How to Take Care of Your Jewelry in the Summer

How to Take Care of Your Jewelry in the Summer
Taking care of your jewelry is important during every season. However, your jewelry might require some extra care in the summer. Here are some tips for how to best take care of your jewelry in the summer.

Know When to Take Your Jewelry Off

No one likes to take their jewelry off, but sometimes it’s the best thing you can do. Jewelry is easily lost in bodies of water, so consider removing it before heading out for a swim. Chlorine is especially damaging to precious metals, such as gold and platinum. 

It’s also helpful to take your jewelry off before applying sunscreen and lotions. These products can leave a film on your jewelry that makes it look dingy. Don’t worry too much though -- we can shine your treasures up to make them look as good as new! 

Maintain a Cleaning Routine

Sand, water, and sunscreen exposure can cause your jewelry to need some extra cleaning. To keep it looking its best, maintain a regular jewelry cleaning routine. At Koser Jewelers, we offer jewelry cleaning at any time at no charge. You can also clean your jewelry at home with warm water and a soft brush or cloth.

Store Your Jewelry Safely

If you plan to go on trips without your treasures (or even head out for a day), make sure your jewelry is stored safely! Don’t leave it in an obvious place where anyone could find it and be sure to have everything insured (just in case). 

It’s also important to keep your items stored separately to prevent damage. Necklaces can easily tangle around other items, rings can scratch one another, and earrings can get mixed up and lost. To avoid these issues, find a jewelry box with separate compartments for each piece.
