5 Tips to Make Your Memories Last
Regular Cleaning and Maintenance
Keeping not only your wedding jewelry but all jewelry clean is crucial for maintaining its sparkle and shine. There are many different cleaning products available depending on the metal and gemstones that you wish to clean. Stop by and let us inspect and clean your jewelry. We can help and advise on what cleaner to use.
Proper Storage
Store your wedding jewelry in a clean, dry place. Use soft pouches or individual compartments in a jewelry box to prevent pieces from scratching each other. For custom rings, consider using ring dishes or stands to keep them safe and easily accessible.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Harsh chemicals can damage the metal and stones of your wedding jewelry. Remove your rings and other pieces before using household cleaners, lotions, or perfumes. These substances can cause discoloration or erosion over time, especially with custom rings that may have intricate designs and settings.
Regular Inspections
Periodically inspect your wedding jewelry for any signs of wear and tear. Check for loose stones, bent prongs, or any other issues that might require professional attention. Regular inspections can prevent small problems from becoming significant issues, ensuring your designer jewelry remains secure and beautiful.
Safe Wearing Practices
Be mindful of when and where you wear your wedding jewelry. Avoid wearing your rings and other pieces during activities that might expose them to hard impacts or rough surfaces, such as gardening, sports, or heavy lifting. This practice helps protect your jewelry from unnecessary damage and prolongs its life.
