And we at Rare Sparkle understand the investment of those precious pieces deserving to look their best. With its leading online jewelry store in the USA, it does not only offer such beautiful pieces but also expert advice on how to care for such pieces. Below are some of those really needed jewelry care tips that will help you keep that brilliance from your collection.

1. Cleaning the Pieces Regularly for Sparkling Jewelry

Over time, grime, oils, and other residues tend to dull the brightness of your jewelry. To ensure this does not happen, keep your pieces clean.

Clean your jewelry rings and necklaces by yourself, which you'll wear daily. Just soak them in warm water with a small amount of mild dish soap, gently scrub with a soft toothbrush, then rinse with clean water, and dry on a soft cloth.

For the more delicate pieces with jewels or tiny designs, strong chemicals should never be used; instead, they should be cleaned with specific solutions of jewelry cleaning solutions or even taken to a professional jeweler for a deep clean.

Rare Sparkle's online jewelry store USA offers care instructions with each purchase, so you are well-informed on how to best clean up your unique pieces.

2. Safe Storage in Preventive Damage

Another obvious way to extend the shelf life of your jewelry is when you store it properly when not worn. Jewelry may get scratched, tangled, or tarnished if stored wrongly.

• Store your jewelry separately: Make use of a soft-lined jewelry box or pouches so that there is no rubbing from pieces causing scratch marks on softer stones like opals or pearls.

• Keep silver objects: Preserved with anti-tarnish strips to minimize the chance of oxidation or tarnish.

• Store your jewelry: Away from moisture, in a cool, dry place, for moisture damages or tarnishes metals, especially silver and plated objects.

At Rare Sparkle, we also offer expert guidance on how to keep your jewelry as an investment in brilliance. But behind our USA-based online jewelry shop is also offering stunningly designed jewelry boxes so all the treasures are kept safe.

3. Avoid Exposure to Chemicals

Daily products such as perfumes, lotions, and household cleaners contain chemicals that can seriously damage your jewelry. To keep your pieces in optimal condition:

• Remove jewelries before layering of lotions or perfumes: Such fragrances could damage the shine of metals and gemstones, appearing either cloudy or becoming discolored.

• Clean your jewelry: Cleaners usually contain bleach or ammonia that could weaken the metals and damage the finish of your pieces.

• Remove your jewelry while swimming or bathing: The chlorine in a swimming pool, saltwater from the beach, and even soap can make your jewelry tarnish or become discolored, especially if it's silver or gold-plated.

If you use these tips, then your jewelry will stay bright and beautiful for a longer period. While Rare Sparkle sells its jewelry with proper craftsmanship, it's the right care that will keep it so brightly colored.

4. Regular check for wear and tear

While a cautious handling of jewelry may not prevent wear over time, regular inspections for damage will help your pieces to have a longer lifespan. Check loose stones, bent prongs, and weakened clasps.

• Look at your gemstones: Be sure to check your gemstone settings periodically to be sure the settings have not come loose. If your stone has come loose, be sure to discontinue wearing the piece until you can take it to be professionally repaired by a jeweler.

• Metal bands and chains: Look for bends or weakening especially if there are rings or dainty chain necklaces.

• Clasps and closures should be tightened: If the clasp is loose, it simply means you need to get your professionals to tighten it before you lose the jewelry through unintended exposure.

5. Professional Maintenance and Repairs

While home care is required for ensuring your jewelry stays looking its best, professional maintenance cannot be ignored. Jewelry specialists can clean, inspect, and repair your items, making them last a lifetime.

• Get an annual check-up: Just as you tune-up your car or take your teeth to the dentist for a check-up, so should you with your jewelry. Take it to a jeweler at least once every year to have them clean and examine it for damage.

• Resizing and fixes: Do your rings become too loose, or do you spot some damages? There's a need to rectify this issues as fast as possible. A professional jeweler can resize and repair, restoring your jewelry back in its original fantastic form.
