Different types of jewellery will need a different type of care to make sure they stay looking as good as possible, but the one thing they will all have in common is that if you forget about them, even the most expensive pieces of jewellery can very quickly lose their shine and lustre.
Whilst diamond rings are very hard to break, they are not indestructible so even these will need to be cared for in the right way. The best way to look after your jewellery is to ensure that you store it in the correct way. Having the right case to store them in is a very good start, but you should also consider keeping each individual piece separate to avoid them potentially scratching each other, as well as wherever possible giving them each their own chamois bag.
Keeping your rings, necklaces and bracelets clean is also hugely important. Specific materials will often have specific cleaning solutions that are best for them. However, if you have a large number of pieces, all with different gems and materials, often the best bet is to just use soap and warm water and clean them with a soft, smooth cloth. Cleaning solutions will always help you get the best results though.
Also try to avoid wearing your expensive items when handling any chemicals, whether that is cleaning products, hairspray or anything else that may contain potentially harmful chemicals. Doing housework, or any type of physical work, whilst wearing them is also a bad move.
Keep on top of any maintenance. Small issues will be much more easily dealt with than if they are left to grow into big problems.
If you want those expensive diamond rings and necklaces to stay looking their best, then they will need to be looked after in just the right way. The best way to be sure you are doing it right is to get some advice anytime you buy something new, whether that is in person or via email.
