Jewelry is a beautiful and timeless accessory that can be passed down through generations. However, it requires proper care and maintenance to keep it looking its best. Here are some tips on how to clean and care for your jewelry.
1. Clean your jewelry regularly. Use a soft cloth to wipe away dirt and oils from your jewelry. You can also use a mild soap, warm water and a toothbrush to clean your jewelry (Dishsoap works great). Make sure to rinse it thoroughly and dry it with a soft cloth.
2. Store your jewelry properly. Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. You can also use a jewelry box or pouch to keep your jewelry safe and organized.
3. Avoid contact with harsh chemicals. Harsh chemicals such as chlorine, bleach, and ammonia can damage your jewelry. Make sure to remove your jewelry before swimming or using any harsh chemicals.
4. Have your jewelry professionally cleaned. Professional jewelers can clean and inspect your jewelry to make sure it is in good condition. They can also repair any damage that may have occurred. Remember we at Mark Allen Jewelers never charge for cleaning and inspections for anything we sell so take advantage of it!
5. Take off your jewelry when doing activities. Remove your jewelry when doing activities such as exercising, gardening, or cleaning. This will help prevent damage to your jewelry.
By following these tips, you can keep your jewelry looking its best for years to come. With proper care and maintenance, your jewelry can be a treasured heirloom for generations.
