How to Care for Your Ananda Jewellery
Proper care ensures your jewellery stays beautiful and lasts for years. To ensure the longevity of your Ananda Jewellery, follow these tips to keep both your stainless steel 18k gold plated jewellery and crystals in excellent condition.
General care:
- Avoid Chemicals and moisture: Keep your jewellery away from cleaning agents, beauty products, water, and chemicals. Avoid direct contact with perfume, hairspray, lotions, body oils, and other cosmetics while wearing your pieces.
- Keep Dry: Moisture can cause the gold plating to wear off more quickly. Remove your jewellery before swimming, bathing, exercising, or washing your hands.
- Store Properly: When not wearing your jewellery, store it in a soft pouch or a separate compartment in your jewellery box to avoid scratches and tarnishing.
- Separate Storage: Store each piece separately to avoid scratching and tangling.
- Clean Gently: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe your jewellery. For a deeper clean, mix mild soap with warm water, gently scrub with a soft brush, rinse with clean water, and dry thoroughly.
- Avoid Abrasion: Do not wear your jewellery while doing activities that might scratch or wear down the plating, such as gardening or cleaning.
Caring for Crystals
- Avoid Chemicals: Just like with gold plated jewellery, keep crystals away from harsh chemicals and cleaning agents.
- Clean with Care: : Natural gemstones can be fragile. Avoid dropping or knocking them against hard surfaces.
- Gentle Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean your crystals. Avoid using paper towels, ultrasonic cleaners, or steam cleaners that might damage the surface. For a thorough clean, use a soft-bristled brush with warm water and detergent-free soap. Avoid chemicals and excessive temperatures.
- Store Safely: Store your crystal jewellery in a cool, dry place, preferably in a soft pouch or a lined jewellery box to prevent scratching and damage.
- Handle Gently: Crystals can be fragile. Avoid dropping or knocking them against hard surfaces.
- Recharge and Cleanse: To maintain their energetic properties, periodically cleanse your crystals under running water, moonlight, or with sage smoke.
By following these care instructions, you can ensure your Ananda Jewellery remains as stunning and powerful as the day you received it. Enjoy your jewellery and let it continue to bring you joy and positive energy!
