Here are some quick and easy tips to ensure you protect your jewellery. Ensuring you save your money for new pieces, and not for replacing your current collection. Whether it’s silver or gold items, you want to ensure you protect your jewellery as long as possible. At Makara, we believe that every piece of jewellery tells a story. Don’t be a rule breaker, follow our easy-to-follow rules, and let’s nerd out together.
- Keep them securely confined:
- Hold your jewellery prisoner.
- Store them well in our pung boxes or dust bags.
- Limiting contact with moisture and air over time.
- Gold scratches easily, ensure its safety by keeping them apart from silver.
- Keep them dry and away from skincare:
- Don’t share your skincare with your jewellery.
- Be a little selfish and remove your pieces during your skincare routines.
- Avoid perfumes:
- You smell great, so your jewellery doesn’t have to.
- Silver items will tarnish faster when exposed to perfumes.
- Keep away from bodies of water:
- Shower alone, your jewellery doesn’t need to join you.
- This applies to the ocean, pools, and other bodies of water.
- Jewellery won’t be damaged but may lose its shine over time, with silver items tarnishing faster.
- Avoid sunlight:
- Just like your skin, gemstones will lose their shine with excessive exposure to sunlight.
- Night time:
- Don’t take your jewellery to bed.
- Avoid unnecessary entanglements.
- Clean up:
- Don’t be shy, give them a good wipe.
- For pieces that need a pick-me-up use a little dishwashing soap and warm water.
- Rub the jewellery with a soft cloth and finish it off with a rinse in cold water and buff until dry.
