Care Tips For Keeping Your Jewelry Beautiful!
1. Get checkups. At least once a year, take your jewelry to Nash Jewelry for inspection and cleaning. We will check for loose settings, worn prongs and other potential problems. Ask for tips on how to clean your jewelry at home between visits.
2. Clean regularly. Clean your jewelry at home to avoid dirt buildup that can increase wear, but use precaution. It is always best to use warm water mixed with sudsy ammonia. Use a half and half mixture. Lightly brush with a soft tooth brush to remove any dirt or soap build up.. Stay away from sinks and drains. Never put Emeralds, Opals, Pearls and Tanzanite this solution.
3. Don’t wait. If you see a loose stone or a prong that is worn or catches on fabric, it could lead to a lost stone. Take the piece to Nash Jewelry and have it checked immediately.
4. Store gently. When you’re not wearing your jewelry, place each item in a separate soft compartment or container. Storing jewelry cluttered together can cause scratches. Never hang necklaces as that can cause them to stretch. Be careful when using ring holders or jewelry dishes as these tend to stack rings on top of each other, which can cause damage.
5. Go easy. Diamonds are among the hardest materials on earth, but they can chip if struck at the right angle. Don’t risk a damaged engagement ring. For any potentially high-impact activity, store your ring safely on the sidelines.
6. Insure it. Be sure to get jewelry insurance with coverage that is right for you, so if you do experience theft, loss or damage, you’re covered. Your peace of mind is worth it.
Keep your jewelry safe and sound while traveling.
Your jewelry is part of you, so leaving it behind may not be an option. Whether you’re a jet-setter or weekend road-tripper, here are some helpful safety tips from your travel-savvy friends at Nash Jewelry Company.
Choose wisely. Pack light and take only the jewelry you’ll wear while traveling and at your destination. The 4-carat diamond ring you save for special occasions?
Probably not. The pearls that go with everything? Definitely. Make a list. List all the jewelry you’ll take with you. Make two copies. Take one copy with you and store it separately from your jewelry.
Leave the other copy at home. Also helpful: take pictures or a video of your jewelry. Carry it on. Never put jewelry in checked baggage. Instead, wear it or stow it in your carry on bag. If you wear it, take extra care by slipping a pendant inside a sweater or turning your ring so only the band shows.
Keep it with you. Put your jewelry in a favorite bag you’ll carry while traveling. Don’t leave your jewelry in an unattended car or suitcase. When checking into your hotel or condo, don’t hand your jewelry bag to hotel staff. Carry it personally. Use the safe. Always store jewelry in the hotel safe when not wearing it. Insure it.
