How to Care for Your Precious Jewellery
Jewellery is more than just an accessory—it’s an investment in beauty, elegance, and heritage. Proper care is essential to maintain its shine and luster. At SAS Jewellers, we want to ensure that your jewellery remains stunning for years to come. Here’s a complete guide to taking care of your precious pieces.
Cleaning Gold Jewellery
Gold, being a precious metal, can last for generations if maintained properly. However, it’s prone to dirt, oils, and scratches over time. Follow these steps to keep your gold jewellery looking new:
- Mild Soap and Warm Water: Mix mild dish soap with warm water and soak your gold pieces for about 15 minutes. Use a soft brush to gently scrub the jewellery, then rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
- Avoid Chemicals: Harsh chemicals like bleach or chlorine can damage gold. Always remove your gold jewellery before swimming or cleaning.
Caring for Silver Jewellery
Silver tarnishes easily, but regular care can prevent it from losing its shine. Here's how to care for your silver jewellery:
- Polishing Cloth: Use a polishing cloth designed specifically for silver to gently clean your pieces. Avoid abrasive materials that may scratch the surface.
- Store Properly: Store silver jewellery in a cool, dry place, preferably in an airtight bag to prevent tarnishing.
Gemstone Care
Gemstones require special care as they are often more delicate than gold or silver. Here’s what you need to keep in mind:
- Use a Soft Brush: Clean gemstones with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid using detergents or chemicals that could damage the stone.
- Safe Storage: Keep your gemstone jewellery separate from other pieces to avoid scratching or chipping.
At SAS Jewellers, we’re here to guide you on how to properly maintain your jewellery so it can shine for a lifetime.
