The Materials In Your Jewelry Collection<\/h4>\n
You may have read <\/span>our shopping guide to Cartier gold jewelry<\/span><\/a> where we explain the different types of gold, purity levels, and industry myths. Generally speaking, whether you\u2019re shopping for <\/span>Cartier jewelry<\/span><\/a> or something else, it\u2019s a great read if you\u2019re trying to get a better understanding of <\/span>what your fine jewelry is made of<\/span><\/a>. When you know what your jewelry is composed of, you will be one step closer to knowing the best way to care, clean, and store it.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1705615486736{padding-bottom: 40px !important;}”][vc_column]\t There is a difference between base metals and precious metals. Translation? Some jewelry pieces are merely coated with precious metals while others may have a much higher percentage of these precious metals. You want to be careful about rigorously cleaning your jewelry because excessive cleaning can increase the risk of discoloring the metal or removing the metal coating if there is one. It\u2019s always important to tread carefully around any precious material of value, especially if you\u2019re not sure entirely what it\u2019s made of.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Cleaning gold jewelry poses no issues. However, silver jewelry (especially sterling silver) may require a polishing cloth and water to get any tarnish off. Investing in a proper jewelry polishing kit is a great way to go. Lucky for you, all <\/span>jewelry pieces at Wholesale Replica Hermes Jewelry <\/span><\/a> are cleaned professionally before they are listed for purchase on our site.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n Our experts say if you\u2019re going to clean anything with diamonds use about a cup of warm distilled water with 1 drop of liquid castile soap. Use a baby\u2019s toothbrush to gently scrub – ideally in a bowl versus somewhere else such as the bathroom sink because if a stone does happen to loosen or fall off (<\/span>heaven forbid<\/span><\/i>), you can find it! Note that no detergent should ever be used to clean jewelry containing opals or emeralds, as castile soap is very strong and requires heavy rinsing afterward to avoid a film developing over the stone or other lingering issues. When in doubt or if your diamond jewelry really needs some serious TLC take it to a trusted jeweler to have it professionally cleaned.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n If you\u2019re wondering how to clean pearl jewelry, our experts advise using a soft lint free cloth to wipe off any small particles and debris to keep your pearls looking fresh. If your pearl jewelry looks dirty, you can give it a deeper clean by soaking a Q-tip in soapy water (dawn soap is recommended) and using the Q-tip to gently wipe away the dirty parts around the pearls. To keep your pearl jewelry intact (because sometimes as they age, they can loosen up), consider getting a re-string done annually or every other year. <\/span>Mikimoto<\/span><\/a> is renowned for its pearl jewelry, and they suggest this.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1705615192272{padding-bottom: 40px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n Aside from basic cleaning tips, keeping your jewelry investments looking great also requires daily mindfulness and proper tlc. Which brings us to the point of this section: essential daily care. It\u2019s sort of common sense, come to think of it, so we\u2019ll mainly focus on the not-so-obvious jewelry care tips.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1705616140085{padding-bottom: 40px !important;}”][vc_column]\t Malachite jewelry should be handled very gently as the color can fade with excessive wear. The same goes for Lapis and Turquoise because these gemstones have a shiny polish that can wear off over time if things are sprayed with perfume or worn in the pool for extended periods of time. Emeralds should be handled carefully as well as they\u2019re usually \u201coiled\u201d and using something like hot steam or an ultrasonic can damage its internal appearance or even break the stone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n These precautions are not to deter you, but to remind you to stay, well, mindful. When in doubt, keep your jewelry at home, especially if you\u2019re going to be doing any rigorous activities like training for a marathon, going on a 5-hour hike, or even spending a sweaty day at the beach \u2013 because your jewelry will be exposed to all sorts of foreign substances and over time this can contribute to the decline in quality or worse, damage jewelry. As a general rule, don\u2019t wear jewelry in any body of water; aside from the damage that it could potentially cause if in the water too long, if a stone is lost you will likely never find it. No one wants to be <\/span>Kim Kardashian when she loses her $75,000 diamond earring in the ocean<\/span><\/a>. If you must wear them out (<\/span>it\u2019s okay, we can barely part with ours either<\/span><\/i>), then be sure to refer to our expert jewelry cleaning tips above.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Learn <\/span>more about Van Cleef & Arpels stones<\/span><\/a> here.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n Our experts say pearls should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off. This makes sense because of how precious and sensitive pearls are to foreign substances. For example, spray on your perfume first, allow it to dry, then go ahead and put on <\/span>your favorite heirloom pearls that your grandmother passed down to you<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n Avoid layering your jewelry, especially necklaces if you like to wear multiple at a time. Doing so can cause knots to develop in the chains, tangle the chains in your hair, and overall further damage your jewelry. Sunscreen can also harm your jewelry so like other body creams and perfumes, be sure to apply sunscreen first, let it dry, and then put on your jewelry.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1705615192272{padding-bottom: 40px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n Taking care of your jewelry investments is a no-brainer if you want them to last. Another crucial step is storing your jewelry properly. This ensures your jewelry stays safe, secure, and ready for the next adventure. When not in use, keep your jewelry away from direct sunlight. A great tip is to store them in the original packaging \u2013 pouch, case, or box \u2013 as they are custom-made to protect and store your jewelry. If you don’t have the original packaging, consider investing in a jewelry box. Jewelry boxes are fantastic, with special compartments for different types of jewelry which keeps things organized and can also prevent unnecessary tangling and tarnishing. The girls who get it, get it.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1705616618273{padding-bottom: 40px !important;}”][vc_column]\t [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] As the saying goes, a little TLC goes a long way. Safeguarding your jewelry investments will ensure that they last. By remembering a few important things, you can enhance the lifespan of these special pieces.
