An Easy Formula On How To Clean Your Jewellery 

Visualise how your favourite jewellery looks. You may have seen someone you look up to wear a specific piece that stood out to you, or perhaps you noticed someone wearing a necklace or chain that caught your eye. When you notice these eye grabbing pieces, think about what it was about them that appealed to you so much. 

As you look back on the jewellery that caught your attention, you may recall how shiny and glowing the jewellery was. This is because the jewellery consisted of high materials as sub par materials never leave a good impression that stands out from the crowd. 

If you’ve been looking for a method to clean your jewellery, it may be because you’ve found that your jewellery has started to lose its shine over time.

Today, we’re going to discuss how to purchase jewellery that always shines and doesn’t need constant care. After that, we will discuss the best ways to clean your jewellery when you want that extra shine before you leave your home. 

Why Stainless Steel Makes for Great Jewellery 

Below par jewellery often looks quite disappointing. If you often notice that your jewellery looks unclean and dirty, unfortunately, it’s generally because they're poor quality. Giving them a clean may help return some of its shine, but you’ll find yourself purchasing the same jewellery pieces over and over again just to ensure they’re glowing, which is obviously not cost effective and time consuming.

When you want jewellery that maintains its shine, your best option is to look for high quality materials. At SANT LECLÈRE, we ensure all of our jewellery has multiple layers of 18K gold plating and various protective coatings such as rhodium to ensure the metals don't wear, tear and tarnish. This will allow you to wear your favourite pieces at all times without having to be concerned about them losing their new look. 

This level of protection is perfect for long term use. Our pieces are heat-proof, sweat-proof, and water-proof, making them an ideal everyday accessory for wherever you chose to wear them. 

What if I Need to Clean My Chains? 

If you already have poor quality jewellery and have worn them for some time, they more than likely looks tarnished and worn already, even after a few wears. Cleaning this quality of jewellery can help reduce some of the dirt and tarnishing in some cases. If you have high quality jewellery that needs a clean, you can be sure that they will look like new once cleaned with our recommended method below. 

How To Clean Jewellery

Cleaning your jewellery is much easier than you might think. You may already have some of these staple items in your household already.

Try this cleaning method below to make your pieces looking fresh again:

1. Apply Baking Soda

If you have baking soda in your kitchen, this will leave your jewellery looking great again. 

1. Add a cup of water to two scoops of baking soda to create a paste.
2. Apply the past to your jewellery and leave it to dry.
3. Once dried, clean your jewellery with water and dry them with a microfiber towel.

2. The Toothpaste Method

If you don’t have baking soda, not to worry, you can use toothpaste instead. 

1. Select a non-whitening toothpaste and apply some onto a toothbrush. 
2. Gently scrub your jewellery using the toothbrush.
3. Rinse and clean your jewellery and allow it to dry naturally or dry with a microfiber towel.

How To Ensure Your Jewelry Looks Amazing 

Well looked after jewellery looks so much better than dirty tarnished jewellery. 

Cleaning your jewellery isn't an absolute necessity to have incredible looking glowing pieces. There are additional things you can do to ensure your favourite jewellery looks its best at all times.

Store Your Jewellery Correctly

It’s important that once you're done with your jewellery for the day that you give them a quick clean with a cloth and store it in a dry and safe environment such as a jewellery pouch. 

Leaving them out where they are exposed to moisture can impact their overall appearance and shine. Treat your favourite jewellery well and they will last you a lifetime.
