Here are some tips to keep your jewelry in top shape this season.
1. Avoid sand and salt : Although Moissanite is one of the hardest materials known and sand is unlikely to effect it abrasion is still possible on the mounting surfaces of a ring or necklace. If you're wearing your jewelry at the beach avoid the buildup of sand or salt around these mounting surfaces. Keep a soft bristle brush or two handy to gently clear away any buildup that may occur on these surfaces.
2. Avoid Lotions or harsh chemicals : Although unlikely to effect the metal or stones themselves lotions can cause your jewelry to temporarily lose some of it's sparkle and shine. I don't know anyone who wants less sparkle on their jewelry so they are best avoided around your pieces! Keep a delicate cloth handy to wipe your jewelry down as needed.
3. Avoid colder water : This one may seem a little less obvious but this tip is designed so you don't lose your favorite jewelry! Don't forget that your finger does actually shrink a bit when exposed to colder water and this could cause you to actually lose a ring that you really love! Especially when you're busy playing in the ocean and not paying close attention.
4. Cleaning : After your day at the beach don't forget to give your jewelry some love and a nice cleaning. Place your jewelry in a warm mild detergent and water mixture and let sit for about 10 minutes. Then gently brush your jewelry with a soft bristle toothbrush to remove any grains of sand or elements prior to drying. For more tips on cleaning see our tips.
