Caring for your Bridal Jewellery: Before, During & After.

As a bride-to-be, you have likely spent a great deal of time and effort selecting the perfect wedding jewellery to complement your dress and overall bridal look. But in order to keep your jewels looking their best and preserving their beauty and value, it is important to take proper care of them both before and after your special day.

Proper care of your wedding jewelry can help to ensure that it remains in top condition, retaining its sparkling brilliance and lustre for years to come. It can also help to protect the value of your investment, particularly if you have chosen high-quality or sentimental pieces.

Our Bridal experts at HC Jewellers share strategies for taking care of your wedding jewellery, from the days leading up to your wedding to the years that follow.Ā 

Before the Big Day

To ensure that your wedding jewellery stays in top condition before your big day, it is important to take a few precautions to protect it from damage and wear. Here are some tips to help you keep your wedding jewels safe and secure:

Store your wedding jewellery safely and securely.

Keep your wedding jewellery in a safe place where it will not be damaged or lost. If you are storing your jewels in a jewelry box, choose one with soft, padded compartments to protect your pieces from scratches and damage. Alternatively, you can use small, zip-top bags to store your jewels separately and keep them safe.

Avoid exposing your wedding jewellery to water, heat, and chemicals.

Water, heat, and chemicals can all damage or tarnish your wedding jewellery. To protect your jewels, avoid wearing them in the shower, swimming pool, or sauna, and avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals such as bleach or household cleaners.

Protect your wedding jewellery from scratches and damage.

To keep your wedding jewellery looking its best, it is important to protect it from scratches and other types of damage. When you are not wearing your jewels, store them carefully to avoid scratching or damaging them, and handle them gently when you are wearing them.

On your wedding day

On your wedding day, it is important to handle and wear your wedding jewellery with care to ensure that it stays in top condition. Here are a few tips to help you protect your jewels as you celebrate your big day:

Handle your wedding jewellery gently

When you are wearing your wedding jewellery, handle it gently to avoid scratching or damaging it. Avoid pulling on chains or tugging on earrings, and be careful not to bump or knock your jewels against hard surfaces.

Seek professional help for complex or delicate piecesĀ 

If you have chosen a complex or delicate wedding jewellery piece, such as a tiara or a necklace with multiple strands, it may be best to seek professional help when putting it on and taking it off. This will help to prevent damage and ensure that your jewels stay securely in place.

Remove your wedding jewellery before participating in physical activities

To protect your wedding jewellery from damage, it is a good idea to remove it before participating in physical activities such as dancing or sports. This will help to prevent your jewels from getting scratched, knocked around, or lost.

After the wedding

To keep your wedding jewellery looking its best after your big day, it is important to clean and maintain it regularly. Here are a few tips to help you care for your wedding jewels:

Clean your wedding jewellery regularly

To keep your wedding jewellery looking its best, it is important to clean it regularly. You can use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe away dirt and fingerprints, or you can use a mild detergent and warm water to give your jewels a more thorough cleaning. Be sure to rinse your jewels thoroughly and dry them off carefully to avoid water spots.

Store your wedding jewellery safely and securely

To protect your wedding jewellery from scratches and damage, it is a good idea to store it safely and securely when you are not wearing it. Keep your jewels in a safe place, away from heat and moisture, and use small, zip-top bags or padded jewelry boxes to keep them separate and protected.

Seek professional cleaning and maintenance services

If your wedding jewellery is looking dull or discoloured, or if it has intricate details that are difficult to clean, it may be best to seek professional cleaning and maintenance services. A jeweller can help to restore the sparkle and shine to your jewels and make any necessary repairs.

Taking good care of your wedding jewellery is an important investment that can help to preserve the beauty and value of your special pieces. By following a few simple tips and strategies, you can help to keep your wedding jewels looking their best and protecting them from damage and wear.

Before your big day, be sure to store your wedding jewellery safely and securely and protect it from water, heat, and chemicals. On your wedding day, handle and wear your jewels gently and seek professional help for complex or delicate pieces. And after your wedding, be sure to clean and maintain your wedding jewellery and store it safely to keep it looking its best for years to come.
