Handmade Jewellery Care

Gill Critchley Said:

Making sure that your jewellery is cared for properly is very important if you want it to last and it’s even more important when it comes to caring for handmade jewellery as it can be a lot more delicate. Here are some important tips to help keep your jewellery in a good condition: – One of the main things to remember is to store your jewellery either laying down flat or hanging up straight to prevent any kinks from spoiling it. – Try to keep your jewellery out of direct sunlight as it may start to fade any stones over time. – Sterling silver and gold jewellery is known to tarnish with age so to stop this happening to your jewellery try storing it in an air tight container. – Repeated exposure to the chemicals in products used such as perfume or hairspray can cause your jewellery to start to look dull and old. The best thing to do in order to stop this from happening is to put your handmade jewellery on after you have applied the products. – For some jewellery, liquid cleaning solution is not safe and may damage any stones in your jewellery. In order to clean your jewellery, simply run a soft cloth over the stones or for more intricate jewellery, try using a soft toothbrush and water to clean with. For silver pieces, a silver cleaning cloth will help jewellery keep its shine. It’s important to look after your jewellery so it can stand the test of time and it’s especially important that you look after any handmade jewellery you may have as these are one-off pieces and you won’t be able to get the exact pieces again.
