to air.
The amount of time your jewellery is exposed to air is reduced when you store it in a jewellery box with a closing lid. The plastic pouch protects it from being scratched when it comes into contact with other hard surfaces.
Before putting on your jewellery, spray perfume and apply cosmetics. Anything with a water/oil base has the potential to discolour your jewellery. The polish of the items might be tarnished by perfumes and lotions. Spraying perfume and lotions on the jewellery first will coat it and cause it to discolour. Because water and perspiration are corrosive, don't wear your jewellery in the bath or shower, or when you work out. Wait till your body is completely dry before putting on the jewellery. This would assist to prevent some of the corrosion that causes fashion jewellery to appear dull. The need for frequent cleaning would be minimised as a result of this.
Apply a coat of see-through nail paint to your jewellery as a finishing touch. This would not only make it shine brighter, but it would also help it last longer. This occurs because the layer of nail polish protects the jewellery surface from impurities and corrosion agents.
2. Identify the types of jewellery
To begin jewellery maintenance, you must first determine the material of the jewellery piece and then select the appropriate cleaning procedure. It's the equivalent of washing coloured and white clothes separately.
All related pieces of jewellery should be grouped together. The polishing or plating of one item of jewellery may have an impact on the plating of another.
Stone jewellery should be kept separate since the stones occasionally adhere to the jewellery with adhesive (not the normal grade). You must be certain of the amount of liquid used during cleaning. The liquid has the potential to loosen the stone and cause it to fall out. Using water on the underside of Kundan and enamel items can also discolour them.
3. Pick the tools
For good and better cleaning, you'll need the correct gear. The tools used on the jewellery should be gentle.
Using a delicate brush would be best. This would be able to access the delicate internal places where dirt and flakes collect. The soft toothbrush could be used as well, but only with caution. Scratches on the jewellery may occur if the jewellery is cleaned on hard surfaces. As a result, used toothbrushes are strictly prohibited.
You might also use a soft sponge. They would make it easier to clean flat polished surfaces.
4. Cleaning agent
To verify the effect of the agent on the plating, examine a small area of the jewellery, such as the backside of an earring or a necklace. Should the cleaning agent be used for the complete jewellery piece if the plating looks good for at least 24 hours following treatment on the test surface? Commercial cleaning chemicals are widely accessible on the market. Make sure it doesn't include any ammonia or alcohol. These could be hazardous to your jewellery and cause it to tarnish. If you prefer mild cleaners that may be used at home, the following are some of your possibilities.
Lemon juice
Is a weak acid that comes from nature. Cleaning can be aided by rubbing some lemon juice (diluted with water). Lemon is extremely effective when used over silver.
Vinegar in a water solution
Soak the jewellery in the solution for a while and then brush or sponge clean. If there are any flakes in the cracks, a brush may be useful in removing them.
Mild baby shampoo
Dilute a few drops of baby shampoo in a little amount of water. Pearls can be cleaned using shampoo. The solution should have the consistency of thick tomato soup. Add a few drops of water if the mixture is too thick. Apply the solution to the jewellery piece using a broad brush.
Toothpaste
Toothpaste should never be used on enamel jewellery. Apply toothpaste to a soft brush and gently scrub the jewellery.
Contact lens solution
If you have sensitive skin, you should avoid using contact lens solution. Enamel jewellery should not be treated. Before using the contact lens solution, read the entire contents list as well as the warning labels. Use a brush to apply the contact lens solution and wipe it clean as soon as possible. If the solution is left in the jewellery over an extended period of time, tarnishing may occur.
Rinse the piece in cool water as soon as possible after applying the cleaning solution and washing everything off. Rinse the jewellery only long enough to remove the soapy water solution. Place your jewellery on a towel to absorb any residual water as soon as possible after rinsing it. Using the towel, absorb any surplus water. Blow-dry the jewellery right away. If the jewellery piece is not dried soon, rust and watermarks may develop. Blow-dry the hair until it is completely dry. When blow-drying jewellery with gemstones, use caution because a hotter setting on the dryer may cause the adhesive to melt.
