4 Simple Ways to Protect Your Jewellery This Summer
4 Simple Ways to Protect Your Jewellery This Summer
Summer means more time at the beach, on the lake, and outdoors,
but it can also be one of the toughest seasons for your jewellery. Here are a few easy ways to help keep your favourite pieces looking their best.
Take it off before swimming
Whether you’re heading to the pool, lake, or hot tub, it’s a good idea to remove your jewellery first. Chlorine and salt water can be tough on certain metals, and cold water can make rings fit more loosely than usual.
PUT LOTION & SUNSCREEN ON FIRST
Sunscreen and lotions can leave a film on diamonds and gemstones, making them lose some of their sparkle. Apply your sunscreen first, let it absorb, then put your jewellery on.
Think twice before wearing jewellery to the beach
Sand can be surprisingly abrasive, and it’s easy for rings or earrings to disappear into the water. If you’re spending the day at the beach, consider leaving your favourite pieces somewhere safe.
GIVE YOUR JEWELLERY A HOME
One of the easiest ways to avoid losing jewellery is to always put it in the same place when you take it off. Whether it’s your bedside table, a jewellery dish, or a travel case, having one designated spot means you’re much less likely to tuck it into a pocket or bag and forget where you left it.
A travel jewellery case is a great way to keep your favourite pieces protected and organized, whether you’re at home or away.
A little extra care goes a long way. Whether you’re spending the day at the lake, travelling, or simply enjoying the sunshine, taking a few moments to protect your jewellery will help you enjoy it for many years to come.
