How to take care of your jewelry.

Jewels are not indestructible! If used and not locked in a safe, they may suffer normal wear and tear over time. But by storing them properly we can preserve their beauty and integrity over time.

In this guide we will see how to preserve your jewels and some external factors that could ruin them.

There are several factors that can ruin jewelry over time, including:

• Chlorinated water : Exposure of jewelry to chlorinated water, such as that in swimming pools, can ruin metal parts and precious stones. So if you go to the swimming pool, remember to remove rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets, placing them in the case that Nappa Gioielli gives you when you purchase each jewel.
• Chemicals : Exposure to chemicals, such as perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products, can cause damage to jewelry, especially jewelry with gemstones. So remember to use them before wearing your jewelry.
• Moisture : Moisture can cause tarnish to form on metal jewelry, especially silver jewelry.
• Direct sunlight : Exposure to direct sunlight can fade the colors of gemstones and especially enamel jewelry.
• Friction : Friction can cause scratches and wear on jewelry, especially those with softer surfaces, such as pearls. It is in fact important not to use jewelery when playing sports and at night. Never wear earrings during the night, especially. The involuntary movements of sleep, in addition to ruining your jewelry, cause the enlargement of your hole until it breaks.

It is important to store jewelery appropriately. Avoid placing them in places exposed to direct sunlight, humidity and excessive heat. Instead, store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in a separate jewelry box or bag. When purchasing any jewel on nappagioielli.it or at our Boutique in Via Filangieri 65 - Naples, in addition to the original box of the brand purchased, you will be delivered a colored velvet case to best preserve your jewels even when traveling .

When cleaning jewelry at home, avoid using harsh detergents or harsh chemicals. Instead, use warm water and a mild cleanser, using a soft toothbrush to remove stubborn grime. Alternatively, you can use a soft, dry cloth, the one for cleaning glasses is perfect, to remove dust and surface residues.

For more delicate jewelry, such as those with precious stones, contact us or a trusted jeweler for cleaning and maintenance. Additionally, it is important to check your jewelry regularly to make sure there are no broken or damaged parts.

Our advice is to professionally clean your jewelery at least once a year. If one of your jewels is broken or damaged too much, consult our repair service.

In summary, taking care of jewelry requires constant attention and care, but the result will definitely be worth it. By storing your jewelry properly and cleaning it regularly, you can preserve its beauty and value for many years to come.
