Spring has arrived, and it’s time to shake off the winter blues! With the new season comes the familiar phrase “spring cleaning,” making it the perfect opportunity to give your jewelry some extra attention. Refresh all your favorite pieces so they’re clean, sparkling, and ready to wear. Giving them a little TLC ensures they look their absolute best. Here are three simple ways to get your jewelry spring-ready:
Give Your Jewelry a Deep Refresh
Over time, your jewelry can lose its luster due to exposure to oils, sweat, and everyday dirt. To restore its shine, give it a deep clean using warm water and a mild soap mixture. Gently scrub each piece with a soft-bristled toothbrush, paying close attention to the underneath of the stones and prongs. Be cautious with delicate stones to avoid scratches. Rinse well with clean water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Let the Professionals Handle It
Not sure about cleaning your jewelry at home? Bring it to Tobin Jewelers! We offer professional cleaning and polishing services that can make your jewelry look like new again. Our specialized tools and techniques remove even the toughest grime. Plus, we’ll inspect your pieces for wear, loose stones, or other signs of damage, and recommend repairs to keep them in top condition.
Store Your Jewelry the Right Way
Proper storage is key to preserving your jewelry’s beauty over time. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Avoid tossing pieces together, as this can lead to tangling and scratches. Instead, use jewelry boxes or organizers with separate compartments. Anti-tarnish strips or pouches are also a great way to maintain shine and prevent oxidation.
Giving your fine jewelry a little extra care goes a long way in keeping it beautiful for years to come. Whether you’re cleaning it at home, bringing it to Tobin Jewelers for a professional cleaning, or improving how you store it, these simple steps can protect your jewelry and keep your favorite pieces looking stunning.
