Jewelry Care Tips: Keep Artificial Jewelry Shining

Every woman wants her artificial jewelry to last as long as possible. With proper care, even affordable (affordable) rings and sets can stay shiny for years. Follow these 5 expert tips from Mehriva Jewels to maintain your collection's brilliance.

1. Keep Away from Water and Perfume

The number one enemy of artificial jewelry in Pakistan is humidity and chemicals. Always apply perfume, lotion, or hairspray before wearing your jewelry. Chemicals react with the plating and cause it to darken. Never shower or wash your hands with your artificial rings on.

2. Store in Airtight Containers

Exposure to air causes metal to oxidize and tarnish. Instead of leaving them on a dresser, use premium gift boxes or small zip-lock bags to store each piece separately. This also prevents scratching when pieces rub against each other.

3. The "Last On, First Off" Rule

Your jewelry should be the last thing you put on when getting ready and the first thing you take off when you get home. This prevents it from getting caught on your clothes and limits its exposure to sweat and skin oils.

4. Clean Gently with a Soft Cloth

After a long night at a wedding, gently wipe your jewelry with a microfiber cloth to remove any sweat or oils before storing it. Never use harsh cleaners or toothpaste—this will strip the gold plating immediately!

5. Separate Gold and Silver

Store your gold-plated and silver-plated pieces in different compartments. Different metals can react with each other and cause faster tarnishing. Using separate slots in a jewelry organizer is the best way to keep your bracelets and bangles safe.
