1. Caring for Gold Jewellery

In Pakistan, gold jewellery is preferred because of its timeless appeal and cultural significance; however it needs to be taken care properly to maintain its lustre in our climate especially.

1. Preventing Tarnish

Even though gold itself does not tarnish, the alloys used to strengthen it can sometimes do so. If you want to avoid tarnish on your gold jewellery when they are not being worn then put them inside an air-sealed dry box or otherwise use anti-tarnishing pouches/ strips.

Clean your gold jewellery by soaking in a solution of mild soap for some minutes before gently scrubbing it with a soft brush and finally drying up extensively to avoid water spots; alternatively you may also take it to a professional jeweller if you wish a deeper clean.

Silver jewellery is elegant but prone to tarnishing especially in the humid areas like Pakistan’s weather conditions are concerned about this fact.

In addition, you should regularly wear your silver jewellery because the oils from your skin will protect them.

1. Cleaning Silver Jewellery

The best way to clean tarnished silver is by using a silver polishing cloth; use it gently on the jewel and restore its shine. Avoid using abrasive substances or strong chemicals as these can destroy surfaces.

As humidity quickens tarnishing, never wear silver ornaments while swimming and also avoid wearing them in humid conditions. Dry your silvers thoroughly after washing them.

Gemstone jewellery needs special attention to maintain its colour and clarity especially when living in a hot climate with high humidity levels.

1. Protecting Gemstones from Heat

Extensive sun exposure may cause fading or cracking of gemstones, particularly delicate ones such as opals and emeralds; so store your gemstone jewellery at cool places away from direct sunlight for long time intervals.

To cleanse gemstone jewellery, apply a mild soap solution with a soft brush while avoiding soaking porous stones like turquoise and pearls as they absorb water; always dry gemstones with a soft rag to prevent water spots.
