Offspring Sterling Silver Drop Earrings

It is important to keep your jewellery away from harsh chemicals likely to damage or discolour the surface of your jewellery like hair dye, makeup and perfume. Also, to remove jewellery like earrings, bracelet and necklaces when carrying out manual labour such as housework where cleaning products are also involved. Avoid handling pearls and gemstones too much, as the natural oils in your skin can dull the surface of the stone. Ensure that jewellery is temporarily removed before applying any cosmetics and beauty care products.

Use a non-metallic brush or a soft-bristled tool to remove the fine layer of oils that can build up on the surface of your gemstone jewellery through general wearing over time. Apply a mild ammonia and water solution or dish detergent to water and gently massage the stones clean with the brush. If using jewellery cleaner, this must be gentle and non-abrasive, especially when dealing with gemstones.

Pearls are resilient and meant to be worn, but they are also delicate and require correct care. As organic gemstones, pearls are vulnerable to acid, alkaline and extremes of humidity. Avoid letting your pearls coming in to contact with cosmetics, hair spray, or perfume. The lustre can also be harmed by perspiration. Make your pearls the last thing to put on after getting ready and the first things to remove at the end of the day. Wipe them gently with a soft cloth to remove any residues before returning to your jewellery box. It is also a good idea to wrap them in a silicone or other soft cloth to prevent damage from other jewellery. Pearl necklaces are stung on to silk which can stretch or loosen. Be careful not to dip pearls in water or wear while bathing, as water can weaken the silk thread. It is also best to avoid direct sunlight or high temperatures such as saunas.  Even if you don’t wear your pearls often it is advisable to have them restrung yearly to prevent any possible breakages.

Using a simple soap and water solution to clean metals will suffice in keeping your jewellery looking pristine all year through. Applying alcohol to plain metal designs can however, help to remove some of the more stubborn residue that can mount up on a piece of well-worn jewellery over time.

It is always wise to wrap your jewellery in tissue or cloth, storing them in a separate compartment inside a jewellery box to avoid potential damage.
