To preserve the polish for a longer time, it is advisable to store the Jewellery in an airtight container always. It can be anything such as the box or a zip lock, the only condition is the container to be airtight. You can also wrap the Jewellery with a soft cloth to maintain the shine and the quality of the pearls.

4. Avoid wearing in certain situations

Avoid wearing Jewellery when going out for a demanding activity such as gyming, sports, cooking, cycling, etc. Not only the Jewellery can get damaged but the Jewellery may slip out from your body without you noticing it such as rings and earrings. Also do not wear it when you know you are going to places where there would be extreme heat and light. Bright sunlight can dull out the color of the gemstone and it will lose its fresh look. 

5. Always wear your Jewellery last

While dressing yourself up, keep in your mind to wear the Jewellery at the last. This is because while dressing we use make-up, cosmetics, perfumes, lotions, etc. on our body. The chemical compositions of these items are harmful to the metals because they react with the metal and can cause damage. 

If you are planning to buy an engagement ring, we recommend Hatton gardens engagement rings because they provide all the side accessories required for a ring. Along with that, if the value of any good is way too high, it is advisable to purchase some insurance or keep it always in a secure place.
