Regular Wearing Tips
Swimming Pool
We all know that swimming pools have insane amounts of chlorine. This chemical can destroy your gold jewellery as it is considered an enemy of gold. Excessive exposure to gold Jewellery to chlorine could lead to a change in structure and ultimately break it. So always remember to remove your Jewellery before jumping in a pool.
Soft Nature of Gold
Despite its shiny appearance and high value, gold is a soft metal. Gold Jewellery such as rings, bangles, watches, necklaces, and chains can be easily damaged. So make sure you remove your Jewellery before playing and while doing house chores.
Before Bathing
It is always better to remove gold jewellery before taking a bath because soap could form a thin layer on it and lose the shine off your gold jewellery.
While Cleaning
While cleaning your house with acids or other corrosive substances could damage gold Jewellery, and it can lose its shine. So, you must remove all Jewellery and wear gloves before cleaning or doing other household chores.
While Getting Ready
You may not know that your gold jewellery could lose its shine when in contact with perfume, hairspray, makeup, lotions, etc. Please be sure before you put on these things.
Daily Cleaning Tips
As Indians, we embrace gold Jewellery in our day-to-day lives. But this wear and tear of gold could lead to permanent damage. Here are some tips to help you regularly take care of your gold jewellery.
Look For Any Damages
Many people overlook damage to gold Jewellery. It is always better to look for damages before cleaning. Damages can be dents, scratches, loose stones, and even loss of some jewellery parts.
Using Soap
You may use soap or body wash to clean your Jewellery whenever necessary. Please do not overdo this as it can fade your Jewellery’s shine.
Consider a Professional Jeweller
Of course, it is much better to hire a professional jeweller to clean your Jewellery with advanced methods. Professionals use alcohol and other acids to clean gold Jewellery that makes them look new.
Soaking
This is the easiest method of all to clean your Jewellery at home. Soak jewellery pieces in lukewarm water for 3 hours. Then remove it gently and brush it with a soft toothbrush until you are sure all dirt is out. Then pat dry the Jewellery with a soft cloth before using.
Storage Tips
The old proverb, “Cure Is Better Than Prevention”, strongly applies to gold Jewellery. It is equally important to store Jewellery as it is to clean. Below are the best storage tips that will last your gold jewellery for years.
Use A Soft Cloth
Using a soft cloth to clean and store gold jewellery to keep its shine is better. You may also use cotton to do the same. A soft cloth can be your eyeglass cloth and phone screen wipes, so save them if you might need them in the future.
Use A Jewellery Box
We advise using a wooden jewellery box that is not sensitive to moisture and can remain dry no matter what.
Separate Your Jewellery Pieces
Please make sure to separate your gold jewellery pieces from others, such as necklaces must be kept separate from bangles.
