Imitation jewellery can look beautiful for a long time if it is cared for properly. Most damage comes from moisture, chemicals and friction. A few simple habits make a real difference, especially in Pune's humid monsoon months.
Last on, first off
Put jewellery on after perfume, hair spray, lotion and makeup have dried. Take it off before bathing, exercising, swimming or going to bed.
Keep it dry
Water and sweat speed up tarnishing. If pieces get damp, wipe them gently with a soft, dry cloth before storing.
Avoid chemicals
Perfume, deodorant, sanitiser and cleaning products can dull plating and loosen stones. Keep jewellery away from them.
Clean gently
- 1Wipe each piece with a soft, dry microfibre or cotton cloth after wearing.
- 2For dust in intricate designs, use a soft, dry makeup brush.
- 3Avoid soaking imitation jewellery in water or using harsh polishes.
- 4For stone-set and kundan pieces, follow the specific tips in our kundan and stone jewellery cleaning guide.
Store separately
Keep each piece in its own pouch, box or compartment so pieces do not scratch or tangle. Airtight zip pouches help limit exposure to air and moisture. See our storage guide.
Monsoon tips for Pune
- Store jewellery with silica gel sachets to absorb moisture.
- Avoid keeping jewellery in bathrooms.
- Check stored pieces occasionally and wipe off any moisture.
Handle with care
Hold necklaces by the clasp rather than pulling the chain, and avoid bending bangles to fit.
