Care and maintenance of jewelry, don’t destroy jewelry just because you don’t understand!

Q: How to maintain the pearl necklace? Can I take a bath?

A: Not so good…

Q: I wear a diamond ring, and I wash the dishes for a while. Is it alright if I don’t take it off?

A: Well, dear, this is not recommended.

Q: Does this K gold bracelet have to be taken off in the shower? So troublesome!

A: This is necessary…

Can jewelry be worn to bathe and sleep? The correct answer is here:

Not all jewelry!

Absolutely not! !

no! !

Basically, all jewelry is not recommended to wear in the bath! The jewelry you bought is not a roadside stall for dozens of dollars. If it breaks, just throw it away. It hurts to think about it. Jewelry needs to be well maintained  in daily wear, so that the jewelry can always be fresh!

I can’t bear to see this picture a second time! Gems, diamonds, pearls, distressed…

Let’s take a look at the bath environment

jewelry may come into contact with

Hot water, steam, shampoo, conditioner, body wash

and other daily chemical products

There are also Yuba strong hot light or hot air that some babies will use

These environments are for jewelry

roughly equivalent to

People in the Flaming Mountains or in the Fukushima Radiation Zone

To know

The corrosion of jewelry by bathing is a cumulative process

is a process of qualitative change

Impossible to manifest at once

Second

Maintenance is a delicate job

Only you can feel the subtle changes in life with your heart

to feel this change

dirt

Take a bath, wash your hair, wash your hands…wash the dishes! Even any grease from daily life will stick to your jewelry and gemstones, leaving it in the dead corner and no matter how to wipe it off.

fade

Everyone knows that cosmetics or shower gels and other products contain certain chemical substances, and jewelry will fade and lose luster over time if they come into contact with them for a long time.

In addition, in addition to pure gold jewelry that does not fade, jewelry made of other materials (including luxury counter jewelry) will oxidize and blacken or fade over time.

Therefore, it is not recommended to wear jewelry to bathe! Jewelry no longer sparkles and you cry.

Diamonds are the hardest among precious metals, but they are not without weaknesses.

Diamonds are hard, but the angular culet is the most prone to cracking and is particularly sticky . It’s all about being knock-proof and not getting oily (so, don’t touch the diamond when it’s all right!!!) Also, the diamonds need to be placed individually because the two diamonds will also wear each other out.

Different gemstones have different hardness, high and low, but the friction between the edge parts is easy to wear.

So don’t take a shower with jewelry, and don’t wash with jewelry of different materials.

And one of women’s favorites: pearls .

Pearls have low hardness and are chemically sensitive (shampoo, fragrance body wash, facial cleanser… let’s list it yourself), after wear and aging, it will look like the one on the far right of the picture above:

In addition, there are wires, you should pay attention to whether the wires are aging, and there is a precursor to breakage, remember to replace them in time.

So how do you wear it?

During the wearing process, accidentally scratching the jewelry, squeezing the jewelry or even coming into contact with chemicals will reduce the life of the jewelry, so pay more attention during the wearing process.

1. Pay attention to the order in which jewelry is worn

When wearing inlaid jewelry, avoid hooking on clothes and purses, which will cause certain loosening. So in general, jewelry should be worn after the clothes are put on. The same is true when unloading jewelry, first remove jewelry, and then change clothes.

2. Don’t touch too often

Many people feel that the jewelry is beautiful and charming, so they can’t help touching the surface of the gemstone with their hands. However, the hands are easily contaminated with sweat and grease. When touching the gemstone with hands, the dirt stays on the gemstone, which will affect the luster and brightness of the gemstone.

For example, diamonds are lipophilic gemstones, and the surface is easily contaminated with oil, which greatly affects the luster. However, jade is an exception. Frequent touch will make jade more moist.

Check jewelry regularly

Usually, spending a little more time checking jewelry regularly can greatly reduce the crisis. For example, look at the stability of the main stone inlay, whether the rope of the bead string is firm…

Necessary professional cleaning

Each gemstone has a special cleaning method. If you are not sure about it, then send it to a reliable professional jewelry store for cleaning. Where there is professional equipment, you should be more assured than washing it yourself.

Now that we have bought jewelry, we must hope that they will accompany us for a longer time, or even pass on better. If the lifespan of jewelry is reduced because of your own negligence, it is really worth the loss.
