1. Choose the correct cleaning solution and avoid cleaning jewelry with toothpaste.
The most correct cleaning solution should be diluted neutral surfactant (such as salad dressing and baby shampoo).
There is a saying in the jewelry circle that when you brush jewelry with a toothbrush dipped in toothpaste, the jewelry you can use looks as bright as new. It is necessary to clean jewelry, but it is not ideal to use toothpaste, because toothpaste contains fine abrasive particles with high hardness, which are very fine but the hardness is as high as six or seven degrees (similar to that of crystal), so cleaning jewelry with toothpaste will damage the surface of gems with hardness lower than that of crystal, especially pearls, gold and K gold; Pearls are absolutely avoided.
Don't touch it often
Jewelry can be kept clean when worn. It seems simple, but it is not easy. Many people can't help touching the beautiful and charming surface of a gem, which will affect its luster and brightness.
From time to time, the human body excretes sweat and oil on the skin surface, and the hand is the most accessible part of the body, so the oil on the skin often pollutes the surface of the hand. When you touch a gem with your hand, the grease on your hand is easy to stay on the gem, which affects the luster and brightness of the gem. In particular, diamonds are lipophilic gems, and their surfaces are easily contaminated with grease, which greatly affects their luster. But both jade and white jade belong to aggregate structure, and frequent touching can make jade more moist and lovely.
3. Avoid contact with tap water to prevent damage to pearl luster.
Some people want to clean and maintain pearls after wearing them for several times, but they don't know that cleaning with tap water for a short time has little effect on jewelry, but if it is used to soak pearls, it is absolutely impossible. Because there is a fixed content of chlorine (c 1) in tap water, it will destroy the luster of pearl surface. In fact, mineral water is the best way to soak and wash pearls.
In addition, after wearing pearls, they should be cleaned and maintained before being sent to the bank safe deposit box, so as to avoid the discoloration of pearls caused by dirt accumulation for too long in the future. However, due to the low relative humidity, the conditions for storing cash and documents in bank safe deposit boxes are not suitable for tidal gems such as pearls and protein. So be sure to take it out every once in a while, soak it in water for maintenance and replenish humidity.
4, timely removal, namely maintenance.
The correct wearing of jewelry depends on people, things, times, places and things, but it may not be possible for busy modern people. But at least it is best to take it off when washing your hands, because some soaps contain different degrees of alkaline substances, which may cause a kind of damage to fragile gems over time, and the soap in soaps is also easy to get stuck in the gap of the ring, thus greatly affecting the luster and brightness of gems. Moreover, take a bath, do housework, swim, etc. It is also easy for gems to collide and get injured.
5. Use the ultrasonic cleaner carefully.
Ultrasonic cleaning machine does have a good cleaning effect on jewelry with K-gold gem and jewelry with K-gold cleaning function, especially for cleaning oil dirt and dust that can't be brushed off by the brush in the fine seam of gem. However, ultrasonic cleaning machine is not suitable for all gems, such as emeralds, pearls and other gems with special structures. Ultrasonic cleaning will destroy their structures and should be absolutely avoided. In addition, although the cleaning effect of ultrasonic cleaning machine is good, it is easy to use, so don't use it often. If it is used too frequently, it is easy to make the bit loose or even fall off because of repeated impact.
6. Pay attention to substances containing acids and bases.
Some substances we come into contact with in our daily life or food contain different concentrations of acid or alkali, which may damage precious stones, especially pearls; Or other organic gems. The use of cosmetics in daily life should try to avoid being polluted by jewelry.
Wear makeup and perfume before wearing jewelry on weekdays to avoid high-concentration cosmetics or perfume directly contacting the surface of jewelry. If you need to replenish perfume, you should also avoid spraying perfume directly on the surface of jewelry.
7. Pay attention to the order of jewelry wearing
When wearing jewelry or rings with pointed tips, you should avoid snagging clothes and wallets. If clothes are caught, the main stone will not fall off immediately. Generally speaking, the order of wearing jewelry is to put on clothes before wearing jewelry. Imagine putting the single diamond ring finger of prong setting on your hand, and then dressing and wearing stockings. Is it dangerous for clothes, stockings and gems?
There are many ways of setting jewelry. The safest way to insert jewelry without hooking clothes is to wrap it, but it wraps the whole waist, making it impossible for light to enter. And because the K-gold part is used more, the visual effect is not as attractive as the pointed inlay. Therefore, pointed inlay is still the most popular in the jewelry market, but pay attention to the order of wearing.
8. The magical use of small jewelry bags is with you.
You may have heard that some people took off their jewelry and put it on the sink, accidentally fell to the ground and got injured, or slipped into the sewer; Or forget about the sink and other events, in fact, this is nothing new, but such a crisis can be avoided.
When you buy jewelry, the jewelry store will give you a small jewelry box and put the jewelry in it to make it look beautiful. It's a pity that many people take out jewelry boxes and put them in drawers at home instead of using them. In fact, this small jewelry box has its own magical function. It's small and doesn't take up space, so it can be carried around. You can take off your ring and put it in a pearl box when you go out to wash your hands. If you develop this habit, you can greatly reduce the chance of losing jewelry rings. So don't bother, take a small ring box with you!
9. Check the jewelry carefully regularly.
Busy modern consumers often take off their jewelry after going home, put it in a jewelry box and take it out to wear next time they want to use it. Jewelry is recycled in this way. Maybe you seldom take the time to check it. Spending more time taking care of your jewelry can greatly reduce the crisis, such as whether the diamonds in jewelry are stable or not. Is the pearl necklace fastened securely? Is the elasticity of the middle lock of clip-on earrings reduced? Or is the screw in poor contact? ..... and so on.
