Jewelry Care & Longevity

Traditional ethnic jewelry is often a mix of precious metals, gemstones, and delicate craftsmanship. To ensure your pieces last for generations, proper maintenance is essential.

1. The Gold Standard of Storage

Never store your jewelry in plastic bags or airtight containers for long periods, as moisture can get trapped and cause tarnishing. Instead, use velvet-lined jewelry boxes or wrap individual pieces in acid-free tissue paper.

2. Protecting Kundan & Polki

Kundan and Polki are particularly sensitive to moisture and chemicals. Always apply your perfume, hairspray, and makeup before putting on your jewelry. Direct contact with these substances can cloud the stones and damage the gold foil setting.

3. Cleaning Techniques

For general gold jewelry, a soft-bristled toothbrush and a mild, lukewarm soapy solution are usually sufficient. However, for stone-set pieces, avoid soaking. Instead, use a damp cloth to gently wipe the surface.
