Jewelry is more than just an accessory — it’s an investment in your personal style. Whether it’s a gift from a loved one or a piece you purchased from Nansey Emporium, keeping your jewelry in good condition means you’ll enjoy its beauty for years to come. Ghana’s weather and daily routines can expose your accessories to sweat, dust, and moisture, but with the right care, you can maintain your pieces and prevent fading or tarnishing. Here are simple, effective tips on how to take care of your jewelry and keep it looking brand new.
1. Keep Your Jewelry Dry
Moisture is one of the main causes of tarnishing, especially for gold-plated and fashion jewelry. Always remove your jewelry before bathing, swimming, or washing your hands. If you sweat a lot, especially in Ghana’s heat, wipe your jewelry gently with a dry cloth at the end of the day.
2. Store Your Pieces Properly
Don’t just toss your jewelry in a drawer. Store them in a jewelry box, pouch, or a ziplock bag to prevent exposure to air and humidity. Keep each piece separate to avoid scratching, tangling, or discoloration. Tip: Nansey Emporium jewelry sets come in a neat box — use it for long-term storage.
3. Avoid Contact with Perfume and Lotion
Apply your perfume, lotion, or oils before wearing your jewelry. The chemicals in beauty products can react with the metals and reduce shine or cause fading. Let your skin absorb the products first, then accessorize.
4. Clean Gently with a Soft Cloth
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe your jewelry regularly. This removes oils and dirt without damaging the finish. Avoid using water or strong chemicals on fashion jewelry — they may cause more harm than good.
5. Remove Jewelry Before Bed
Wearing jewelry while sleeping can cause chains to tangle or even break. For watches and bracelets, movement during sleep can weaken clasps or scratch the surface.
6. Don’t Shower or Swim in Your Jewelry
Water, especially saltwater or chlorinated water, can be very damaging to fashion accessories. Always remove your items before entering the bathroom, pool, or beach.
7. Handle with Care
Be mindful when putting on or taking off your jewelry. Avoid tugging or pulling, especially on fine chains or earrings. If your jewelry has delicate stones or charms, treat them gently to avoid loosening or breakage.
Final Thoughts
Your jewelry is part of your daily style story — keep it looking fresh and elegant by taking just a little extra care. With these tips, your accessories from Nansey Emporium can stay beautiful and durable, giving you long-term value.
