Jewelry repair can breathe new life into your favorite pieces, but the process shouldn’t stop there. How you care for your jewelry once you get it back from our jewelry repair shop matters, too.
Here are three simple yet essential things you should do after having your valuable accessories fixed up:
- Clean it Regularly. Regular gentle cleaning keeps dirt and oils from building up and dulling your jewelry’s shine. Wipe pieces down with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear. You may also use warm water and mild soap to give a more detailed cleaning every once in a while – just be sure to dry it completely afterward.
- Store it Properly. Don’t casually toss your jewelry on a dresser or nightstand when you take it off. The risk of misplacing items or accidental damage is too significant. Invest in an airtight jewelry box, armoire, or organizer to store and protect your pieces. A container with slotted compartments prevents tangling and scratching between your jewelry.
- Bring it in for Regular Servicing. Letting your valuables turn too dull or tarnished risks permanent damage in the long run. While you can maintain pieces at home, professional cleanings and polishings by a jeweler once or twice a year will minimize your visits to the jewelry repair shop. A good buffing will restore the shine and bring back that like-new glow.
