How to Care for Your Precious Jewellery
Your jewellery is more than just an accessory—it’s a statement of your unique style and a treasure meant to last a lifetime. At Elysian Embrace, we believe in helping you cherish your jewellery for years to come, and proper care is the key to its longevity. Drawing inspiration from the National Association of Jewellers' advice on jewellery care, we’ve compiled some essential tips to keep your pieces shining bright.
General Jewellery Care
Jewellery is delicate and requires thoughtful handling to maintain its beauty and integrity. Here are some general care tips to follow:
-
Avoid Exposure to Chemicals
Everyday substances such as perfumes, hairsprays, lotions, and cleaning agents can tarnish or damage your jewellery. Always apply beauty products before putting on your jewellery to minimise contact with these chemicals. -
Remove Jewellery During Activities
It’s best to take off your jewellery during activities like swimming, exercising, or household cleaning. Chlorine, sweat, and abrasive surfaces can dull or scratch your precious pieces. -
Handle with Care
When putting on or removing your jewellery, handle it gently to avoid unnecessary strain on clasps, chains, or settings.
Storing Your Jewellery
Proper storage is just as important as your daily care routine. At Elysian Embrace, we provide jewellery boxes and dust bags with our pieces to help you store them safely. Here’s why it’s essential:
- Prevent Scratches: Storing jewellery separately in our soft dust bags or compartments of your jewellery box prevents pieces from scratching each other.
- Avoid Tarnishing: Keeping your jewellery in a clean, dry place reduces exposure to moisture and air, which can cause tarnishing.
- Protect from Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade certain materials and damage your jewellery over time. Always store your pieces in a cool, dark place, like our jewellery boxes or dust bags, to keep them pristine.
- Stay Organised: Our jewellery boxes are perfect for keeping your collection organised and easy to access.
Cleaning Your Jewellery
Regular cleaning helps maintain your jewellery’s sparkle. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently polish your pieces and remove dirt or oils. For more intricate designs, a gentle solution of warm water and mild soap can work wonders. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh cleaners, as they can damage delicate finishes.
