Jewellery Cleaning Tips
It is important to keep up with cleaning your jewellery as dirty, unkempt jewelry can be a safe haven for bacteria, this can lead to skin irritation, discoloration and degradation of the metals. Dirt and debris can also lead to gemstones becoming scratched.
At Austen Jewellers we offer free professional cleaning on any purchase made!
However, if you are in a bind here are a few on-the-spot cleaning hacks you can perform at home to keep your jewellery in tip-top shape!
Rings - Create a mixture of a few drops of Dawn dish detergent in warm water. Let the piece sit in the solution for a few minutes, then gently scrub with a soft toothbrush. Rinse the item in a new container of lukewarm water and set to dry on a clean paper towel.
Necklace’s - Grab that Dawn again! Soak your necklace for at least 15-minutes in a few drops mixed into warm water. Rinse your necklace using clean, cool water immediately after and layout over a clean paper towel and pat dry with a clean cloth.
Watches - Check out this video and learn how to clean all types of watches. Remember tho, after you had a battery replaced in your watch, your watch is NO LONGER water-resistant & we do not suggest wearing this in the water!
Keeping Your Jewellery Safe at Home
Jewellery is often extremely important to us whether it is an heirloom, a present or a reward we gifted ourselves, we truly treasure these pieces. Did you know even at home jewellery can get broken or lost?
Here are some tips and tricks to keeping your jewellery guarded:
Remove rings before washing hands or doing dishes - a jewellery tree can come in handy here!
Remove your jewellery while you sleep - your jewellery is crushed, yanked and stretched while you sleep this causes undue stress and wear and tear.
Be mindful of children and pets - children may see jewellery as a toy and yank or put it in their mouth. Pets such as dogs may jump up and get caught in necklaces causing them to break.
Keep jewellery in designated organizers
Of course, sometimes life just happens and jewellery gets broken. If this happens remember, we are here for you! At Austen Jewellers we offer on-site repairs.
