Taking Care of Your Necklaces

To keep the pristine look of your necklaces, keep the following pointers in mind:

1. Polish your pieces using non-abrasive cleaning cloth, to prevent scratches. Do not use abrasive cleaners, detergents, and commercial cleaners ‘dips' for necklaces that have an oxidised finish.
2. For silver necklaces, you can use soap and water to maintain its quality. Do not dry them off with paper towels or tissues, use a soft cloth instead. You can also use a toothbrush and toothpaste to remove the tarnish.
3. Keep your necklaces in a cool, dry place. You can use a Zip-lock bag to avoid tarnishing and scratching.
4. Do not dip your silver necklaces in chlorine, salt water, suntan lotion and mineral springs since these will discolor and loosen the gems for those pieces with gemstones.
5. Do not wear your necklaces when sleeping, at play and in the shower.
6. Intense dryness is damaging especially to pearl necklaces, be careful not to store these pieces in dry areas. They are also sensitive to hair spray, cosmetics, acids and perspiration.
