New Year, New Sparkle: Give Your Jewelry a Little TLC

/in /by

The holidays are rough on jewelry. Between cookie-baking, champagne-popping, gift-wrapping, and dance-floor-dazzling, your poor rings, necklaces, and bracelets have been through it. They made you look fabulous—now it’s time to return the favor.

Here’s how to give your favorites the fresh start they deserve:

  1. Rings Need a Break Too

Diamonds may be tough, but they’re not invincible. If you wore your ring through cookie dough, mashed potatoes, and marathon dish duty, it’s probably ready for a little time-out. Take your rings off before scrubbing, cleaning, or lifting weights—your stones (and knuckles) will thank you.

  1. Necklaces Don’t Love Hairspray

All that glitter spray and perfume you misted on before holiday parties? Your chains noticed. Sprays and lotions can dull gemstones and metals. Remember: jewelry goes on last, comes off first.

  1. Earrings Like to Breathe

Studs, hoops, or chandeliers—they’ve been working overtime. A quick wipe with a soft cloth helps, but a professional clean will make them look like they’re ready for another midnight countdown.

  1. Don’t Play “Find the Missing Stone”

Loose prongs are sneaky. One wrong snag on a sweater, and suddenly your diamond’s MIA. This is where maintenance comes in:

  • Retipping prongs: keeps your gems safe and secure.
  • Head and set work:ensures your stone is properly supported.
  • Ring sizing: because fingers don’t always stay the same size.
  • Reshanking: replacing a worn-out band so your ring is sturdy again.

Think of it like sending your jewelry in for a health check-up—catching little issues before they become big heartbreaks.
