Jewellery care goes hand in hand with owning gorgeous custom made Jewellery. With a deep level of sentimentality attached to your Jewellery, there’s no doubt you’ll want it to last throughout the years. That means giving it the special care and attention it needs to ensure the beauty and shine is retained, and it remains in pristine condition.

Being especially custom made, there’s nothing else like your piece of Jewellery. It’s unique and individual just like you. You’ll have an eye to eventually handing it down to your loved ones, and hope that it will continue to be handed down the family line and cherished for generations to come.

What would you do if something happened to it through lack of care? That would be heart breaking.

It’s why caring for your Jewellery really matters, but how do you properly care for Jewellery?

Be Careful What You’re Doing When You’re Wearing Jewellery

You wear your Jewellery with pride and show it off to the world, and so you should. It shows that you’re a person of taste, refinement, and class.

You’ll be surprised how easy it is to forget you’re wearing your Jewellery when you go about your day-to-day life. The next thing you know, you’re washing the dishes with your beautiful rings on, you’re at the gym or local pool with your gorgeous necklace on, you’re working in the garden with your stunning bracelet on.

It would be a tragedy to damage your Jewellery while you were busy engaged in some type of activity. Prevention is better than cure. The best way to care for your Jewellery in these circumstances, is to remove it and keep it safe.

To protect it from damage, never wear your Jewellery:

• In the bath or shower to avoid contacts with soaps and chemicals
• In a pool to avoid loss or damage, or discolouration from chlorine exposure
• When doing physical activities to avoid breakage or loss
• When applying perfume or hairspray as it jeopardises the integrity of the materials
• When applying make-up creams to avoid residue dulling the shine

This may mean creating a new habit of taking your Jewellery off before doing any activities that might damage, or even worse, cause it to fall off and become lost without you even knowing.

Be Careful Where You Take Your Jewellery Off

One woman was walking along the beach with her partner on a moonlit night. She took her new ring off to show her partner, and accidentally dropped it in the sand. With a look of absolute horror, she cried out. It had sunk into the sand, somewhere.

Her partner spent a lot of time sifting through the sand in the dark with his fingers and eventually scooped it up, to her relief.

The lesson she learnt was to be very careful where you take your Jewellery off. In her case, the safest way was to keep it on her finger.

If you’re going to be doing an activity that may risk the safety or integrity of your Jewellery, the best option is to remove it safely in your home and place it in dedicated storage.

Safe And Sound Storage For Your Jewellery

The best Jewellery care includes having safe storage for when you’re not wearing it. A beautiful piece of custom made Jewellery deserves a beautiful home. It’s worth investing in a purpose made Jewellery box lined with soft, tarnish resistant material.

Ideally, it requires a box with several individual pouches within it to separate each item of Jewellery. In this way, you can avoid them getting tangled, scratched or broken.

The best place for your Jewellery box is in your bedroom or in a safe.

Always keep the Jewellery box away from:

• Moist areas
• Areas where there are chemicals

In this way, you’re ensuring the greatest protection when you’re not wearing it.

Travelling With Jewellery

There will be times when you’re travelling with your Jewellery. There are specific Jewellery care tips you may not have thought of when travelling.

These include:

• Make a list of the Jewellery you’re taking with you
• Ensure that it’s insured when you travel
• If you’re not planning on wearing it on the plane, store it in your carry-on luggage in a designated Jewellery box. Never store it in luggage that you can’t keep with you
• Thread earrings carefully through a pair of large buttons when not wearing them. By themselves, earrings can easily be lost if not packed correctly

By taking special care of your gorgeous Jewellery, you’ll preserve it, and experience the utmost joy out of wearing it for years to come.

There is nothing more precious than having something custom-made. This is truly beautiful and exquisite jewellery that is more than bespoke, it tells a story of who you are.

Here is the chance at the custom jewellery Melbourne has been waiting for.

This is the unique opportunity to have something specially made for you and your own style.

When you are looking for bespoke jewellery that is of quality and craftsmanship above anything else, there are a few things to keep in mind.

Why choose bespoke jewellery in the first place?

There are a few reasons why people can be put off by the idea of bespoke jewellery. Some of them are myths that deserve to be busted and the benefits made clear.

1. Made-to-order jewellery is too expensive

This is a common misunderstanding that people believe. The cost of any piece of jewellery depends on what you are after. Whilst you are often paying for the design and special touches that make the piece a ‘one off’, it can be a similar price to something found in the most upmarket jewellery shop.

2. Not all jewellery can be custom made

Forget the idea that bespoke jewellery is only for wedding and engagements. Nearly all types of jewellery can be customised. That includes everything from the most formal piece to a casual or special gift item.

3. You’ll only know what you get when it is finished

One of the keys to made to order jewellery is going through an in-depth brief of what it is you want and how it can be designed – especially for you. The detail will all be in the jewellery design before a finger is lifted in the making of it. There should be different approval stages along the way to crafting the finished product.

4. All custom-made jewellery is complex and a trick to upsell

The whole process of creating a made-to-order piece of jewellery should be as open and easy to understand as possible. You should feel free to ask any questions you might have at any point in the process. No true quality jeweller will try to upsell you to a more expensive option. The whole idea is to help you stay within your budget.

As an example, it’s a common myth to think that having a personalized ring designed for you will be way beyond your means. In fact, any engagement ring is a substantial investment and it is the diamonds themselves that play the biggest part in the overall cost.

You need to weigh up each factor and remember the advantages of having your very own piece to cherish for a lifetime.

The benefits of bespoke jewellery

There are distinct advantages in having such jewellery.

• You will be able to enjoy wearing something that is made to your desires. You should be able to get exactly what you want and that is a precious thing.
• You will always know that you have your very own unique piece of jewellery that you may even have contributed to designing.
• Custom-made jewellery is the ultimate gift. It is the most unique way to show how much someone means to you.
• A quality custom-made piece can become a truly special heirloom to live on through the generations.

It can also be a huge time-saving factor when you consider how long and frustrating a process it can be to try and find what you are looking for.

It’s no wonder that choosing the best custom jewellery Melbourne has to offer.
