Did you know that the way you care for your jewelry changes with the seasons? That's right, each season has its own set of rules. Here are four simple cleaning tips to keep your jewelry safe and gleaming this summer!

Keep your jewelry away from chlorine and saltwater.

It's usually a safe idea to leave your jewelry at home if you're going swimming. Chlorine in swimming pools and saltwater in the ocean are also hard on metals and can harm or discolor them. They'll eat away at the finish and dull the polish of gemstones over time.

Remember that heat causes your fingers to swell, but they will contract until you jump into the cold water. Furthermore, when you're near the sea, it's really likely to lose your jewelry.

Take jewelry off before having outdoor activities

It's a safe idea to wear sunscreen and bug spray while going out in the summer. Both sunscreen and bug spray, on the other hand, will create an annoying buildup on your jewelry, making it appear dull and dim. If you don't want to have to clean your jewelry too much this summer, take it off after you've decided whether or not you'll be wearing sunscreen or bug spray.

Furthermore, many outdoor activities can endanger your jewelry. Gardening and sports activities can cause your jewelry to be scratched, bumped, or dented. Take off your jewelry before playing sports or doing things like gardening or yard work to protect it from cosmetic and structural issues.

How to clean for Your Jewelry

When cleaning your jewelry on your own, be cautious to prevent harm or mistakes. Most gemstones can be washed with a soft toothbrush and warm soapy water. If you don't have any special metal cleaners, you can clean gold with diluted Windex, and metal with a solution of saleratus.

When polishing jewelry with gemstones, always be cautious, as certain polishing solutions and pastes may be too abrasive for delicate or porous gems. Before storing your jewelry, make sure it's completely dry and buff it with a polishing cloth.
