Best practises and suitable cleansing techniques for keeping your jewellery looking its best are usually universal, regardless of whether your preferred type of jewellery is gold, silver, platinum, fashion, or any other type. I went to a jewellery party full of crowing old ladies (all of whom wore rings on all 10 fingers) and picked up some useful, eye-opening advice. The nice thing about jewellery is that the rules are the same regardless of whether your preferred piece is a ring, necklace, bracelet, pair of turquoise earrings, or something else else. To ensure that your treasured jewellery lasts as long as possible, consider the four highlighted "s's" below. Don't do the following when you're adorning yourself with jewellery:
Soap. Protect the shine of your jewellery by keeping it away from any soap, even the mildest. Every chore in between doing the dishes and doing the laundry falls under this rule as well. Soap and detergents can leave a permanent rust stain on metal, turquoise, or gemstone jewellery, and they can also leave a stain on the more fabric-like types of jewellery (hemp, satin, etc). Bleach and chlorine bleach in particular are extremely dangerous, as are many other types of cleaners.
Showering. This is a widespread misunderstanding. While the rest of your body is being cleaned, the shower is one of the most hazardous environments for jewellery. While the water and soap are great for keeping your body clean, they can corrode, tarnish, and stain any metal accessories you might be wearing. Putting your jewellery on the counter before getting in the shower will protect it from water damage and spare you the hassle of trying to restore it afterward.
Sweat. I've seen ladies at the gym working out while wearing multiple pieces of jewellery. I can't put my finger on it. There is salt in your sweat. Metal and gemstones can both be eaten by salt. Sweat will utterly destroy any bracelet made of fabric. Even low-impact exercises like weightlifting, walking, and yoga can cause you to sweat, so you should remove any jewellery you normally wear before getting started.
Swimming. This is one of the worst things you can do to your jewellery because of the chlorine and water. In addition to the severe damage that water can do to jewellery, losing it in a body of water is nearly a certainty. Instead of taking a chance and losing expensive jewellery, it's advisable to keep it close by on your beach blanket.
