Jewellery Care Tips For Summer Season
With the heat and everyday summer activities, here are a few jewellery care tips that will help you keep that sparkle going strong all summer long.
Take Jewellery Off When Sleeping
It’s tempting to leave your jewellery on, but trust me—it’s best to take it off before bed. Not only does this help prevent unnecessary wear and tear, but it also avoids any snags, especially with delicate pieces or rings that could catch on sheets or fabric. Plus, your jewellery will appreciate the rest, just like you!
Tip: Keep a cute little jewellery dish by your bed to safely store your pieces while you sleep. It’s an easy way to keep them safe and in one place!
Hydrate and Care for Your Skin
Your skin needs a little TLC in the summer heat, and so does your jewellery! Dry skin can cause irritation from your jewellery, and the oils from your skin can build up on your pieces, making them look a little dull. To keep both your skin and jewellery in top condition, hydrate regularly and apply lotion to keep your skin soft and your pieces sparkling.
Tip: After moisturizing, let the lotion sink in for a few minutes before putting your jewellery back on. This will help keep things looking fresh and glowing all day long.
Clean Your Jewellery Regularly (But Gently!)
Summer heat can cause oils, sunscreen, and saltwater to build up on your jewellery, which can dull its shine. Give your pieces a little TLC by cleaning them regularly, but always do so gently. Harsh cleaning methods can cause more harm than good, so stick to soft cloths and gentle cleaning products.
Tip: A quick wash with warm water and a drop of mild dish soap, followed by a soft brush (think a baby toothbrush), can do wonders for keeping your jewellery sparkling.
Choose Jewellery Material Wisely
Not all jewellery is created equal when it comes to the summer heat! If you want to wear pieces that can handle the sweat, sun, and daily activities of the season, gold-filled jewellery is a great choice. It offers durability while still giving you that beautiful gold look, making it perfect for everyday wear. Plus, it won’t tarnish as easily as other metals—ideal for those hot summer days!
