Proper storage

 

Keep your jewellery pieces in separate boxes in order to prevent them from getting entangled with each other . Pieces such as necklaces and bracelets or even rings when kept together cause friction. This friction can cause your jewellery, to get scratched on it’s shiny surface.

 

Avoid moisture on your jewellery

 

The best way to avoid moisture on your precious jewellery is by proper storage as discussed in the first point. You can also do many other other things to prevent moisture on your jewellery. Silica pouches provide a budget friendly and effective way to retain moisture inside your jewellery storage box. The silica pouches contain tiny silica gel beads and have a lot of tiny pores on their surface, which soak up the moisture when placed in a humid environment via a process called adsorption.

 

Beauty products and perfumes

 

Applying beauty products, first, such as moisturisers, day creams, perfumes or any other sort of beauty product can be a big step towards preventing your jewellery from getting tarnished. The chemicals inside these beauty products might stick to your jewellery and cause damage to its shine.



Swimming and other physical activities 

Certain activities can cause your body to release more than normal sweat. This sweat might or might not react to the necklace you wear around your neck. While most of the brands guarantee water resistance, it is better to not wear artificial jewellery when swimming or doing any physical activity on a daily basis.

 

Cleaning your jewellery on a fortnight basis 

Cleaning your jewellery is a good idea only if it is done gently. A simple process of cleaning your accessory by using dish soap and water on a cotton swab will remove any dust or grease stuck on it. You can also just dust it off by using a dry cloth. Please avoid soaking your artificial jewellery in water as it can irreversibly damage it.

 

Handle with care 

The latest trend of minimalistic Jewellery is on the rise. Thin neck pieces to delicate bracelets are the fashion statement the GenZ and millennials are making. Hence, taking care of your jewellery when you wear it is also important to avoid any beads from falling loose or breakage of the chains.
