The Jeweler's Guide to Preserving Your Treasures: Tips for Maintaining Jewellery

We all love our jewellery, right? At Kameswari Jewellers in Jubilee Hills, we know how special your pieces are, whether they're family heirlooms or something you bought to celebrate a big moment. Taking care of them properly keeps them sparkling for years to come!

Whether it's a timeless diamond necklace passed down through generations or a statement ring marking a special occasion, proper care ensures your jewellery continues to sparkle for years to come.

Here are some expert tips from our team to keep your IGI-certified diamond jewellery and other treasured trinkets gleaming:

1. Regular Cleaning is Key
Dust, pollution, and daily wear can diminish the sparkle of your gems and metals. Gentle cleaning with a soft-bristled brush, warm water, and mild soap can work wonders. For more delicate pieces, a professional cleaning by your jeweler can restore their brilliance without risking damage.
2. Safe Storage Solutions
Store each piece of jewellery separately to avoid scratches or tangles. Soft-lined jewellery boxes or individual pouches are ideal. For silver pieces prone to tarnishing, anti-tarnish strips can work miracles in keeping them bright.
3. Know When to Take It Off
It's best to remove jewellery during activities that could expose it to harm. This includes swimming (chlorine and salt can be harmful), gardening, cleaning (chemicals can be harsh), and even during extensive physical activities where sweat can tarnish metals.
4. Mind the Makeup
Apply makeup, hairspray, perfumes, and lotions before putting on your jewellery. These products can contain chemicals that may damage or dull precious metals and stones over time.
5. Tread Carefully with Pearls
Pearls require special attention. They should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off. Wipe them with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing to remove any residues that might have settled on their delicate surfaces.
