Artificial Jewellery Care Guide: How to Keep Your Pieces Shiny & New

When it comes to ornaments, artificial jewellery stands tall as the sole element that helps you express yourself without burdenising your pocket. Then, be it an artificial jewellery set or a pair of artificial rings, it is only fitting that they, too, got something in return. What might that be, you ask? Proper care. But how do you ensure that your artificial jewellery shines the brightest for years to come? Let’s find out!

Why Does Artificial Jewellery Lose its Shine?

Artificial gold jewellery tends to lose its shine as time passes by. Unlike real gold or silver, the artificial jewellery is amalgamation of mixed metals, which, more often than not, are coated with a paper-thin layer of gold, silver, and/or rhodium. As time passes by and jewellery comes in contact with skin more frequently, the moisture, air and sweat can cause it to lose its shine. But, the good news is that you can prolong the life of your artificial jewellery by following the below mentioned simple tips.

Tips to Keep Your Artificial Jewelry Glossy

1.    Comply with the No Moisture Rule!

If you want to keep the shine on your artificial jewellery intact, always keep it away from moisture in any form – whether it be water, sweat, and/or humidity.

2.    Entanglement is the Numero Uno Enemy of Artificial Jewellery!

Artificial jewellery including artificial rings are delicate in nature. Which is why, it is important to keep them separately because of the risks of them getting entangled with each other. And while the entanglement itself does not harm your product, it’s what it does that can damage your jewellery – scratches.

• Use your vanity’s extra space to store your jewellery items separately.
• Wrapping your jewellery in a soft cloth keeps it safe from getting scratched.

 3.    Clean, but Gently!

Artificial jewellery is supposed to be delicate. It’s not meant to last long for years. Which is why, it is imperative to clean it smartly. A single jarring wipe can take the sheen off of the jewellery.

4.    Avoid Direct Contact with Chemicals

Don’t expose your jewellery items to chemicals that can damage them. Avoid using/spraying anything that might cause the metal to lose its shine.

Bridal Jewellery demands Special Treatment

Bridal artificial jewellery. The name for the jewellery-kind is self-explanatory. It demands your utmost attention and extra care for many reasons, but primarily because it’s the jewellery set you wore on your Big Day!

Mistakes You Should Definitely Avoid

1. Regular Cleaning Makes for a Shiny-Looking Jewellery Set

Irregular cleaning, despite your Pakistani artificial jewellery set looking flawless, will result in it losing its colours due to the build-up of debris, comprising oil and dust. Clean it regularly for a smooth, shiny look!

2. It’s Jewellery. Not Your Wardrobe. Store It Properly.

We have seen it far too often as to how people stuff their jewellery items on one pretext or the other, only to see their jewellery damaged in the end. Don’t do it. Store it properly so that you don’t regret later.

3. Inconsistent Repairs

Can you survive for long if you don’t cater to your injuries? No? Then, how can you expect a delicate jewellery item to magically heal itself if you are not willing to take it for a repair job?

How to Restore Tarnished Jewellery

Tarnished jewellery doesn’t always mean it’s a lost cause. Here’s how you can bring it back to life:

1. Mix baking soda with water to form a paste.

2. Gently rub the paste onto the jewellery using a soft cloth.

3. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

For delicate pieces like artificial bridal jewellery, consider professional cleaning services.

Conclusion

At the end of the day, the job of taking care of your artificial jewellery falls on your shoulders and no one else’s. You shouldn’t do it because you invested in it, you should do it because every piece of jewellery – whether it be a real jewellery set, or a Pakistani artificial jewellery set holds importance in your life.

Imitation jewellery will only work its magic when it is kept with extra care and effort. Don’t ignore it just because you did not want to get up to clean it. It is your responsibility to ensure that it looks as stunning as it looked the day you bought it.
