What to Avoid and What to Do!
The Right Way to Store:
Recklessly throwing jewellery into your handbag? Not great. Store it in a soft cotton pouch or a velvet-lined box to keep scratches at bay (trust us, your jewellery will thank you for being this considerate).
Say No to Chemical Bath:
Chemicals and Aquamarine don’t go along well. No perfumes, lotions or even hair sprays! For anyone who religiously adheres to a skincare routine, do it before wearing your jewellery.
No Basking in the Sun:
It’s not just the sunlight that’s the problem but any prolonged exposure to heat is its enemy. So, take it off before you engage in a therapeutic cooking session.
Expert Examination:
Like a therapist who understands what works for you, a jewellery expert is a person who can fix every jewellery-related issue. Loose prongs? Or the jewellery needs a deep cleansing? Take it to a professional for a thorough examination.
