Welded Jewellery Care Tips: How To Care For Your Welded Jewellery

Welded jewellery is designed to be lived in and loved daily - and this means that it needs some extra TLC to keep it looking at its best. Since you can’t take it off, there are a few simple steps you can take to ensure your permanent rings, bracelets, necklaces or anklets stay as stunning as the day you got them - and prevent them from becoming discoloured, tarnished, dull or grimy.

Everyday Welded Jewellery Care Tips:

Understand Your Jewellery’s Material

Whether your welded piece is made from solid gold, gold-filled, or sterling silver, knowing a little about the material helps you care for it properly. Solid gold is tough, but it can still lose its shine over time, while sterling silver, as stunning as it is, can tarnish if it’s not looked after. By understanding what your jewellery is made from, you can make sure that you care for it the right way. 

Establish a Gentle Cleaning Routine

Cleaning Tips for Sterling Silver Permanent Jewellery

For sterling silver permanent jewellery, regular care is essential to prevent tarnishing. A good rule of thumb is to clean it every 1 month or so, but if you notice signs of tarnish or discolouration, it’s best to clean it sooner. Exposure to moisture, chlorine, or beauty products can accelerate the tarnishing process, so it’s wise to give it more frequent care if needed. Sterling silver cleaner can reverse oxidation, keeping your jewellery looking fresh and polished.

To clean your sterling silver, use warm water, a mild dish soap, and a soft toothbrush to gently scrub away dirt. After rinsing, dry it with a soft cloth. For a quick polish, a jewellery polishing cloth can restore its shine, bringing your silver pieces back to their bright, gleaming state.

Cleaning Tips for Gold Permanent Jewellery

For gold permanent jewellery, it’s all about keeping that gorgeous shine. Cleaning it every couple of months will usually do the trick, but if your bracelet starts looking dull from daily wear, you might need to give it a little extra attention. Avoid using harsh chemicals, as they can strip away the gold’s natural lustre. Instead, stick to a simple cleaning routine with warm water and mild soap. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently clean any build-up, then rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Stay Away from Harsh Chemicals

If there’s one thing that’s sure to dull your jewellery’s shine, it’s harsh chemicals. Everyday products like household cleaners, chlorine, or even some beauty products can cause corrosion or tarnishing, especially for silver pieces. Try to avoid direct contact with lotions, perfumes, and other chemical products as well!

Limit Exposure to Water

While you don’t need to remove your welded jewellery when showering or swimming, try to be cautious around saltwater or chlorine. Over time, these elements can dull or weaken your jewellery. If you do go for a swim, just give your jewellery a quick rinse with fresh water afterward to avoid any long-term damage.

Inspect Your Jewellery Regularly

It’s always a good idea to check on your welded jewellery from time to time. Have a look at the links and any charms for signs of wear or damage. If anything looks out of place, it’s best to get it repaired by a professional asap!
