Memorial jewellery from Opals & Ashes is a precious and personal way to keep the memory of a loved one close. Whether it holds a small portion of ashes or symbolises a special connection, these pieces are crafted with care and deserve the same level of attention to keep them looking their best. Here are some simple steps to help you care for your memorial jewellery and preserve its beauty over time.
1. Handle with Care
Always handle your memorial jewellery gently. Avoid dropping or knocking it against hard surfaces, as this could cause damage to the metal or any delicate elements like opals or resin.
2. Keep it Clean
To maintain the shine and clarity of your jewellery, clean it regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. For deeper cleaning, use warm, soapy water and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that may damage the finish.
3. Store it Safely
When you're not wearing your jewellery, store it in a soft pouch or a lined jewellery box. This helps protect it from dust, moisture, and scratches. Keep each piece separate to prevent tangling or rubbing against other items.
4. Avoid Harsh Environments
Remove your memorial jewellery before swimming, showering, or engaging in strenuous activities. Chemicals in pools, saltwater, and household cleaners can dull or damage the metal and the inlay over time.
5. Protect from Extreme Temperatures
Extreme heat or cold can affect the integrity of your jewellery. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or in places with fluctuating temperatures, such as a car dashboard.
6. Regular Inspections
Check your jewellery periodically for signs of wear. If you notice any issues, seek professional repair services to maintain the integrity of your piece.
7. Personal Touch
Memorial jewellery holds deep emotional significance. Taking the time to care for it ensures it will remain a beautiful and meaningful reminder of your loved one for years to come.
By following these simple care tips, you can keep your ashes jewellery looking as special as the memories it represents. Treat it with love, and it will continue to hold your cherished connection close to your heart.
Wishing you all the best
