HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR JEWELLERY
Your jewellery deserves the same love you put into choosing it. Whether you own 18k gold plated jewellery, 925 sterling silver pieces, or zirconia and gemstone jewellery, proper care keeps every piece looking brand new for longer.
HOW TO STORE YOUR 18K GOLD PLATED JEWELLERY IN PAKISTAN
Pakistan's humid climate and heat can affect your jewellery faster than you think. Here is how to store it right:
Keep each piece in a padded jewellery box or a soft pouch to prevent scratches. Gold plated jewellery scratches easily when it rubs against other pieces or hard surfaces, so always store pieces separately.
Avoid direct sunlight and humid areas like bathrooms. A cool, dry drawer or jewellery organiser works best. This is especially important for gold plated earrings, necklaces, rings and bracelets that you wear regularly.
Always wipe your jewellery with a soft microfibre cloth before putting it away. This removes sweat, oils, and dust that build up from everyday wear and speeds up tarnishing.
HOW TO CLEAN 18K GOLD PLATED JEWELLERY AND RESTORE ITS SHINE
If your gold plated necklace, huggies, or statement earrings have lost their shine, do not panic. Cleaning them is simple:
Mix a small amount of mild soap with lukewarm water. Soak your jewellery for 5 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft-bristle brush. Rinse lightly and pat dry with a cotton cloth immediately. Never leave jewellery wet.
Avoid vinegar, lemon juice, baking soda, toothpaste, or any harsh chemical cleaners. These react with gold plating and cause permanent discolouration. The same applies to perfume, hairspray and lotions — always put your jewellery on last, after all beauty products.
TIPS FOR LONG-LASTING JEWELLERY IN PAKISTAN
- Remove jewellery before swimming, showering, or washing dishes
- Avoid wearing gold plated jewellery during workouts as sweat accelerates tarnishing
- For 925 sterling silver jewellery, use a silver polishing cloth to restore shine
- For zirconia and gemstone pieces, clean gently around the setting so stones stay secure
- Never sleep in your jewellery
