Chances are that you own a couple of nice and unique jewelry sets in your collections such as a personalised bracelet and fancy necklaces. Here are tips and tricks to guide you on how to take care of your engraved jewelry so as to avoid anything that could potentially damage it:
- Understand
Your Engraved Jewelry
It is best that
you know what your engraved jewelry
is made up of before using any type of cleaner on it. Knowing what material
your engraved jewelry is
made up of is the only way you can stop any accidents from happening.
Some materials
are better of left on their own and they will last longer when they are allowed
to be in their original stated undisturbed. When you don’t clean the surface of
the jewelry, the polish on the surface of unique vintage jewelry remains intact and so it
will last longer.
- Clean
Your Engraved Jewelry
With Warm Soapy Water
The best way to
clean your engraved jewelry
is by using the simplest methods. This includes the use of warm water together
with soap. Use a piece of cloth or a soft brush to avoid scratching while you
remove the dirt. After you’re done with the cleaning, rinse the piece of
jewelry using clean water to remove all the soap.
There’s no need
to get fancy or expensive solvents to clean your jewelry. Most of these
solvents are alcohol-based and are filled with a polymer.
- Keep
Your Engraved Jewelry
Away From Chemicals
When you expose your unique jewelry collection to chemicals, they end up damaged and discolored. By chemicals, I do not mean the acids that you find in the labs. I mean chemicals that we handle every day such as lotions, hairspray, perfumes, cosmetics, and chlorinated swimming water. Such chemicals may be too harsh for delicate bracelets and can permanently damage the surface of the jewelry.
- Don’t
sleep In Your Engraved Jewelry
Not only can
sleeping in jewelry irritate your skin but the jewelry may also be damaged. You
might have slept in your jewelry before and may not have experienced any
issues, this will not always be the case. Instead of waiting around to see what
happens if you keep doing it, it would be best to stop doing it. For example,
your earrings may come off the ears and end up inside a person’s ear.
Generally, it’s
safer for you and the jewelry to spend the night apart.
- Store
The Different Pieces Of Your Engraved
Jewelry Separately
Most people overlook the importance of having a proper system for jewelry storage. Actually, what most people do is to toss their jewelry into a drawer without caring to arrange it carefully. They totally disregard the damage and scratches that their treasured engraved pieces are subjected to. Untangling the necklaces and necklaces.
If you’re not in a financial situation that
allows you to get a storage system, it would be best if you keep your jewelry
in the boxes that they came in. Storing each piece in its own designated space
also helps you know exactly where every single one of your jewelry is so you
can find it easily.
- Put
Your Engraved Jewelry On
Last, Take It Off First
These two steps
are very important when you’re getting ready. You should, therefore,
incorporate them into your routine. Always put on your jewelry on last to finish your look and
take it off first when you get back home.
