Taking care of a Jewel

CARING FOR A PIECE OF JEWELLERY

When we buy a piece of jewellery or when it is given to us as a gift

the first thing we instinctively do is admire it in all its beauty and then wear it.

There are pieces of jewellery that we only wear on special occasions,

others that we wear every day because we just can't do without them,

this, however, requires special attention to product care.

In fact, jewellery is not 100% indestructible and none of it will last for many years

in optimal conditions, even if we strive to make them as durable as possible.

 

GOLD

Gold can normally be cleaned with added soap and water.

After this step, it should be rinsed with clean water and dried with a soft cloth.

SILVER

Jewellery made of this material definitely needs the most care.

If not worn, they should not be exposed to the air,

but kept in special velvet or silk bags, or in jewellery boxes.

The most common problem with silver jewellery is oxidation,

a natural process that can be prevented with proper

 and care can be prevented.

6 RULES TO FOLLOW WHEN CARING FOR JEWELLERY

1. Wash the jewellery in warm soapy water with a soft brush, except those with leather parts, which should be cleaned with a soft cloth.
