At Céleste, we are not only passionate about creating beautiful jewelry, but also about helping you preserve its beauty. My name is Jonathan Galis and together with my mother, Adina, we run Céleste. In this blog post, we will share our best tips on how to care for and maintain your gold jewelry so that it can shine for many years to come.
Why is Care Important?
Gold is a precious metal, known for its durability and beauty. But even the finest gold jewelery can lose its luster if not cared for properly. Daily use, exposure to chemicals and general wear and tear can affect the appearance of your jewellery. With the right care, you can preserve their shine and value.
Daily Care
To protect your gold jewelery from daily wear and tear, there are some simple habits you can adopt:
- Avoid chemicals: Remove your jewelry when cleaning, bathing or applying lotions and perfumes. Chemicals in these products can damage the gold.
- Storage: Store your jewelry in a soft jewelry bag or lined jewelry box to avoid scratches and tangling.
- Use them wisely: remove your jewelry before playing sports or doing hard work that could damage it.
Cleaning of your gold jewellery
Regular cleaning is essential to keep your gold jewelry shining:
- Mild soap and water: Make a solution of mild soap and warm water. Use a soft brush, e.g. a toothbrush to gently clean the jewelry. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
- Avoid harsh cleaning agents: Do not use strong chemicals or abrasives as they can damage the gold.
- Professional cleaning: For an in-depth cleaning, you can advantageously have your jewelery professionally cleaned.
Maintenance
In addition to regular cleaning, it is important to have your jewelry inspected:
- Check for damage: Regularly inspect your jewelry for loose stones, worn clasps or other damage. If you discover anything, you should have it repaired as soon as possible to avoid further damage.
- Professional inspection: We recommend that you have your jewelry inspected by a professional at least once a year.
Your gold jewelry is a valuable investment, both emotionally and financially. By following these care tips, you can ensure that they remain beautiful and radiant for many years to come.
