How to Keep Your Jewelry Sparkling: Care & Maintenance Tips

Jewelry is not just a beautiful accessory it's an investment and a part of your story. Whether it’s your everyday diamond ring or an heirloom bangle, proper care is essential to keep each piece looking as brilliant as the day you got it. Here’s Heera’s guide to help you protect and preserve your favorite jewelry.

1. Clean Your Jewelry Regularly

Gently clean your jewelry using lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft-bristled brush. This helps remove dirt, oils, and daily buildup. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they can dull the shine or damage certain stones and metals.

2. Store Each Piece Separately

To avoid scratches and tangles, store your rings, bangles, necklaces, and bracelets separately. Use soft pouches or a fabric-lined jewelry box to keep them safe. Diamonds can scratch other jewelry, so isolation is key.

3. Avoid Contact with Chemicals

Perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, and even household cleaners can damage metals and gemstones. Always wear your jewelry last when getting ready—and remove it before swimming, bathing, or cleaning.

4. Take Off Jewelry Before Physical Activities

Whether you're at the gym or doing housework, it's best to remove your jewelry to prevent accidental damage. Bangles and rings are particularly vulnerable during such tasks.

5. Get Regular Professional Checkups

Bring your jewelry to a professional jeweler for regular inspections. This ensures clasps, settings, and prongs are secure especially for pieces you wear frequently.

6. Special Tips for Different Jewelry Types

• Diamonds: They may be hard, but they still need gentle care. Clean regularly to keep them sparkling.

• Gold & Platinum: Use a soft cloth to wipe and restore shine.

• Gemstones: Each stone is unique. Avoid direct sunlight and water exposure for softer gems like emeralds or opals.

Conclusion:

Your jewelry deserves the same love and care that went into choosing it. By following these simple maintenance tips, you can ensure your favorite Heera pieces remain radiant for years to come ready to shine at every occasion.
