1, don't wash jewelry with toothpaste.
There is a saying in the jewelry circle that brushing jewelry with a toothbrush dipped in toothpaste can make these jewelry as bright as new. It is necessary to clean jewelry, but toothpaste is not ideal, because toothpaste contains fine abrasive particles with high hardness. These particles are very fine but the hardness is as high as 6 or 7 degrees (similar to crystal). Therefore, cleaning jewelry with toothpaste will damage the surface of gems with hardness lower than that of crystal, especially pearls, gold and gold, and pearls are absolutely to be avoided. The most correct cleaning solution should be diluted neutral surfactant, such as salad dressing and baby shampoo.
Tap water will spoil the luster of pearls.
Some people want to clean and maintain pearls after wearing them for several times, but they don't know that cleaning with tap water for a short time has little effect on jewelry, but if it is used to soak pearls, it is absolutely impossible. Because there is a fixed content of chlorine (C 1) in tap water, it will destroy the luster of pearl surface. In fact, mineral water is the best way to soak and wash pearls.
In addition, after wearing pearls, they should be cleaned and maintained before being put into the safe, so as to avoid the accumulation of dirt for too long in the future and cause the pearls to change color. Besides, the storage conditions of the safe for keeping cash and documents are not suitable for tidal gems such as pearls, such as pearls and protein, so they must be taken out every once in a while, soaked in water for maintenance and supplemented with humidity.
Don't touch jewelry often.
Jewelry can be kept clean when worn. It seems simple, but it is not easy. Many people can't help touching the surface of a gem when they see its beauty and charm. This will actually affect the luster and brightness of the gem.
From time to time, the human body excretes sweat and oil on the skin surface, and the hand is the most accessible body part, so the oil on the skin often pollutes the surface of the hand. When you touch a gem with your hand, the grease on your hand is easy to stay on the gem, which affects the luster and brightness of the gem. In particular, diamonds are lipophilic gems, and their surfaces are easily contaminated with grease, which greatly affects their luster. But both jade and white jade belong to aggregate structure, and frequent touching can make jade more moist and lovely.
4, timely removal, namely maintenance.
The correct wearing of jewelry depends on people, things, times, places and things, but it may not be possible for busy modern people. But at least it is best to take it off when washing your hands, because some soaps contain different degrees of alkaline substances, which may cause a kind of damage to fragile gems over time, and the soap in soaps is also easy to get stuck in the gap of the ring, thus greatly affecting the luster and brightness of gems. Moreover, take a bath, do housework, swim, etc. It is also easy to cause gemstone collision and injury.
5. Pay attention to substances containing acids and bases.
Some substances we come into contact with in our daily life or food contain different concentrations of acid or alkali, and these different concentrations of acid and alkali chemicals may damage precious stones, especially pearls or other organic precious stones. The use of cosmetics in daily life should try to avoid being polluted by jewelry. Wear makeup and perfume before wearing jewelry on weekdays to avoid high-concentration cosmetics or perfume directly contacting the surface of jewelry. If you need to replenish perfume, you should also avoid spraying perfume directly on the surface of jewelry.
6, pay attention to the jewelry wearing order
When wearing jewelry or rings with pointed tips, you should avoid snagging clothes and wallets. If clothes are caught, the main stone will not fall off immediately, but it will also damage the mosaic structure. Generally speaking, the order of wearing jewelry is to put on clothes before wearing jewelry. There are many ways of setting jewelry. The safest way to insert jewelry without hooking clothes is to wrap it, but it wraps the whole waist, making it impossible for light to enter. And because the K-gold part is used more, the visual effect is not as attractive as the pointed inlay. Therefore, pointed inlay is still the most popular in the jewelry market, but pay attention to the order of wearing. _
7. The magical use of small jewelry bags is with you.

8. Use ultrasonic cleaning machine with caution.
Ultrasonic cleaning machine does have a good cleaning effect on K-gold gemstone jewelry and jewelry with K-gold cleaning function, especially for cleaning the oil dirt and dust that can't be brushed off by the brush in the tiny gaps of gemstones. However, ultrasonic cleaning machine is not suitable for all gemstones, such as emeralds, pearls and other gemstones with special structures. Ultrasonic cleaning will destroy their structures, so it is absolutely avoided. In addition, although the cleaning effect of ultrasonic cleaning machine is good, it is easy to use, so don't use it often. If it is used too frequently, it is easy to make the bit loose or even fall off because of repeated impact.
9. Check the jewelry carefully regularly.
Busy consumers often take off their jewelry after returning home, put it in a jewelry box and take it out to wear next time they want to use it. Jewelry is recycled in this way, so you may spend little time and energy on it. Spending more time taking care of your jewelry can greatly reduce the crisis, such as whether the diamonds in the jewelry are stable or not, whether the pearl necklace is fastened, whether the elasticity of the middle card of the clip-on earrings is reduced, or whether the screws are poorly contacted.
