We are sure that nothing can spoil the mood and darken the impression of a long-awaited vacation more than hopelessly lost or irretrievably damaged jewelry. We will tell you how to avoid the most unpleasant situations and in which cases it is better to be on the alert!
Sun
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight has a negative effect not only on the skin, but also on jewelry. Precious metals and some precious stones (in particular, emeralds и topaz).
The best way out of the situation is to give preference to laconic products from a more budgetary segment or stylish costume jewelry while on vacation.
Sand
The main source of countless mechanical damage! Sand is especially dangerous for smooth metal jewelry and items inlaid with loose stones. To preserve the beauty of your favorite ring or pendant, we recommend that you still leave them at home, choosing jewelry that is more practical and familiar to the harsh beach conditions for the beach (for a full guide and a variety of options, see here)
Salt and water
The greatest danger that sea water is fraught with is the instant loss of diamond earrings or a beloved ring. Alas, no matter what efforts you make and what you undertake, you will hardly be able to find them among the waves and currents.
Another nuisance is the rather aggressive effect of salt on gold and silver: it is quite possible that the jewelry, even if not immediately, will acquire unattractive black spots and stains. Advice: it is recommended to either remove especially valuable jewelry before immersion in water, or replace it with more budgetary items, the loss of which will not be a reason for special sadness.
Cosmetical tools
A rather unobvious reason to deprive your favorite jewelry of its attractive appearance with your own hands. Various oils and sunscreens, which are used in large quantities during exposure to sunlight, can cover the product with a cloudy film and not only deprive it of its shine, but also provoke irreversible changes.
The correct solution is to apply cosmetics, after removing all jewelry!
