  1. Instructions for maintenance and care of jewelry

    don't wear jewelry when exercising or doing heavy work to avoid collision or wear

    2. Fragile gemstones, such as emeralds, are easy to break, so special care must be taken when wearing them

    3. Jewelry worn frequently should be checked once a month to see if there is wear or loose inlay, and then repaired

    4. Do not put all kinds of jewelry in the same drawer or jewelry box at will, because the hardness of various gems and metals is different, which will lead to wear due to mutual friction

    5. Mild soapy water and soft brush are the easiest and convenient cleaning methods. In addition, you can also rinse jewelry with water. The cleaned jewelry can be dried on a lint free towel. Wax free dental floss or toothpicks can remove dirt on gems and between the supporting claws

    6. Do not wear gems with pores in the kitchen or places with steam, otherwise the gems will change color after absorbing steam and sweat. Like other jewelry, gold and silver jewelry will lose their brightness if they are stained with grease or sweat acid secreted by the human body. Therefore, jewelry that is often worn should be cleaned once a week

    7. Solution for cleaning jewelry: most jewelry cleaners contain amonia, which can not only clean gems but also make metals brighter. Amonia is safe for most gems, except pearls and porous gems (such as pine stones and shimmering clouds)

  2. Take care of your jewelry

    your jewelry is a financial and emotional investment. Taking care of your diamonds, gems and pearls can not only make them look beautiful, but also ensure that they last for generations. Luohua jewelry teaches you how to take care of your own jewelry, and what you learn is to earn

    Basic jewelry care
    all exquisite jewelry needs proper care. Although some jewelry may need selective care, most jewelry should be cared for using the following basic knowledge:
    sunlight – just like the sun burns the skin, heat and light can damage some gemstones. Direct sunlight for a long time will cause discoloration or damage to jewelry. If exposed to the sun, pearls will bleach and peel off. Some other gems may become dark if exposed to too much light. If you want to avoid the above situation, please store the jewelry in a dark bag or jewelry box

    chemicals – exposure to common household chemicals (such as ammonia or bleach) may damage metals and precious stones. Even chemicals such as hairspray, perfume and lotion that are worn on the body can affect metals and dull gemstones. To keep your jewelry looking new, it is best to wear any perfume, lotion or hair gel before wearing jewelry. Before swimming or using any type of household cleaner, it is always wise to take off your fine jewelry

    treated gems – nowadays, many gems have been treated, and these gems need special care. Processed gemstones may be negatively affected by heat, steam or ultrasonic cleaners and certain solvents. Follow the jeweler's instructions to make the treated gem jewelry look shiny

    ultrasonic cleaner – although ultrasonic cleaner is very suitable for cleaning metals, diamonds and certain gemstones, it should not be used in the following cases:
    in organic gemstones, such as pearls, corals or ivory
    any gemstone with broken glass. For example, most emeralds are crack filled and should not be cleaned in ultrasonic cleaners
    coated gemstones. It should not be cleaned in ultrasonic cleaner
    some heat-treated gemstones
    any gemstone, such as Tanzanite, iodite, opal, etc., that is easy to be affected by heat or temperature changes should not be cleaned in ultrasonic cleaner

    safe and simple cleaning methods
    gems and diamonds can be easily cleaned with warm water, mild dishsoap and soft brush. Clean the jewelry in a bowl of warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint free cloth
    softer gems, such as pearls, are easily scratched. Use a very soft brush to clean the pearls with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry the pearls on a towel or a chamois

    store your jewelry
    it is very important to store your fine jewelry properly. Diamonds, precious stones, especially pearl jewelry, should not be thrown into drawers or boxes at will, because they may be scratched unintentionally
    most jewelry is stored in a box or bag. However, most people use jewelry boxes to store their jewelry
    Jewelry box, with filled slots for storing rings, necklaces and earrings will keep them organized, clean and safe. Some boxes have antifouling cloth inside, which is very suitable for storing pure silver
    pearls and opals absorb moisture from the air, so it's not a good idea to store them in a safe or lock box. Store the pearls in separate jewelry boxes or protective bags. However, the best way to make pearls look new is to wear them. Pearls naturally absorb moisture from air and skin oils, making them look shiny. "Pearls should be worn" is true
    with little effort, your exquisite jewelry can be cleaned, carefully cared for, safely stored, and worn for many years

    to keep your fine jewelry look bright, start with regular inspection and cleaning. However, if your jewelry needs to be repaired or renovated, you can rest assured that LOVA's jewelry craftsmen will treat your jewelry with care. Whether you need simple button replacement or complete installation and maintenance, Luohua jewelry can meet your needs.
