When we buy some jewellery, we are so excited about her that we wear it at all times. If you neglect you sleep even with her!
But so much use means that it deteriorates with all the sorrow of our heart. That is why we are going to give you some little tips to take care of your jewellery and last much longer like the first day you bought it.
Be careful with the liquids!
Whatever it is, because both the water and your own sweat or even the cologne, will cause the jewellery to lose its original colour and turn blackish.
So:
- Nothing to shower or bathe with her on.
- Do not practice sports with the jewellery on, because as we say your sweat will change colour.
- Put on the cologne a little before putting on the jewellery, so that when you wear it, your skin has already dried and does not spoil it.
- The same with skin cream, either hydration, sun protection or other type. First put on the cream and once it has been absorbed through the skin then put on the jewellery you want.
How do you recover the colour of the jewellery?
Buy necklaces at Love Lockets if you have followed our first advice is typical of all types of jewellery, otherwise, the colour will darken over time.
What to do then? Well, very simple, with a dry cloth rub the piece and you will see how it gradually regains its brightness and original colour.
There are also special products for cleaning metals, but to make sure that it works and will not spoil the piece, do a test somewhere small and that is not visible when you put it on. So, if you see that it works and leaves the product in perfect condition you can apply it without fear in the rest; if on the contrary it leaves it badly, then you will only have “spoiled” a small part that is not visible above.
Another option is that you alternate the jewellery frequently. Come on! Do not always go with the same pendant or the same earrings, for example, but combine them and use different ones every day just like you do with your clothes?
Ah! And do not keep all the jewellery together, because it will end up scratching and losing the colour or enamel that the piece can carry.
Care with the stainless-steel jewellery
We just gave you some tips about jewellery in general, but what about the jewelry designed in stainless steel? Well, it also requires simple care to last longer. Care we tell you right now:
- Avoid storing the pieces all together, because they are scratched, in addition to darkening more quickly and easily, as with sterling silver, for example.
- Avoid contact with liquids, such as water, cologne and sweat. But here you also have to be careful with bleach, alkaline salts and any type of chemical.
- And as we told you with the jewellery, stainless steel can also be cleaned to recover its original colour, which over time and use will also be lost.
The easiest way to clean it is with water and a neutral soap; Although there is also a special suede so that they recover their shine, but as we advise you with the pieces of jewellery, first do the test in a place that is not visible and tiny?
A last tip
You can’t miss buying: Bracelets Although more than a tip it is a trick to make the jewellery last longer and especially to put it into practice if you are allergic to non-noble metals; and is that you apply a small layer of transparent nail polish on the part of the piece of jewellery that will be in contact with the skin. Once it has dried well it will act as a protective film to isolate the metal from your skin, it will not give you allergy and this will keep its original colour for a longer time.
And we only have to invite you to our store so you can get that whim you deserve and that you can have for much longer as new by following these tips.
Tips to take care of your fantasy jewellery and prevent them from turning green
With these tricks you will learn how to clean them and prevent your accessories from staining
Fantasy jewellery is a great alternative for those who often lose things, for those who cannot spend so much money or for those who need an accessory that will only be used a couple of times in an event. Be that as it may, it usually gets stained or ruined over time.
Fortunately, there are several tips so that this does not happen and you get the most out of your accessories:
Use clear enamel
Every time you buy a fancy or low-cost accessory, apply a thin layer of clear nail polish to areas that will be in contact with the skin. In the case of the rings, apply only inside, and in the necklaces, in the upper inner part that is the one that will rub your neck. You may have to reapply the coating every so often, but this is a pretty infallible solution.
Aspirin
Use two effervescent aspirins diluted in a little water, pour your accessories and let them soak for 10 minutes. Subsequently, dry your jewellery with a towel. This method is perfect to restore the shine or remove stains that returned to your green or orange jewelry. Remember that this applies to jewellery and metal accessories; the pearls, plastic or wood would be ruined. On the other hand, green spots are the result of the reaction of the metal with the skin. Copper is usually the culprit, but even this can happen to us with silver.
Spray
This is a super tip to protect jewellery from being damaged, discoloured, scraped, etc. Use your hair spray and do it as many times as you need. Place your jewels on a surface and spray the spray on the reverse side, at a distance of 20 cm. Prevents the spray from falling on glazed crystals so as not to dull the shine.
Here at Love Lockets you can find some especial accessories for that unique occasion, they will completely change your look and make your neck area look beautiful at any given time.
