The Basics - Protecting Your Jewelry
There are so many different kinds of jewelry available today - the variety of shapes, sizes,Moncler Fue Down coat coffee, colors, materials,Moncler Men Vest Jacket, and finishes seem endless. One might think that all of these different kinds of jewelry require different care. However,Moncler Gaelle Fully Lined Vests Purple, we do have "The Basics" - simple measures you can take to preserve the beauty of all your jewelry from precious gemstones to faux pearls and faux diamonds, and 18K gold to sterling silver. Antique jewelry, vintage jewelry, estate jewelry,Moncler Quincy down jacket black, you name it.
The most effective way to preserve your precious gems and jewelry is by keeping it out of harm's way. We realize that it is virtually impossible to shield your jewelry from the daily hustle and bustle of life. After all,Moncler Argeles baby jacket red, you are supposed to be able to relax and enjoy wearing your jewelry. But as the following points reveal, you can keep your jewelry beautiful just by limiting its exposure to certain conditions.
The trouble with lotions and potions
Through our daily grooming rituals,Moncler Kids Clothing Fall Winter, we are frequently exposed to various chemicals which may not harm us, but could be harmful to our jewelry. A few include hairspray, mousse, body lotion,Moncler Bady Feather down jacket Gray, moisturizer, perfume, make-up,Moncler Clairy Shiny Puffer Jacket Purple, shaving cream, and soap. These chemicals can leave a residue on jewelry,Moncler Long Quilted coat, creating a dull film that is very difficult to remove. To prevent this buildup, remove your jewelry before bathing and grooming,Moncler Men's Amarige Vests Rouge, and put it on right before you get on with your day. Think of your jewelry as the finishing touch. Once you see how infrequently you have to clean your jewelry, it's worth the extra step.
Jewelry does not work well with household chores
Before you are about to clean the kitchen,Moncler Women Down Jacket Alpes Garnet, assemble a bike, build your dream deck or do any other work around the house, make sure that you take off all your jewelry. Harsh, abrasive household cleaners can cause hard-to-remove build-up and leave dulling scratches. It is especially important that you remove all jewelry when working with power tools: chains,Moncler Men Vest Jacket, rings and earrings may get caught on a power tool and break or cause serious injury. (Be sure to follow all instructions when using such tools.)
WARNING! chlorine bleach and jewelry don't mix
Chlorine bleach may be able to save those dirty socks, but it can destroy your jewelry, especially silver. When silver is exposed to chlorine bleach, the chemical has an oxidizing effect on the metal, causing the metal to turn an unsightly black. In most cases, standard household jewelry cleaners cannot remove the blackened metal. A professional jeweler with the proper equipment might be able to help. To be safe,Moncler Bady Feather down jacket Caramel, always remove your jewelry before working with chlorine bleach.
H2O is a big no-no
Although we use water to clean much of our jewelry, you should thoroughly dry your jewelry after exposure to water, especially before storing it in an enclosed space. Moisture fosters tarnish on silver and can weaken springs and clasps. Moreover,Moncler Women Down Jacket Bady Feather Brown, certain costume/fashion jewelry and gemstones should never be soaked in water or worn when bathing (see the Special Cleaning section below for details).
Extreme temperatures may cause extreme problems
A sweltering sun or cold winter day will not harm your jewelry. However, it is a good idea to keep your jewelry away from extreme heat and cold. Some jewelry is more sensitive to heat than others. For example,Moncler women's Vest, extreme heat (comparable to the temperature of boiling water or very hot tap water) could damage jeweler's cement commonly used with costume jewelry,Fashion Moncler Clairy Dowe Sleeveless Vest Grey, cultured pearls or marcasite. Moreover, a rapid increase in temperature could cause thermal shock, leading to fractures in some gemstones.
The beauty of proper storage
The key to protecting your jewelry is not only in how you wear your jewelry, but also in how it is stored.
Give it some space
When storing your jewelry, you should give each piece its own space. Metal can scratch or scuff other metal. Diamonds and other hard gemstones that come in contact with metal or each other can destroy luster,Moncler Bulgarie down jacket black, or cause more serious damage. For this reason, protect each piece by storing it in its own individual container or compartment. Or,Moncler Angers belted down jacket in dimgray, if you prefer to keep all your jewelry together in one big jewelry box, place each individual piece in a pouch or a self-sealing plastic bag. (If you do use a plastic bag, make sure that the piece is completely dry before storing.)
Fasten the clasp
For bracelets and necklaces,Moncler Men's Multiple Logo Vests Red, always fasten the clasp when storing. This will help prevent any tangling that might occur.
Dry, dry, dry
It is very important, especially for silver items, to thoroughly dry your jewelry before placing it in an enclosed space. Moisture fosters tarnish and can weaken springs and clasps. Moreover,Moncler Chamonix down jacket light gray, certain gemstones are prone to suffer from water damage.
