7 Simple Jewellery Care Habits to Keep Your Favourite Pieces Shiny

Your jewellery can stay beautiful for years with a few simple habits. Put it on after your skincare, perfume and makeup have dried, and take it off before showering, swimming or going to bed. Soap, chlorine, sweat and moisture can dull metals, weaken finishes and damage delicate stones. After wearing your pieces, wipe them gently with a soft, lint-free cloth. Store necklaces, rings, earrings and bracelets separately in a cool, dry place to prevent scratches, tangles and tarnishing. Avoid leaving them on bathroom counters where steam and humidity can cause damage. Check clasps, chains and stone settings regularly, especially on valuable or frequently worn pieces. When in doubt, avoid harsh cleaners and ask a qualified jeweller for advice on cleaning pearls, antique jewellery, plated items and delicate gemstones.
