Silver and Semi-Precious Gemstone Jewellery - The Ultimate Care Guide
How to Care For Your Jewellery
Storage Your Jewellery
Maintain silver jewellery out of the atmosphere and light
when kept to prevent tarnishing. A protective jewelry pouch, a lined box or
only wrapping in tissue or soft fabric are all suitable.
Each piece of jewelry ought to be stored in another
compartment to stop scratching as a result of bits knocking together. Gem-set
jewelry will definitely contain diamonds that are tougher than silver and will
therefore scratch the surface of the silver if permitted to jangle together.
This holds true for gold too.
General Care in Wear
Treat your jewelry with loving care and respect and it will
stay young looking - like most girls.
Washing Up, Spring Cleaning or DIY?
Remove your jewelry when carrying out cleaning or other
chores. Cleaning fluids may damage both the metal and the gemstones. A miss-hit
with the hammer could end a beautiful relationship with not only your
engagement ring.
Moving out?
Don't forget to put your jewelry on after employing make-up
along with the hairspray and avoid contact with perfume.
Going swimming?
Remove all jewellery before entering a chlorinated pool. If
you're contemplating a sauna, then remove all jewelry since it will burn you
when it heats up. Many gemstones are ruined by prolonged exposure to heat.
Going on holiday?
The majority of us come off the shore on the first day using
the 3 s's all attained - rings caked in sand, sea-salt and suntan cream.
Nude sunbathing, as far as silver and gold jewellery is
concerned, is essential!
Remember also that sand will scratch the surface of precious
metals.
Sweat will not enhance your jewellery and no-one will
probably be looking at it anyhow.
What's Silver?
The remaining 7.5percent is generally copper but can be
metal and is used to provide this precious metal strength and durability.
Silver which is 99.9% silver is too soft to be practical for many day to day
uses.
