If you want to ensure your jewellery collection looks as sparkling and new as it did the day you bought it, you’re going to want to take appropriate steps to look after it. When you’re looking to take care of gold and silver jewellery, there are a few tips you’ll want to follow.
Here, you’ll discover the best tips on how to look after your gold and silver jewellery.
Know when to use specialist jewellery cleaners
When you’re cleaning gold and silver jewellery, you don’t necessarily need specialist jewellery cleaners. Gold jewellery can be easily cleaned with just a little mild soap detergent and warm water.
Silver jewellery is the only real exception. If there is a lot of tarnish present, you may find it best to use a specialist silver cleaner. This will safely remove the tarnish without damaging your jewellery.
Consider taking out insurance
If you’ve invested in expensive jewellery, or if your jewellery has sentimental value, you’ll want to make sure you protect it against loss and theft. While you don’t want to think about losing your precious jewellery collection, it can unfortunately happen.
Getting the money back for stolen or lost jewellery may not help to ease the sadness if it was sentimental. However, it does help to at least cover the cost so it can be potentially replaced.
Keep it out of reach of your children
If you have children, you’ll definitely want to make sure your jewellery is kept well out of reach. Ideally, this means somewhere high up, where your children won’t be able to reach. It’s also worth separating your jewellery collection, keeping different pieces in different places. This is also a great tip for protecting it against thieves. If someone were to break in, you’d be making their job easy if you kept all of the items together in an easy to find location.
Other useful tips to follow
There are a few general tips you can follow to take care of your jewellery. Things such as taking the jewellery off while carrying out specific tasks and getting the stones checked over by a specialist regularly to check for damage will also help to protect it.
Overall, it doesn’t take too much effort to ensure your jewellery collection is protected. The above are some of the best tips you can follow to take care of gold and silver jewellery.
