When you finally have the piece of jewelry of your dreams, there's nothing like staring at it in awe! However, don't let the beauty fool you - you need to take care of your jewelry to preserve its shine for years to come. You know you have to take care of your stuff, right? 😉
Well let's start with how to care for your luxury jewelry:
1. Get insurance for your luxury jewelry, just do it. Buying fine jewelry means a long-term commitment, so trust us: you'll be glad you did.
2. If you decide to remove your jewelry, be careful where you put it, store the luxury jewelry in a cool and dry place. Environmental factors such as sunlight, oxygen and moisture can damage and dirty your jewelry. It is better to keep your jewelry in a safe place in a jewelry box when it is not on you - and separate jewelry so that they do not scratch each other!
3. Try not to touch the gemstones, we know, easier said than done. However, every touch adds dust and grease. By touching the gemstones, you can keep them clean with less maintenance.
4. Avoid chemicals like bleach and other chemicals used for more serious cleaning that can harm the stones. Take care of the basics - dish soap and warm water between 30-55 degrees, even for luxury jewelry. You can clean your jewelry gently using a toothbrush with soft bristles, but if in doubt, remember that you can always contact the designer from whom you purchased the jewelry for specific cleaning instructions, you can also expand on this topic in this blog.
