Introduction:
The monsoon season brings refreshing rains and a break from the summer heat, but it also brings increased humidity and moisture, which can affect your precious jewellery. At Ambika Jewellers, we understand the importance of keeping your jewellery in pristine condition, even during the challenging monsoon months. Here are some essential tips to help you maintain your jewellery and keep it sparkling throughout the rainy season.

Store Jewellery Properly
Use Airtight ContainersHumidity can cause metals to tarnish and gemstones to lose their shine. To protect your jewellery from moisture, store it in airtight containers. This will help prevent exposure to humid air and keep your pieces looking new.
Silica Gel Packets Including silica gel packets in your jewellery storage can help absorb excess moisture. These packets are readily available and can be placed in your jewellery boxes or pouches to maintain a dry environment.
Separate StorageStore different types of jewellery separately to avoid scratches and tangling. Use soft cloth pouches or individual compartments within your jewellery box. This is especially important for delicate pieces like chains and pendants.
Regular Cleaning
Gentle Cleaning Solutions Clean your jewellery regularly to remove dirt and grime that can accumulate during the monsoon. Use a mild soap solution and a soft brush to gently clean your jewellery. Avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the metal or stones.
Dry Thoroughly
After cleaning, ensure your jewellery is completely dry before storing it. Use a soft cloth to pat dry and leave the pieces out for a while to air dry completely. Moisture left on the jewellery can cause tarnishing and discoloration.
Protecting Metal Jewellery
Anti-Tarnish Strips For silver and other metals prone to tarnishing, use anti-tarnish strips in your storage containers. These strips help reduce tarnish by absorbing pollutants and moisture from the air.
Regular PolishingPolish your metal jewellery regularly to maintain its shine. Use a soft polishing cloth specifically designed for jewellery. This will help remove any tarnish and keep your pieces looking bright.
Caring for Gemstones
Avoid Direct Water Contact While some gemstones can withstand water, others are more delicate. Avoid exposing gemstone jewellery to direct water contact during the monsoon. Water can seep into the settings and cause the stones to become loose.
Check SettingsRegularly inspect the settings of your gemstone jewellery. Humidity can sometimes loosen the stones. If you notice any loose settings, bring your jewellery to Ambika Jewellers for professional maintenance and repair.
Special Care for Pearls
Avoid Humidity
Pearls are particularly sensitive to humidity and moisture. Store them in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight. Use a soft, damp cloth to clean your pearls and avoid submerging them in water. Wear Often Interestingly, pearls benefit from being worn. The natural oils from your skin help maintain their luster. However, be sure to wipe them clean after each wear to remove any residue.
