Caring for Your Jewelry

If you received a piece of jewelry over the past month or so, you may be wondering how you can keep it nice and shiny for years to come. Basic jewelry care, before it becomes dirty and, simple cleaning can help you keep your beautiful jewelry bright for a lifetime.

Always - Before performing even the simplest task, remove your jewelry. This includes rings, bracelets, and other trinkets that might catch on something as you move your hands and arms.

Removing your gems will also keep them free of harmful chemicals that can stain or physically damage parts of the jewelry. This is especially true for custom jewelry engraving on various pieces because the chemicals can fill in the wording and sometimes erodes the delicate etching.

Do not wear your jewelry in the shower, swimming pool, or hot tub. Soap film or chemicals build upon the jewels and cause them to look dull. This can also damage the stones.

Cleaning - Do not use paper towels or tissues when jewelry cleaning as they scratch and can embed small fibers near the findings.

For the best results, use a jewelry polishing cloth. An old cloth diaper or svelte could also be used; however, the polishing cloths are the best bet.

The staff at Draper Jewelry can assist you in making the best choice for everyone on your list. This Nashville jewelry offers custom jewelry engraving to turn any piece of jewelry from beautiful to inspire.

Appropriate Jewelry Gift Guide

When it comes to gift giving, teenagers, and men are typically the hardest to shop for. Almost all women will accept jewelry as a holiday or anytime gift. Draper Jewelry has a large selection of beautiful pieces that will be welcomed with a big smile for everyone on your list.

Jewelry Gifts for Women

The hardest part of purchasing woman jewelry is deciding what she wants most. Earrings, bracelets, and rings are always a safe bet, but choose carefully. The age of the woman is most important when deciding which shiny jewels she would like.

Stay away from fine diamond engagement rings, unless you are planning to ask for her hand in marriage. Countless other diamond ring options say everything from love to friendship. In addition, beautiful, colorful gems say the same thing with a pop of color.

Even if your mom loves diamond rings, make sure it does not look like an engagement ring. Better yet, stick with a bracelet or a delicate necklace.

Jewelry Gifts for Men

Men are simple creatures when it comes to jewelry. They prefer something understated, not flashy or gaudy. Watches are always a crowd pleaser for the man in your life. Young men also enjoy a nice watch, just make sure it's his style and not too old for his age.

Jewelry Gifts for Teens

Like with the other categories of jewelry gifts, be sure your jewelry choice is age appropriate. No teenage girl wants to explain to her friends that the diamond engagement ring is actually a gift from her father. The same could be said for heart charms. Of course, you love your little girl, but show her in a fatherly way, nothing romantic.
