How to care for your jewellery

How to care for yellow gold jewellery
Yellow gold jewellery is durable but can still be prone to scratches and damage if not cared for properly.
Cleaning
- Clean with a soft cloth
- Gently wipe your yellow gold jewellery with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dirt, oils, and fingerprints.
Storage
- Store your gold jewellery separately from other pieces to prevent scratching. You can use jewellery pouches or lined jewellery boxes for storage.
Wearing
- Keep your gold jewellery away from harsh chemicals such as chlorine, bleach, and household cleaning products, as they can damage the metal.
- Remove your gold jewellery before engaging in strenuous activities such as sports or heavy lifting to prevent damage.

Sterling silver jewellery is beautiful but requires regular care to prevent tarnishing and scratching.
Cleaning

Storage
- Store your sterling silver jewellery in a dry, airtight container or a tarnish-resistant jewellery box to prevent tarnishing.
Wearing
- Avoid exposing your sterling silver jewellery to moisture, including water, sweat, and humidity, as it can accelerate tarnishing.

Annual check-up
Just as regular servicing is vital for maintaining the performance and longevity of your car, so too is servicing your jewellery essential for preserving its beauty and integrity. Much like how a car undergoes thorough cleaning, inspection, and maintenance to identify and address any issues, jewellery servicing involves professional cleaning and examination to ensure stones are secure, clasps are functioning correctly, and the metal remains in optimal condition. Ignoring jewellery maintenance can result in tarnishing, damage or even loss of precious stones.
By investing in annual jewellery servicing, you not only safeguard your valuable pieces but also uphold their sentimental and monetary worth.
Contact the friendly team at Jubilee Jewellers to arrange an annual check-up for your jewellery.
