Jewellery is not only the icing on the cake, but also a long-lasting souvenir, or even a treasure passed down to future generations.
However, the main premise is that proper maintenance and care can keep diamonds and various colored gemstones sparkling at all times, and gold and platinum will not turn into rotten copper and rotten iron.
Everyday Wear
For the daily wearing of jewellery, pay special attention to the following points:
-
Avoid contact between jewellery and household chemicals, such as cosmetics, perfumes and bleach, to prevent the surface of jewellery from being eroded.
-
Jewellery is not suitable for exercising, swimming, sleeping or doing housework.
-
Avoid exposing the gold jewelry to sudden changes in temperature. If you take a cold water bath just after taking a steam bath, the gold chain worn on your body may not be able to withstand the pressure of cold shrinkage and thermal expansion and deform, and the gemstones in the jewellery are more likely to crack.
-
Too hot environment is not suitable for storing goldware. When cooking, be careful to avoid hot smoke from damaging your goldware.
-
The sweat of the human body will corrode precious metal jewelry, so after wearing it in summer, you should often wash it with water and dry it with a towel.
