JEWELLERY CARE
CARING FOR YOUR PRECIOUS JEWELLERY
At Dreemee, we understand the value and sentiment behind every piece of jewellery you own. To ensure that your treasured jewellery pieces remain as exquisite as the day you acquired them, we've put together this comprehensive guide on how to care for your jewellery.
Storage Matters
When you're not wearing your jewellery, storing it properly is crucial. Keep each piece in a separate compartment or pouch to prevent scratching and tangling. For extra protection, consider using anti-tarnish strips or airtight containers to shield your pieces from moisture and oxidation.
Regular Cleaning
Regularly cleaning your jewellery is essential to maintain its shine and sparkle. However, different metals and gemstones require specific care:
Gold and Platinum: Soak in warm, soapy water and gently scrub with a soft brush. Rinse and pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Silver: Polish gently with a silver cleaning cloth or a specialized silver cleaner.
Gemstones: Use a mild detergent and a soft brush to clean gemstone jewellery. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage delicate stones.
Zinc and Alloy: Wipe gently with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the plating.
Gold-Plated: Use a mild detergent and a soft brush to clean. Avoid abrasive materials and excessive scrubbing to preserve the gold plating.
Handling with Care
Always handle your jewellery with clean, dry hands. Avoid touching the gemstones directly, as natural oils from your skin can dull their brilliance over time.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Chemicals in household cleaning products, perfumes, and cosmetics can harm your jewellery. It's advisable to remove your jewellery before using such products and to put it on last after dressing.
Remove Before Activities
Remove your jewellery before engaging in activities that may expose it to potential damage. This includes swimming (chlorine can damage metal), exercising (sweat can dull the shine), and gardening (dirt and chemicals can harm gemstones).
Regular Inspections
Periodically inspect your jewellery for loose stones or signs of damage. If you notice any issues, it's best to consult a professional jeweller for repairs promptly.
Professional Cleaning
For precious or intricate pieces, consider having your jewellery professionally cleaned and inspected at least once a year. A jeweller can identify any potential problems and restore your jewellery's brilliance.
Protect from Extreme Temperatures
Extreme heat or cold can damage certain gemstones and metals. Store your jewellery away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations.
By following these care guidelines, you can ensure that your Dreemee jewellery remains a symbol of elegance and beauty for years to come. We are committed to creating pieces that stand the test of time, and with your dedicated care, they will continue to shine brightly in your collection.
