Making Sure Your Pearl And Gemstone Jewelry Items Stay Sparkling For Years

By Karyn Shields


Fine pieces of jewelry require a lot of love and care. After all, they are some of the most expensive personal ornaments on the planet. Proper cleaning and storing allow these items to last for years and even generations. You certainly want all of your elegant pearl and gemstone jewelry items to add sparkle to your attire for as long as you want to look and feel beautiful.

Sparkling and timeless, you can depend on these personal ornaments each time you want a boost in appearance and confidence. Ensuring that they are in their best possible shape is the secret to winning admiring stares and remarks from everyone around you. Otherwise, fashion accessories whose pearls and gems no longer shine like they should may fail to make you look your best.

All items with pearls and gemstones require utmost caring and protection. Seeing to it that they are getting the right amount of cleaning and safeguarding allows you to make the most out of your expensive investments. Especially if you have invested your money in premium ones, they may even be handed from generation to generation provided that you take good care of them.

When not being used, remember to place your fashion accessories in the original boxes they came in. Purchasing small pouches out of velvet, cotton or any other soft fabric is a great idea as it allows to your store your prized possessions separately. Refrain from placing pearls and gemstones in the same box. Opt for a jewelry organizer with multiple compartments, each one with a soft lining.

Refrain from placing anyone of them right next to appliances that emit heat. Similarly, they should be kept away from direct sunlight. Gemstones with silver parts are best kept in a cool and dry area to ward off tarnishing. Placing a strip of anti-tarnish paper inside the pouches or compartments of your jewelry organizer can help keep the silver parts shiny and bright for a very long time.

Regular wearing can cause them to collect dust and oils which can keep them from adding sparkle to your clothes. That is why you should occasionally clean the surfaces with a soft and dry cloth to maintain the beautiful luster of your fashion accessories. Stubborn dirt on gemstones may be removed by gently brushing them with a soft-bristled toothbrush dipped in warm water with mild detergent. Ensure that you thoroughly dry them afterwards. These steps should not be done on those delicate pearls of yours.

Make sure that you are already fully clothed before you begin to accessorize with these glittery items. In addition, you should also be done with the application of your favorite cosmetics. The likes of hairsprays, perfumes, makeup, deodorant and lotions tend to contain chemicals that may land on those pearls and gemstones, instantly robbing them of their glorious beauty.

Fashion accessories adorned with pearls and gemstones should be taken to a jeweler from time to time. Such is necessary for cleaning, maintenance and repair. Experts in fine jewelry pieces suggest that this should be done at least once every six months.
