How to store and care for your jewellery

Our jewels have become part of our daily life. From the plastic ones from our childhood to the ones we got as a present from a beloved one, it is understandable that one would like to keep them forever. 

However, jewels that we love most might erode faster than we wish if they lack proper care and attention. To help you keep your jewellery fresh and looking dapper for longer, here are some tips on how to store and care for it. 

First things first: you have to get to know your jewellery. The material it is built from, the process used to create it, and even how it should be cleaned. We give you a few tips on how to keep your jewellery pretty for longer here. 

Knowing your jewellery ensures you know how to care for it to keep it fresh, and even what types of materials and stones you like for future purchases.

We often recommend wiping the jewellery with a clean cloth to make it look bright and dandy again. If you’d like a specific product to use, there are a few good options of jewellery cleaning products available online and the jewellery care card included in every order has some of the best recommendations too, so pleased keep hold of it! 

Caring for your jewellery also means storing it properly. The box you received with your proposal ring is not only pretty and decorative but also an appropriate cocoon for your favorite jewels. Choose the most qualitative storage you can find: price doesn’t count when it comes to the things you cherish most. 

We can not stress enough the reasons why you should keep your jewellery in separate boxes. Detangling your necklaces is annoying, but it also causes damages to the material and gemstones! 

Finally, avoid wearing your jewels during what we could call 'indelicate activities'. Sleeping, showering, training at the gym, cleaning,… All of these activities contribute to damaging your rings, bracelets, or necklaces, especially when you use chemical products. 

The last piece of advice we could give you is to treat your jewellery with love and patience, and always remember that every piece is unique and one of a kind.
