Making Your Pearl And Gemstone Jewelry Items Last For A Lifetime

By Karyn Shields


Fine pieces of jewelry require a lot of love and care. After all, they are some of the most expensive personal ornaments on the planet. Proper cleaning and storing allow these items to last for years and even generations. You certainly want all of your elegant pearl and gemstone jewelry items to add sparkle to your attire for as long as you want to look and feel beautiful.

Sparkling and timeless, you can depend on these personal ornaments each time you want a boost in appearance and confidence. Ensuring that they are in their best possible shape is the secret to winning admiring stares and remarks from everyone around you. Otherwise, fashion accessories whose pearls and gems no longer shine like they should may fail to make you look your best.

All items with pearls and gemstones require utmost caring and protection. Seeing to it that they are getting the right amount of cleaning and safeguarding allows you to make the most out of your expensive investments. Especially if you have invested your money in premium ones, they may even be handed from generation to generation provided that you take good care of them.

Make sure that you place each one of them in their designated boxes when not being used. In case you were not able to keep the boxes they came in when you bought them, purchase velvet or cotton pouches. Refrain from placing them inside the same containers, especially those with pearls and gems. It's a good idea to buy an organizer featuring several compartments with proper lining.

Never leave these personal ornaments right next to any home appliance that gives off heat. Similarly, they should be kept away from direct sunlight and really hot places. Items with silver parts should be stashed in areas that are cool and dry to ward off the formation of tarnish on the metal surfaces. You may try placing anti-tarnish strips inside your jewelry organizer to delay the process of tarnishing.

It's natural for these items to gather dirt and oil each time you put them on. In order to maintain their sparkle, always wipe them off with a lint-free cloth made for cleaning women's fashion accessories. Stubborn grime on the surfaces of gemstones may be removed with the help of a soft-bristled toothbrush dunked in warm, soapy water. See to it that you immediately dry these personal ornaments afterwards. Never do these DIY cleaning procedures on jewelry pieces with pearls.

Make sure that you are already fully clothed before you begin to accessorize with these glittery items. In addition, you should also be done with the application of your favorite cosmetics. The likes of hairsprays, perfumes, makeup, deodorant and lotions tend to contain chemicals that may land on those pearls and gemstones, instantly robbing them of their glorious beauty.

Fashion accessories adorned with pearls and gemstones should be taken to a jeweler from time to time. Such is necessary for cleaning, maintenance and repair. Experts in fine jewelry pieces suggest that this should be done at least once every six months.
