Jewellery Care Tips You’ll Actually Use
Most of us love the sparkle our jewellery has when it’s brand new. The sad part is that the shine doesn’t last long if we’re not a little careful with it. Over the years, I’ve noticed that a few simple habits make a surprisingly big difference — and none of them require any special products or effort.
Here’s what really helps:
Keep jewellery away from water and perfume
A lot of people don’t realise how quickly moisture dulls metal. Even perfume can slowly damage the finish. I always make it a rule to get done with perfume and lotions before I put anything on. It’s a tiny step but it saves the shine.
Store your pieces separately
One thing I learned the hard way is that dumping everything into one box guarantees scratches. Zip-lock pouches or soft cloth bags keep the metal from rubbing together, and they also slow down tarnish. It doesn’t have to look fancy — even simple plastic pouches work well.
Avoid wearing jewellery while exercising or cooking
Sweat, steam, oil, and heat… these are the silent enemies of jewellery. Rings and bracelets especially lose their polish when exposed to these things again and again. If I’m cooking or doing anything physical, I take everything off and keep it aside.
Wipe jewellery after use
When you remove your jewellery, just wipe it quickly with a soft cloth. It removes the sweat and dust that collect over the day. This tiny habit does more for long-term shine than most people realize.
Don’t leave jewellery in sunlight
Direct sunlight or heat often fades stones and weakens the polish. Keeping your pieces in a cool drawer or jewellery box is enough to avoid the problem.
Don’t mix different items in one place
Necklaces tangle easily, earrings scratch rings, and bracelets get dented. Keeping each piece separate may feel unnecessary at first, but it keeps everything looking newer for much longer.
Use anti-tarnish strips
If you keep your jewellery in a box, slipping an anti-tarnish strip inside helps absorb moisture. It’s a simple trick that slows down that dull, brownish look metals often get.
A small effort goes a long way
Jewellery doesn’t need special treatment — just a little attention. Even inexpensive pieces can look gorgeous for years if they’re stored and handled well.
And if you're looking for everyday accessories that are easy to maintain, Radhika Style Store has plenty of options that stay shiny longer than most fast-fashion jewellery.
