How to care for fashion jewelry rings

Fashion jewelry, including rings, even if it is of high quality, will never be as durable as fine jewelry. However, wearing jewelry, as it is often called, allows you to follow fashion and the latest trends without costing you a fortune. Even expensive fine jewelry won’t last forever without proper care and attention.

Proper care will prolong the life of your jewelry. Keeping jewelry away from chemicals, lotions, water, and perfumes as much as possible will prolong the life of your fashion jewelry. When using cleaners, be sure to read the label directions and that the cleaner does not contain chemicals that are harmful to the materials your jewelry is made of, for example, gold, silver, aluminum, chrome, pearls, or gems. Also avoid soap and water, as most soaps will leave a residue that can make the metal look dull. Vinegar is harmful to gemstones. Using a very soft cloth dampened with water is fine, but do not fully submerge the item. Make sure your jewelry is completely dry before wearing or storing it.

Here are some tips for storage.

1) Moisture is the most important thing to avoid and it can destroy metals. Store it in a soft jewelry bag or plastic Ziploc bag

2) Avoid temperature changes as this can affect the setting of the stone and the glue used.

3) Dress separately from other items to prevent scratching and stones from falling off.

4) Avoid oak boxes and cabinets as this wood can release fumes that can damage fashion jewelry.

5) Avoid cardboard boxes as they are often treated with sulfur which will tarnish gold and silver.

Following the tips above will greatly extend the shine and life of your fashion jewelry and rings.
