How to Care for Premium Artificial Jewellery: 10 Tips to Keep It Shining
Premium artificial jewellery can make your look elegant, stylish, and complete. Whether it is a pair of gold-tone earrings, a delicate pendant, a bracelet, or a statement ring, the right jewellery can make even a simple outfit feel polished.
But one thing many people forget is this: jewellery care matters.
Even high-quality coated jewellery needs proper handling. If you expose it to water, perfume, sanitizer, sweat, or chemicals regularly, the shine may reduce faster. With the right care routine, your jewellery can stay beautiful for longer.
Here is a complete guide on how to care for your premium artificial jewellery.
1. Keep Jewellery Away from Water
Water is one of the biggest reasons jewellery loses its shine. Even if a piece has premium coating, repeated water exposure can affect the finish.
Avoid wearing jewellery while:
- Bathing
- Swimming
- Washing hands repeatedly
- Doing household cleaning
- Visiting beaches or pools
- Getting caught in heavy rain
For rings and bracelets, remove them before washing hands or applying sanitizer.
2. Avoid Perfume and Sanitizer Contact
Perfume, sanitizer, lotion, and makeup can damage jewellery coating over time. These products often contain alcohol, chemicals, and oils that can affect the surface finish.
The best rule is:
Apply perfume, lotion, makeup, and skincare first. Let it dry. Then wear your jewellery.
Do not spray perfume directly on earrings, chains, pendants, bracelets, or rings.
3. Remove Jewellery Before Sleeping
Sleeping with jewellery may seem harmless, but it can cause bending, pulling, scratches, chain breakage, or stone loosening.
Before sleeping, remove your jewellery and store it properly. This is especially important for earrings, pendants, delicate bracelets, and rings.
4. Do Not Wear Jewellery During Workouts
Sweat and friction can reduce the life of artificial jewellery. During workouts, jewellery may also get pulled, scratched, or damaged.
Avoid wearing jewellery during:
- Gym workouts
- Running
- Yoga
- Sports
- Dance practice
- Heavy physical activity
If you accidentally sweat while wearing jewellery, wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth after use.
5. Store Each Piece Separately
Do not throw all your jewellery pieces into one box. When pieces rub against each other, they can get scratched or tangled.
Store each item separately in:
- Original Vervit box
- Soft pouch
- Airtight jewellery pouch
- Dry jewellery organizer
- Separate compartments
This prevents scratches, tangling, and surface damage.
6. Keep Jewellery Away from Humidity
Humidity can affect jewellery shine. Avoid storing jewellery in bathrooms or damp areas.
Best storage places:
- Dressing table drawer
- Dry jewellery box
- Wardrobe shelf
- Airtight pouch
- Cool and dry room
You can also keep a small silica gel packet inside your jewellery box to absorb moisture.
7. Clean with a Soft Dry Cloth
After wearing jewellery, gently wipe it with a clean, soft, dry cloth. This helps remove sweat, oil, dust, and makeup particles.
Do not clean fashion jewellery with:
- Water
- Soap
- Alcohol
- Sanitizer
- Toothpaste
- Chemical cleaners
- Jewellery cleaning liquids unless recommended
A dry soft cloth is usually enough for regular care.
8. Avoid Rough Handling
Artificial jewellery is delicate and should be handled with care.
Avoid:
- Pulling chains
- Bending rings
- Dropping earrings
- Pressing stones harshly
- Throwing jewellery in bags
- Keeping jewellery with keys, coins, or sharp items
If you are carrying jewellery while travelling, keep it in a proper pouch or box.
9. Wear Jewellery Last, Remove It First
This is one of the best jewellery care rules.
When getting ready, wear your jewellery at the end after makeup, perfume, skincare, and clothing.
When coming back home, remove jewellery first before changing clothes, washing hands, or relaxing.
This reduces contact with chemicals, fabric friction, and accidental pulling.
10. Follow the Brand’s Care Instructions
Every jewellery brand may use different materials, finishes, and coatings. Always read the product care guide before use.
At Vervit, we recommend keeping jewellery away from water, sweat, perfume, sanitizer, lotion, makeup, and chemicals. Store each piece separately in a dry pouch or box after every use.
Common Jewellery Care Mistakes to Avoid
Many people damage jewellery without realizing it. Avoid these mistakes:
- Wearing rings while using sanitizer
- Keeping earrings in a bathroom cabinet
- Spraying perfume after wearing a necklace
- Sleeping with delicate chains
- Wearing jewellery while swimming
- Cleaning jewellery with soap or toothpaste
- Carrying jewellery loose inside a handbag
- Keeping all pieces together in one box
Small habits can make a big difference.
How Long Can Premium Artificial Jewellery Last?
The life of artificial jewellery depends on quality, coating, usage, climate, and care. Premium coated jewellery can maintain its shine longer when used properly.
However, jewellery is not indestructible. If exposed regularly to sweat, water, perfume, sanitizer, and chemicals, the finish may fade faster.
Proper care helps extend its beauty.
Does Vervit Jewellery Have Warranty?
Eligible Vervit products come with a 6-month plating warranty from the date of delivery. The warranty covers unusual plating discoloration or tarnishing under normal usage, subject to inspection and approval.
The warranty does not cover damage caused by water, sweat, perfume, sanitizer, chemicals, improper storage, mishandling, scratches, dents, or normal wear and tear.
Final Thoughts
Premium artificial jewellery gives you the freedom to style different looks without depending only on expensive fine jewellery. But to keep your pieces shining longer, care is essential.
Keep your jewellery dry, store it properly, avoid chemicals, and clean it gently after use.
