Your jewellery stays with you more than your phone charger. It’s there for the messy buns, the midnight cravings, the spontaneous selfies, and the moments that actually matter. That sparkle isn’t just decoration, it’s part of your daily armour. If it’s living your life, it deserves a little love in return.
After all, the pieces you reach for every day deserve to look like you just unboxed them yesterday. So, if you want your favourites to keep turning heads and catching the light, here are the real jewellery care tips every style-forward soul should know.
10 Jewellery Care Tips That Keep Your Sparkle Intact
From delicate heirlooms to bold everyday pieces, every jewel in your collection deserves thoughtful care. These jewellery care tips will help you protect the shine, shape, and sentiment of each piece, so they continue to turn heads, year after year.
1. Clean Your Jewellery the Right Way
We know the temptation, a quick rub on your kurti or a rinse under the tap. But real care takes a gentler route.
Most jewellery can be cleaned with a soft cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh cleaners, especially on pearls or gemstones; they deserve better.
For earrings, especially, residue from skin oils, makeup, and hair products can dull their shine over time. A soft brush and a touch of soapy water go a long way. Rinse gently and pat dry.
2. Handle With (Stylish) Care
Our jewels are made for everyday sparkle, and a touch of care keeps them shining. Avoid pulling, tugging, or dropping them onto hard surfaces. Take off rings before heavy lifting (like grocery bags or life decisions).
And if you’re layering necklaces or stacking rings, make sure the pieces aren’t rubbing against each other. Your bling loves company, but not collisions.

3. Store Smart (And Cute)
Storing your jewellery right is one of the most underrated jewellery care tips. Keep pieces in individual pouches or compartments to avoid scratches. No more tangled chains or missing earrings,
If it's silver, store it with anti-tarnish strips. Store pearls in soft cloth only. And gold? In a velvet pouch, it prevents scratches and keeps the shine intact.

4. Keep Away from Chemicals (Even the Fancy Ones)
Perfume? Yes. Perfume on your necklace? Big no. Think about it, we all spritz perfume, smooth on lotion, mist our face, or run a quick shot of hairspray with our jewellery on. But those daily habits? They’re silent sparkle-killers. Spritz before you wear your jewels, not after. Hairspray, lotion, sanitiser, even fancy face mists, they all team up against your shine.
Chlorine and saltwater can especially damage metal finishes and loosen stones. So, pool parties are fine, just leave your jewellery in the sun lounger (pun intended).
5. Rotate Your Favourites
We know you love that one pendant. But over-wearing the same piece every day exposes it to more wear and tear. Show your full collection some love and let each piece shine in turn. Besides, matching your jewellery to your mood? That’s peak Kumari or girlhood.
A Piece Worth the Pause:
The Blossom Pearl Statement Pendant brings quiet drama to any outfit. And with proper rotation and rest, it’ll keep making statements for years.
6. Check Clasps and Settings Regularly
A loose clasp or a wobbly stone? Not something to ignore. A quick self-check once a month can save you heartbreak. Especially with intricate pieces like chokers or multi-stone rings, a little vigilance goes a long way. Spot an issue? Get it fixed before it becomes a disaster.
7. Professional Care for Lasting Beauty
Every few years, it's wise to have your jewellery professionally inspected. An expert can check for loose stone settings, tighten clasps, and perform a deep clean to restore your piece to its original condition. This proactive approach ensures your most cherished pieces remain secure and beautiful for years to come.
Crafted for Forever Moments
Made to mark milestones, the Infinite Cycle Diamond Bracelet is a piece you’ll wear on repeat, and a little professional care will keep it looking flawless, always.
8. Don’t Sleep in Your Jewellery (No Matter How Cute It Looks)
We know that the ring is comfy, and those hoops feel like a second skin. But sleeping with jewellery can cause accidental tugging, bending, or worse, breakage. Let your pieces rest while you do. They’ll thank you by staying fabulous longer.
9. Travel With Care (But Don’t Leave the Sparkle Behind)
Yes, take that necklace on your girls’ trip. But no, don’t toss it into your makeup pouch. Invest in a cute, compact jewellery case, something with compartments, padding, and space for your favourite travel-friendly pieces.
Also, pack keeping outfits in mind so you’re not tempted to bring your entire collection. (We know, it’s hard.)

10. Make Care a Ritual, Not a Chore
Caring for yourjewellerydoesn’t have to feel like a task. Make it part of your weekend wind-down or your morning routine. It’s self-care for your sparkle, and you deserve nothing less. The more mindful you are, the longer your pieces will glow.
