Gold jewellery has always been a timeless accessory. Although it is not just a fashion accessory. It is in fact considered as an investment and also carries emotional value. Besides all this, gold is an expensive metal. So, the best way to get the most out of your investment is to take care of it.
Gold jewellery needs very little maintenance and upkeep as it does not wear off, fade, or tarnish like other metals. But a little care can prolong the sparkle of your gold pieces so that they last a lifetime.
Why is the maintenance of Gold jewellery important?
Doing the right maintenance of your gold jewellery will:
• Remove buildup from dirt, soaps, makeup, and body oils
• Keep your gold accessories sparkling
• Increase the lifespan of your gold jewellery
Here are some important tips to take care of your Gold Jewellery
- KNOW WHEN TO TAKE IT OFF
In order to minimise soap buildup, remove your gold jewellery before showering. It is very important to take off your gold jewellery before the pool as chlorine is the worst enemy of gold as its repeated exposure can weaken its structure and lead to its breakage. As gold is a soft metal, make sure to take off your gold jewellery before doing any high-intensity contact sports as they make it susceptible to scratches and dents. - GET READY FIRST THEN PUT ON YOUR JEWELLERY
While getting ready, first apply makeup, lotions, hairsprays, perfumes or any other liquids. Once you’re all ready, then put on your jewellery. Doing this will prevent your precious gold pieces from exposure to different particles and residue that can build up to cause damage. - AVOID CONTACT WITH HARSH CHEMICALS
Always keep your gold jewellery away from chemicals including household cleaners, bleaching creams, cosmetic products, and perfumes. These products contain abrasives and acids which can damage your gold jewellery. Avoid any contact with chlorine as its prolonged exposure can lead to damaging the integrity of gold items and even breakage. - STORE IT IN AN ORGANISED MANNER
The most recommended practise is to store your gold jewellery individually in its own case. Since gold is a soft metal it might get scratched by being in contact with other pieces of jewellery. Alternatively, you can just wrap each jewellery piece in a tissue or soft cloth for adding a layer of protection and store them in a spacious jewellery box. - CLEAN IT REGULARLY
By following all these tips, you should not worry about losing the lustre of your gold ornaments. But you have to pay attention to the regular cleaning of your jewellery pieces. Because even after your utmost efforts, you can’t really protect your precious pieces from dust and other particles. You can clean your gold jewellery by dipping it into a warm water and adding some non-toxic soap into the water. Then gently scrub your pieces using a very soft brush. Wash it off using clean water and dry it completely before storing or wearing it. - GET IT PROFESSIONALLY POLISHED
Cleaning your gold pieces will maintain the sparkle of your gold jewellery but nothing compares to professional polishing. Getting it professionally done will also address scratches, any loose prongs or stones that you might not notice at home. This will restore the original glamour of your gold jewellery and also extend its lifespan.
