Essential Jewelry Care Tips

At EVA GEMS DUBAI, we want your exquisite jewelry to sparkle and shine for years to come. Proper care and maintenance are crucial to preserving the beauty of your pieces. Here are essential jewelry care tips to keep your treasures in pristine condition.

1. Regular Cleaning

To maintain the brilliance of your jewelry, clean it regularly. Use a soft cloth to gently wipe your pieces after wearing them to remove oils, dirt, and makeup. For deeper cleaning:

  • Gold and Platinum: Soak in warm, soapy water and gently scrub with a soft brush.
  • Silver: Use a silver polish cloth to restore shine.
  • Gemstones: Consult a professional for specific cleaning methods for delicate stones.

2. Store Properly

How you store your jewelry can significantly affect its longevity. Follow these storage tips:

  • Use a Jewelry Box: Keep your pieces in a lined jewelry box with compartments to prevent scratching and tangling.
  • Separate Items: Store different types of jewelry separately. Avoid placing necklaces and bracelets together to prevent knots.
  • Avoid Humidity: Store jewelry in a cool, dry place to prevent tarnishing, especially for silver pieces.

3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Chemicals found in household cleaners, swimming pools, and even beauty products can damage your jewelry. To protect your pieces:

  • Remove jewelry before cleaning or using harsh chemicals.
  • Avoid wearing your jewelry while swimming or showering.

4. Be Mindful of When You Wear It

Consider when and where you wear your jewelry:

  • Active Activities: Remove jewelry before engaging in sports or heavy physical activities to prevent damage.
  • Apply Cosmetics First: Put on makeup, perfume, and hair products before wearing jewelry to avoid residue buildup.

5. Schedule Professional Maintenance

For fine jewelry, especially pieces with intricate settings or valuable gemstones, consider regular professional maintenance:

  • Inspection: Have your jewelry inspected annually for loose stones or wear.
  • Professional Cleaning: Periodically take your pieces to a jeweler for professional cleaning and care.

6. Handle with Care

Always handle your jewelry gently. Avoid tugging or pulling on delicate chains, and be cautious when putting on or taking off rings to prevent bending or scratching.

7. Insurance and Documentation

For high-value items, consider insuring your jewelry. Keep all documentation, including receipts and certificates, in a safe place for potential claims.
