Five Simple Ways to Care for Jewellery During Monsoon:- Monsoon season is not a good one for jewellery say experts. Sumeet Dhanraj, Director and Creative Head of Dhanraj Jewellers, and Saumya Ghai, Designer and Merchandiser at Shaya by CaratLane have suggested some tips to protect gold ornmaments during this monsoon season:

Gold jewellery should be cleaned with warm soapy water to prevent dust and dirt during the season. Pearls, coral, amber should be kept in separate boxes. Prevent mixing them with other gemstones to prevent scratches.

Pearls are delicate and direct contact with other ornaments may damage them. Good precautions should be taken while storing them.

The metal alloy can be affected by moisture which may cause to lose its original luster. A soft interior will help them ornaments get preserved well.

Silver gets damaged due to over-exposure of air and humidity. Silver should be stored in airtight bags.

During monsoon, keep the jewellery away from water. If it is wet, take a soft cloth and make it dry before storing it.
