How to Wear and Preserve Jewellery Every Day
Valuable Tips to Elevate Your Style and Ensure Your Jewellery’s Longevity
In this article, we share valuable recommendations for making your jewellery an ally to your style, guaranteeing sophistication and longevity.
Jewellery is a symbol of elegance, a precious memory and an extension of our personal style. Often associated with formal events, some believe they should be reserved for special occasions only. However, Monseo invites you to rethink this idea.
Everyday Jewellery: A Touch of Sophistication
Wearing jewellery every day is not about ostentation but about adding a subtle touch of refinement that enhances any outfit. According to Monseo’s philosophy, certain essential care practices ensure your jewellery remains stunning over time, preserving its brilliance and sentimental value.
1. Guidelines for Use and Preservation
Monseo emphasises the importance of handling each piece delicately. This means avoiding sudden impacts and removing them when washing hands or applying cosmetics. Keep them away from sources of intense heat and avoid sudden changes in temperature. We also stress the need to be careful when in contact with chemical products, as substances such as perfumes and creams can compromise the integrity of metals and precious stones.
Throughout the day, small daily habits can make a difference: remove your rings before using cleaning products, avoid sleeping with necklaces that could break or become tangled, and store your jewellery safely as soon as you get home to prevent accidental loss.
2. Regular Cleaning and Maintenance
Maintaining your jewellery is essential to preserve its shine and beauty over the years. Monseo recommends periodically cleaning jewellery to remove accumulated residue and restore its splendour.
A simple soft dry cloth can work wonders for everyday jewellery. However, for more delicate jewellery, it is essential to seek professional maintenance services. Annual visits to authorised agents or our boutique ensure that clasps and fasteners are in perfect condition, preventing accidental loss and ensuring the durability of your jewellery
3. How to store your jewellery
To prolong the life of your jewellery, proper storage is essential. Storing each piece separately prevents contact between metals and stones, minimising risks and damage.
Monseo recommends using jewelry cases, lined with soft material and with individual compartments for each one. Keeping chains closed and properly organized prevents knots and twists that could compromise their structure.
Also, avoid storing jewellery in damp places or places subject to temperature variations. Dry places protected from direct sunlight help preserve the colour and shine of your jewels.
4. Smart Choices for Different Occasions
Jewellery can and should be worn every day, provided you choose wisely.For everyday wear, opt for versatile and timeless jewellery, such as gold solitaire rings, delicate bracelets and minimalist necklaces.
If you work in a formal environment, discreet jewellery with a classic design is an excellent choice for a sophisticated yet understated look. For a more casual look, you can opt for combinations of overlapping necklaces or small, elegant earrings.
Monseo suggests avoiding wearing very elaborate jewellery during physical activities or household chores, to ensure its longevity.
Jewellery: An Extension of Personality
Wearing jewellery every day is more than an act of style, it's a personal expression. Each piece of jewellery tells a story and carries unique significance. Incorporating them into everyday life allows those stories to always be with you, making ordinary moments even more special.
Monseo believes that the secret lies in balancing sophistication with care. Investing time in the care of your jewellery is also investing in its sentimental value and durability. More than luxury objects, they are treasures that can be passed down from generation to generation.
Remember, caring for your jewellery means preserving the memories and significance it holds. Small everyday gestures make all the difference in maintaining the shine and beauty of your jewellery over time.
