KNOW Your

JEWELS

Like all things precious and sentimental, jewellery too requires frequent personal care and attention to preserve and protect them from damage.

It’s important therefore to know your jewellery and be familiar with care tips, that will ensure your jewellery lasts a lifetime.

Gold - Caring For Your Treasure

• Gold has been treasured for centuries across the world.

• You can ensure every piece of gold jewellery becomes a timeless treasure handed down through the generations, by caring for it appropriately.

Here are a few tips that ensure your gold jewellery looks as good as the day you bought it:

• Gold is a soft metal, so contact with hard surfaces can scratch it and reduce lustre. Ensure your jewellery is not scratched.

• Storing gold jewellery in a soft cloth, ensures it does not get tangled.• Keep gold away from dust, make-up, perspiration and moisture, by washing your hands after

applying make-up, and before wearing gold jewellery.• Bathing with jewellery on, causes a thin film of soap and water to form on it, making it look dull and

drab.• Remove gold jewellery before swimming, as the chlorine in the water could harm it.• Cleaning solutions especially recommended for jewellery, is the best way to keep jewellery clean.• Gold jewellery can also be rinsed in a mild detergent diluted in warm water. After cleaning, it should

be dried and polished with a soft cloth.• A soft bristled brush can be used to clean intricately crafted jewellery.• Periodically look for loose clasps or links and get a reputed jeweller to set things right, before you

lose the piece.• Store gold jewellery in small individual pouches or boxes. If you are storing more than one piece

together, ensure each piece is individually wrapped in tissue paper.• Get jewellery professionally cleaned once a year
