How to Keep Your Jewellery Looking Fresh & Shiny

Jewellery is meant to shine—literally and figuratively. But over time, even the most stunning pieces can lose their sparkle due to dirt, oil, and daily wear. The good news? Keeping your jewellery looking fresh isn’t hard with the right care. Here’s how to make sure your favourite pieces stay as radiant as the day you got them.

1. Clean Regularly with Gentle Methods

Your jewellery goes through a lot—exposure to sweat, skincare products, and pollution. To keep it fresh:

• Silver: Use a soft cloth and a silver polishing solution or a DIY mix of warm water and mild dish soap.
• Gemstones: Wipe with a damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals.
• Chains & Delicate Pieces: Soak in warm, soapy water for a few minutes and gently scrub with a soft brush.

2. Store Properly to Prevent Scratches & Tarnish

The way you store your jewellery matters just as much as how you clean it. Keep pieces in:

• Soft pouches or separate compartments to prevent scratches.
• Anti-tarnish bags or cloths for silver pieces.
• A cool, dry place, away from humidity (bathrooms are a no-go!).

3. Remove Jewellery Before Certain Activities

To avoid buildup and damage, take off your jewellery when:

• Showering or swimming (chlorine and saltwater are harsh on metals).
• Applying lotions, perfumes, or hair products.
• Working out (sweat and friction can speed up tarnishing).

4. Give Your Jewellery a Spa Day

Once in a while, treat your jewellery to a deep clean:

• Soak silver in a mix of baking soda and warm water for extra shine.
• Use a professional jewellery cleaning solution for a thorough refresh.
• For intricate pieces, a professional polish can work wonders.

With these simple care tips, your jewellery will keep its shine and stay looking brand new for years to come!
