First, avoid chemical erosion. Cosmetics, perfumes, hair sprays, etc. used daily contain chemical ingredients that will react with the golden surface, causing fading or losing luster. It is recommended to complete makeup before wearing jewelry and wait until the skin care products and cosmetics are completely absorbed before wearing them. In addition, cleaning supplies such as detergents and disinfectants can also damage jewelry. They should be removed in advance when doing housework or cleaning work.
Secondly, you must master the correct cleaning method. After long-term wear, the surface of the jewelry will be contaminated with sweat, oil and dust, affecting the luster. When cleaning, use a soft brush to dip it in diluted neutral soapy water and gently brush it, then rinse it with clean water, and then suck the water dry with a soft cotton cloth. Be careful to avoid using toothpaste, alcohol and other irritating cleaners, which may wear out the golden coating or corrode the metal. For styles with gems inlaid, be extra careful to prevent gems from loosening and falling off. The cleaning frequency is recommended once a month, and if worn frequently, it can be appropriately increased.
Furthermore, protective measures must be taken during storage. When not wearing it, four sets of jewelry should be stored separately to avoid friction and scratching the surface. Each piece of jewelry can be placed in a separate soft cloth bag or jewelry box. It is best to place moisture-proof agents in the jewelry box to prevent oxidation and discoloration in humid environments. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid exposing jewelry to direct sunlight or high temperature environments. Long-term high temperatures will cause the metal texture to become brittle and affect the service life.
In addition, regular inspections and maintenance are also important. During the wearing process, the connections of the jewelry may appear loose, such as the buckle of the necklace, the ear needle of the earring, etc. It is recommended to inspect it once a quarter and send it to professional institutions for repair when it is found. If there are slight scratches on the surface of the jewelry, you can go to a professional jewelry store for polishing to restore the original luster.
Finally, pay attention to the details during daily wear. When performing vigorous exercise, swimming or taking a hot spring bath, jewelry should be removed to avoid corrosion of the metal by the salt in sweat and the chlorine in water. When wearing, you should also avoid collision with hard objects to prevent jewelry from deforming or shattering of gems.
In short, the maintenance of golden four-piece jewelry requires patience and care. Only by avoiding chemicals, properly cleaning, properly storing, regular inspections and paying attention to daily details can these beauties keep their brilliance and accompanying us through more wonderful times.
