Tips to Take Care of Your Bridal Jewellery

Because the sparkle of your big day deserves to last forever

Your bridal jewellery isn't just gold, diamonds and gemstones—it's emotion, tradition, and artistry rolled into one. Whether it’s the diamond necklace your mom gave you, the polki earrings you wore at your mehendi, or the statement emerald bracelet that completed your wedding look—each piece is precious, both sentimentally and financially.

 

At Sarika Fine Jewellery, we believe every bride deserves to keep that wedding-day glow intact for years to come. So here are our top tips to help you care for your bridal jewellery—with love and a little sparkle.

 

Tip #1: Store Your Bridal Jewellery Properly

Where your jewellery sleeps matters.

The first step in preserving your jewellery’s beauty is storing it the right way. Tangles, tarnish, and scratches? Totally avoidable.

 

Do’s & Don’ts of Storing Bridal Jewellery

✔ Do:

       Use a velvet-lined, multi-compartment box.

       Store different metals and stones separately.

       Keep each piece in soft pouches or zip pouches.

✘ Don’t:

       Toss everything into a single drawer.

       Let pieces rub against each other.

       Store in humid or sunlit areas.

 

Tip #2: Clean Your Wedding Jewellery Regularly

Your jewels need a spa day too!

Regular cleaning keeps that bridal sparkle alive. But before you soak your emerald necklace in soapy water—pause. Each gem and metal has its own TLC routine.

 

How to Clean Your Jewellery at Home (Safely):

       Diamonds & Gold: Soak in lukewarm water with mild dish soap. Gently brush with a soft toothbrush.

       Polki/Kundan: Never immerse in water. Just wipe gently with a dry muslin cloth, and if it's tarnished, gently rub it with an eraser.

       Pearls: Wipe after every use with a muslin cloth—never soak.

 

Tip #3: Avoid Chemicals & Harsh Substances

Your jewellery doesn’t love hairspray and perfume as much as you do.

Bridal jewellery is delicate. Exposure to perfumes, lotions, hand sanitizers, makeup, or even sweat can cause damage over time.

 

What to Watch Out For:

       Perfumes: Can dull the sparkle of stones.

       Hairspray: Can form a sticky film on your diamonds.

       Moisture & sweat: Cause tarnish, especially on silver and uncut stones.

Pro Tip: Always wear your jewellery after you’ve finished dressing up and spritzing your perfume.

 

Tip #4: Wear Your Bridal Jewellery with Care

Slay your look, but don’t stress your jewellery.

Whether it’s that stunning Tika or heavy polki set—handling with care can prevent snags, bends, or stone loss.

 

Tips to Keep in Mind:

       Remove jewellery before changing clothes to avoid accidental tugs.

       Be mindful while dancing or during haldi/mehendi ceremonies—residue can dull gemstones.

       For back-to-back events, rotate your jewellery to avoid overuse of one piece.

Sarika’s Tip: Assign a bridesmaid to help you put on and remove the jewellery carefully—those tiny clasps and hooks can be tricky!

 

Tip #5: Get Professional Maintenance & Polishing

Think of it as an annual check-up—for your bridal sparkle.

Even with the best care, your jewellery will benefit from expert polishing and inspection.

 

Why It Matters:

       Polishing restores the original shine.

       Experts check for loose stones or clasps.

       Deep cleaning removes embedded dirt safely.

 

At Sarika Fine Jewellery, we offer complimentary polishing and inspections for our bridal clients up to 1 year post-purchase—because we know how much your memories mean.

 

Conclusion

Your bridal jewellery is a part of your legacy—it's what you’ll pass down, what you’ll revisit in photos, and what will always remind you of your most special day. With a little care, it will shine just as brightly.

 

At Sarika Fine Jewellery, we don’t just design jewellery—we craft memories. And we’re here to help you preserve them.
