How to Keep Your Kundan Jewellery Sparkling for Years
Your beautiful kundan and traditional jewelry pieces are precious investments that deserve proper care. Follow these expert tips to maintain their brilliance and longevity.
1. Storage Tips
- Keep pieces separate: Store each piece in individual soft cloth pouches to prevent scratching
- Avoid moisture: Keep jewelry in a cool, dry place away from humidity
- Use silica gel packets: Place them in your jewelry box to absorb excess moisture
- Avoid direct sunlight: Prolonged exposure can fade stones and damage settings
2. Cleaning Your Jewelry
- Kundan jewelry: Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth after each wear
- American Diamond pieces: Use a soft brush, then dry thoroughly
- Pearl jewelry: Wipe with a damp cloth only - never submerge in water
- Golden/brass pieces: Polish with a jewelry cleaning cloth to restore shine
3. Wearing Guidelines
- Put jewelry on last: After applying makeup, perfume, and hairspray
- Remove before activities: Take off jewelry before bathing, swimming, or exercising
- Avoid chemicals: Keep away from cleaning products, lotions, and cosmetics
- Handle with care: Hold pieces by the edges, not by delicate stones or settings
4. Special Care for Different Materials
Kundan & Meenakari: These are delicate - avoid water contact and store flat to prevent bending.
Baroque Pearls: Pearls are porous and sensitive. Wipe gently and store separately from other jewelry.
Anti-Tarnish Pieces: While resistant to tarnishing, still wipe clean after wear and store properly.
5. When to Seek Professional Help
- Loose stones or settings
- Broken clasps or chains
- Severe tarnishing or discoloration
- Missing stones or damaged enamel work
Seasonal Care Tips
Monsoon Season: Extra care needed! Keep jewelry in airtight containers with silica gel. Avoid wearing during heavy humidity.
Wedding Season: After wearing heavy bridal jewelry, clean gently and allow pieces to air out before storing.
