Common Jewelry Slip-ups You Must Avoid

So, you have an amazing collection of jewelry. Great! But have you ever noticed why they don’t stay with you long; rather scratched, cracked, tarnished or corroded? And, you have no clue what made your precious fashion jewelry damaged or decayed.

Mostly it happens because you only want to wear jewelry and don’t know how not to wear it. Such mistakes severely impact your ornaments appearance and decrease their age. 

You need to follow a few rules of wearing jewelry. How you can perfectly match it with your outfit as per event and how to make people compliment you for what you are wearing. How you cannot look tacky. And most importantly, how you can keep your items long-lasting and sparkling as new.

Here’s a few commonly observed mistakes detrimental to your jewelry collection and how you can dodge them. 

No Regular Cleansing: 
Just like your face needs daily cleaning, your jewelry also needs proper cleansing at regular intervals. Not daily, but you must clean the items as often as required depending on the material, how often you wear, and how you store it. Cleanse every few weeks or monthly if you don’t want to see them tarnished due to accumulated grime and dirt. A gentle wash with mild detergent soap will suffice the need.       
Keep Wearing in Water:
Your jewelry’s consistent exposure to water is a surefire way to damage it. The chemicals in your body washes, and shampoos, etc., eventually start corroding, or oxidizing whatever pieces you kept wearing in water. The chlorine in hot tubs and pools can discolor the items and even weaken the gold. You could easily lose small pieces that may slip off while swimming or under the showers. So, while swimming or doing dishes or in hot tubs, you should take off your jewelry to maintain its original condition.
Considering More Is Better:
A false belief, it is. Often less is more when you consider the occasion while looking at different pieces. A pair of beautiful jhumka earrings might look great for a wedding but will not be a good pick for office. Whatever you wear should not be out of place and event. Don’t overload yourself. Everyone craves for looking beautiful, but wearing too many ornaments can make your appearance too tacky. You can do a lot with a few things – a little is quite easy to carry – choose the outfit first and then go with one or two pieces complementing it.  
No Proper Storage:
Your jewelry’s appearance and condition largely depend on how you manage it. Not storing it properly will certainly leave a negative impact on it. Make sure your precious jewelry is well-stored and protected in a jewelry box. You must keep them safe from humidity and even the free-flowing air. Place them in separate boxes. And, if you want to keep them in one place, in one big box then make sure it has partitions to prevent the pieces from tangling or scratching and getting damaged.


In a nutshell, you need to avoid these mistakes and you will be good to go with keeping your jewelry’s condition satisfactory for longer use.
