This blog will teach you how to keep your luxury jewellery looking as gorgeous as the day you unbox it.
Understanding Silver
What is 925 silver?
This is an alloy, made up of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% additional metals, It is prized for its strength, durability and luster.
When silver is exposed to air, moisture, or certain chemicals, it tarnishes.
To avoid such tarnish to your luxury pieces, here are a few tips you can follow:
Daily Care for luxury jewellery
With suitable treatments, your luxury jewellery can keep its exquisite shine for years.
1. Wear It Often- Surprisingly, wearing silver jewellery regularly helps to avoid tarnish. The natural oils on your skin function as a barrier, keeping your jewellery sparkling.
2. To avoid contact with chemicals, remove your jewellery before using beauty products like perfumes, lotions, or hairsprays. Keep your pieces away from harsh chemicals like cleaning solutions, bleach etc.
3. Store Properly: Use the bag or jewellery box included with your order to store your pieces.
-Keep each item kept separately to avoid scratching.
-Use an airtight container or pouch to avoid tarnishing.
Cleaning your luxury jewellery
Regular cleaning is crucial to maintaining your luxury jewellery's shine. Here are some safe and effective cleaning methods:
1. Mild soap solution:
Mix a few drops of mild dish soap and warm water.
Let the jewellery soak for 5 to 10 minutes.
Use a toothbrush with a soft break to delicately clean complex motives.
Rinse completely with clean water, then dry with microfiber.
2. Baking soda and water:
Create paste by combining three parts of baking soda and water.
Apply the paste to the jewel using a soft cloth or sponge.
Rub, rinse and polish with a soft towel.
3. Use a professional silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish and restore brightness.
Avoid excessive polishing, which can wear down the silver over time.
Cleaning safety precautions
- Avoid Abrasive materials: Harsh materials, such as steel wool or abrasive cleaners, will damage the silver.
- Check for jewels: If your Noorah piece contains gemstones, ensure that the cleaning procedure is safe for both the silver and the stone. For example, avoid immersing porous stones such as turquoise or pearls.
Maintaining the shine for special events
1. Avoid wearing jewellery when cooking or working with tarnish-prone ingredients during holiday celebrations. After an event, clean your jewelry straight away to remove any residues like oil, or food particles.
2. When traveling with jewellery, use travel-sized jewellery organizers with discrete sections.
-Avoid packing the jewellery together, it will prevent them from rubbing.
