1- Clean Your Jewelry Regularly
Use a Soft Microfibre Cloth
A gentle wipe after every few uses helps remove sweat, dirt, and oils.
Avoid rough fabrics—they can cause micro scratches.
For deeper cleaning, use:
- Mild soap
- Lukewarm water
- A soft-bristle brush
Avoid hot water or harsh chemicals, as they can damage protective coatings.
2- Avoid Contact with Perfumes & Sprays
Perfumes, deodorants, hairsprays, and even strong moisturisers contain chemicals that may dull the shine over time.
Pro Tip:
Always wear jewelry after your skincare and makeup routine.
3- Store Properly When Not in Use
Proper storage greatly reduces oxidation and scratches.
Best Storage Tips:
- Keep jewellery in air-tight pouches or boxes
- Use anti-tarnish strips or silica gel
- Store each piece separately
- Keep away from humidity or direct sunlight
This is especially important for gold-plated or silver anti-tarnish jewelry.
4- Keep Jewelry Away from Water & Sweat (Unless Waterproof)
Most anti-tarnish jewellery is water-resistant, but not all are fully waterproof.
- Remove jewellery before heavy workouts
- Avoid wearing them during hot showers
- Dry immediately if exposed to water
If your jewelry is waterproof (like PVD-coated stainless steel), it can tolerate more moisture, but wiping it dry is still a good habit.
5- Get Professional Polishing When Needed
If your jewelry begins to look dull after long-term use, professional cleaning or re-polishing can revive its shine—especially for plated jewelry.
