Whether your purchase or gifts are of diamonds or gold, you urge to sustain them for a lifetime. These exquisite pieces hold a special place in people's hearts in terms of their immense value and chances of being handed over to future generations.

However, even outclass and rich jewellery pieces lose their sparkle over time. Gold and other metals tend to tarnish over time. Casual handling and routine dust will cause gemstones to appear dull and unclean. Daily jewellery cleaning routine and its maintenance best practices will not only extend the life of your jewellery but also, helps in keeping it sparkling!

Here are some quick 5# tips that may help you to take care and sustain your exclusive luxurious pieces a bit longer by preventing the shame of dullness and scratches on them.

The application of lotions, sprays, and cosmetics can potentially damage your jewellery and might get their shine away. And, sleeping with them may break and leave them in an impossibly tangling situation.

So, a simple rule of thumb to avoid these scenarios and take care of your jewellery is to put it on last, to complete your overall look, and to take it off first when changing your clothes or before going to bed.

Gold tends to scratch readily, so store it in individual soft fabric preferably in a soft-lined box or case, to prevent your favourite pieces from tangling, rubbing, or scratching.

"Always store your jewellery in a jewellery case or box and keep each piece separated from one another," Donna Distefano, an artist, master goldsmith, and owner of Donna Distefano Ltd., told INSIDER.
