Caring for Your May Birthstone Jewellery
Proper care and maintenance are essential for preserving the beauty and longevity of your emerald birthstone jewellery.
By following a few simple care tips, you can ensure that your May birthstone jewellery remains a cherished part of your collection for years to come.
- Regular Cleaning: Gently clean your emerald jewellery with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove any oils or dirt. For a deeper clean, use a mild soap and warm water solution. Soak the piece for a couple of minutes, then gently scrub with a soft toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a clean cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Keep your emerald jewellery away from harsh chemicals, including household cleaners, perfumes, and lotions. These substances can tarnish the silver and dull the emerald's sparkle. Always put on your jewellery last when getting ready to minimize exposure.
- Proper Storage: Store your Emerald Birthstone Jewellery in a cool, dry place. Use a jewellery box with separate compartments or a soft pouch to prevent scratches and tangling. Consider using anti-tarnish strips in your storage area to help maintain the silver’s shine.
- Wear with Care: Remove your jewellery before engaging in activities that could damage it, such as swimming, exercising, or doing household chores. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
- Professional Cleaning: You can also send your piece to us once a year for a small cost. We can check for any loose stones, signs of wear, and perform any necessary repairs to keep your piece in excellent condition.
By following these care tips, you can ensure that your Emerald May Birthstone Jewellery will remain a treasured and beautiful accessory for years to come.
