Maintaining the Life of Your Jewelry
Your first opal jewellery is always as precious and valuable as it could have been given to you by a loved one - it is your own treasure. As the years go by, you get more pieces, whether they are gifts, inheritance or you buy for yourself. Some you will love more than others and there will be those that are your signature pieces - the ones you wear every day or the ones you usually wear. No matter how many pieces of jewelry you have, your opal earrings should be well-maintained and well cared for. Your jewelry will be in good condition with a small TLC.
Let's start with everyday wear. Did you know that soaps, shampoos, powders and cosmetics can create a lot of residue and leave a film formation on or under the surface? This can reduce the luster of a diamond or the light or solidity of a colored gemstone. This can make the gold look dull.
Most people enjoy outdoor activities — either sports or household chores. However, these can also cause damage to your opal necklaces. For example, if you are a zealous farmer, and like most people, you want to feel the soil and avoid wearing garden work gloves, you risk losing your rings as they may slip your fingers. Also, dirt could not be absorbed inside the area and stones could be cracked. A bracelet or chain can be caught in something and can be damaged or lost
If you go to the gym, spa or home appliances - do not swim in a hot tub, sauna or swim in chlorine-infused pools as these nutrients can damage the gems by aging when polished into a dull environment. They can also change the color of the opal ring.
Jewelry with stones placed on the nails and / or prongs, should be inspected regularly as it may wear out over time and break down which will result in stone breakage or falling off the mountain. The jeweler can also tip prongs. Sometimes in our daily routine and activities, whether at work or at home, the ring can be hit or hit by something that could damage the nail - most of the time we do not even know it. I tell you personally, it happened to me — two nails in my engagement ring bent sideways, when my hand accidentally hit the wall. I could hear a different ringing sound because the diamond was loose in shape.
Attach chains and bracelets, especially large links can wear thin over the years, especially if worn daily. Linked links slip from movement and release themselves.
Earrings that you recently bought or received as a gift should be sealed and cleaned with an alcohol swab — this will kill any germs. You do not know who tried those earrings before.
When wearing earrings, especially poles, many people press their index finger on the stone while pushing the butterfly. It is wise to place the tissue over the stone as you apply the cover as your finger leaves the view on the stone surface and removes the gloss, sparkle and light of the stone.
If you have mail and butterfly earrings, the butterfly should not slip over it easily, but should be pushed to the post office. If it slips easily, it can slip easily and you may lose your earrings.
Rings should be checked under the shanks, especially if worn daily. The shanks can be thin and remove your finger.
When removing your chains, try to keep the chain in the right place to avoid knots or kinks. Beads of beads should also be kept flat because the silk thread can be stretched over time. If they are too long, they can split.
Since cameos tend to crack and age due to age, thirst, or nutrients, they must be carefully cared for and stored. With a soft brush, mute it. You can also wash the cameo with warm water and dry it.
Diamonds weigh 10 in Moh's Scale of Hardness, but still need proper care and refinement. Diamond gloss can be reduced in hygiene and cosmetic products, household chemicals and powders. Also, natural skin oils and sweat can also reduce gloss. Using mild dishwashing soap with a soft brush and warm water, you can clean the area above and around the settings and wash. Or if you wish, you can also use a commercial jewelry cleaner.
Gentlemen, if you apply some spray, that is, perfume, hair spray, deodorant - wait a few minutes before putting on your jewelry. For example, if you apply perfume and put on your own pearl necklace and the perfume was completely dry, the gloss, gloss and pearl color can be changed and dull and not live long. It is highly recommended that your pearl strand be renewed every 1-2 years and have knots between your pearls. If your stand breaks, your pearls will not be scattered everywhere and by having a knot between the beads of each pearl, they avoid friction. It is best to keep them clean by dipping them in soapy water and then leaving them to dry on a towel. If you wear your pearls regularly, wipe them clean with a damp cloth to avoid any form of chemical reactions.
