We all know that gold and silver accessories are loyal companions that can level up your look. But how do you take care of these jewelry pieces to keep them shiny and long-lasting? Let's discuss!
How to Care for Gold Accessories
-
Store Well: When not in use, store your gold jewelry in a soft jewelry box or jewelry pouch to avoid scratches and piles.
-
Avoid Chemicals: Keep gold jewelry away from chemicals such as perfume, hairspray, and household cleaners (laundry soap, etc.). These can damage the gold surface.
-
Clean Gently: To clean gold jewelry, soak it in warm water with a small amount of mild soap such as baby soap or buy a special liquid for cleaning gold jewelry. Brush gently with a soft toothbrush and towel dry.
-
Regular Checks: Check your gold jewelry regularly to make sure there are no loose stones or damaged parts.
How to Care for Silver Accessories
-
Store Separately: Silver jewelry tends to scratch easily, so keep your silver jewelry separate from everything else, perhaps in a pouch or wrap it in a soft, clean cloth.
-
Avoid Moisture: Silver jewelry can be oxidized by moisture. Make sure to keep it in a dry place and protected from humid air.
-
Clean Regularly: Silver jewelry will oxidize over time, which can make it look dull. Use a specially designed cloth to clean them.
-
Avoid Ammonia-Containing Cleaners: Some cleaners contain ammonia, which can damage jewelry. Opt for a cleaner specifically designed for silver or ask for the recommended cleaning method from the place where you bought it.
