12 Common Jewellery mistakes

Something as precious as jewellery can get harmed and lose their value with some mistakes we often do.

Here are 12 mistakes we should do not with jewellery:

1. Unaware of the material used in the jewellery: A customer should be aware of the material used in the jewellery. The jeweller is obliged to provide the information.
2.  Wearing the same jewellery every day: Wearing the same every day makes it dirty in places that are not easily seen. Collection of dirt can lead to infections.
3. Lack of information before making a purchase: Lack of information about the jewellery may lead to paying too much for a simple piece.
4. Not clasping necklaces before storing: Storing necklaces improperly leads to tangling and ultimately breaking of the chains.
5. Not Cleaning the Jewellery: This a mistake that is very common and leads to skin infections.
6. Using harsh cleaning methods: Jewellery should never be cleaned with harsh cleansers, or scrubbers. It can lead to irreversible erosion.
7. Wearing jewellery while swimming: Wearing jewellery while swimming leads to erosion of metal and stones.
8. Buying Jewellery from Cheap Retail Chain Stores: There are stores that sell jewellery at lesser cost because they are not proficient enough in making and maintaining the jewellery.
9. Not choosing the right jewel: The ‘right jewel’ is meant in terms of matching with the body structure, for example a necklace for the neckline.
10. Not choosing the right ring size: This a mistake that can lead to painful finger and hence ring size should be chosen carefully.
11. Not storing the jewellery properly: Jewellery should be stored away from, humidity, free flowing air to avoid erosion and dirt.
12. Having an Unartistic Taste: Jewellery is to enhance beauty and hence the customer should have a good choice, to make the right purchase.

These mistakes if avoided can make the jewellery collection; beautiful, clean and erosion free.
