Common Mistakes in Jewelry Care and How to Avoid Them

Jewelry is more than just an accessory—it's a meaningful investment and often holds sentimental value. However, improper care can tarnish its beauty and reduce longevity. Let's explore some common mistakes individuals make in jewelry care and how to prevent them.

Mistake 1: Not Storing Jewelry Properly

One of the most common mistakes is tossing jewelry into a drawer or leaving it on a vanity. Over time, this can lead to scratches and tangles. It's essential to store your pieces correctly to maintain their shine and integrity.

How to Avoid: Use a jewelry box with compartments or individual pouches for storing each piece. For necklaces, particularly delicate items like the 14k Rose-Gold Vermeil Herringbone Necklace, hanging them can prevent tangling.

Mistake 2: Exposing Jewelry to Chemicals

Harsh chemicals from perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products can cause damage to jewelry, especially those with gemstones or sensitive materials.

How to Avoid: Put on jewelry after applying beauty products and remove them before cleaning. This is especially crucial for engagement rings like the Radiant Pavé Diamond Engagement Ring, which can lose their sparkle when exposed to chemicals.

Mistake 3: Wearing Jewelry During Physical Activities

While it might seem harmless, wearing jewelry during vigorous activities can lead to damage. Rings and necklaces are particularly susceptible.

How to Avoid: Remove pieces like the Radiant Halo Diamond Engagement Ring before hitting the gym or engaging in activities that could cause scratches or impact.

Mistake 4: Neglecting Regular Cleaning

Over time, jewelry can become dull from accumulated oils and dirt. Regular cleaning is essential to keep them looking their best.

How to Avoid: Clean your jewelry routinely using mild soap and water or a soft jewelry cloth. Be sure to check out custom pieces from the Custom Necklace Collection, which can require special care instructions.
