The monsoon season brings relief from the heat, and also brings challenges, especially for those who love wearing jewellery regularly. The high humidity and frequent rains can harm your precious pieces, causing dullness, rust, and damage. That's why it is crucial to follow specific care routines to keep your jewellery in good condition during the rainy season. Knowing the impact of moisture and how to deal with it will ensure your jewellery remains as beautiful as ever.
Humidity is one of the main reasons that can damage your jewellery. Metals like silver and copper are prone to tarnishing when exposed to moist air. Gold is a resistant metal, but humidity can also affect it. Moisture or humidity can also cause gemstones to lose their shine, getting into small spaces and weakening their settings. To protect your jewellery, it is important to follow some simple and effective care tips to keep your pieces sparkling throughout the monsoon.
Learn the best methods for monsoon jewellery care. From storage solutions to cleaning routines, you'll find a complete guide to maintaining your jewellery's shine. We'll also point out some common mistakes to avoid and give you a better understanding of choosing the right products for cleaning and storing your valuable items. These tips will help you handle the monsoon season without fear, keeping your jewellery safe and sparkling.
Simple Tips and Tricks to Protect Your Jewellery from Monsoon Damage
1. Airtight Storage Boxes: Store your delicate jewellery pieces in airtight boxes to reduce moisture exposure, or use plastic zip lock bags to keep moisture out.
2. Silica Gel Packets: Place silica gel packets in your jewellery boxes. These packets absorb extra moisture, providing additional protection.
3. Separate Sections: If you use a large box, keep different types of jewellery in separate sections to prevent scratching and tangling. On the other hand, you can store your jewellery in individual soft pouches or boxes.
4. Regular Cleaning: Clean your jewellery with mild soap and water. Pat dry it with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dirt or moisture. Leave it to air dry for a few minutes, and then store it in the boxes.
5. Use Anti-Tarnish cloths: To provide an extra layer of protection against moisture and tarnish, you can wrap your jewellery pieces in anti-tarnish clothes or put tarnish strips into your jewellery boxes or pouches.
6. Use Toothpaste for Polishing: Test on a small area first to ensure it doesn’t damage the piece; then, apply a small amount of non-gel-based toothpaste with a soft brush, rinse it properly, and leave it to dry.
7. Professional Clean-ups: Consider professional cleaning once or twice a year for valuable or intricate jewellery. Jewellers have specialized tools and solutions to clean and maintain your pieces safely.
8. Avoid Perfumes and Lotions: Chemicals in perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays can react with metals and gemstones, causing discoloration or damage. Apply these products before putting on your jewellery.
9. Fix Loose Stones and Pearls: Moisture can loosen gemstone settings. Look for loose settings and have them fixed by professional jewellers for longevity.
10. Store Silver Jewellery Separately: Silver tarnishes more quickly in humid conditions. Store silver jewellery separately from other metals to prevent chemical reactions.
11. Wear Last, Remove First: Wear your jewellery after getting ready to avoid chemical exposure to makeup and hair products, and remove every piece first while getting undressed to prevent it from damage.
12. Travel Precautions: Protect jewellery while traveling with travel pouches or boxes. Avoid taking too many pieces at once to prevent them from tangling.
