Caring for Antique and Heritage Jewellery: Preserving Beauty and Value

 

Antique and heritage jewellery offers a captivating glimpse into the past, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship, timeless style, and cultural legacy of bygone eras. At FILIGREE Collection, we take immense pride in crafting Kundan, Meenakari, and Thewa jewellery that encapsulates the opulent heritage and traditions of India. Each exquisite creation not only serves as a breathtaking ornament but also becomes a cherished heirloom. By treasuring and nurturing antique and heritage jewellery, we pay homage to their captivating narratives and safeguard their historical and artistic significance, ensuring they endure for generations to come.

 

CLEANING

To maintain the beauty of your antique and heritage jewellery, it's important to handle them with care during cleaning. We suggest using a soft microfiber cloth to gently wipe the surface and intricate corners. It's crucial to avoid harsh and abrasive chemicals that could potentially harm the delicate kundan jewellery. If the plating starts to wear off, please don't hesitate to reach out to us via email at info@filigreecollection.com. We'll gladly assist you in replacing it for a nominal additional cost.

 

STORING

To ensure the long-lasting beauty of your antique and heritage jewellery, proper storage is key. Select a storage option that offers gentle protection, such as a lined jewellery box or a soft fabric pouch. Keeping each piece stored separately prevents any potential tangling or scratching. For added protection against tarnishing, consider using anti-tarnish strips or silica gel packets to absorb excess moisture. Moreover, it's essential to shield your cherished pieces from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, as these can lead to damage over time. By following these thoughtful storage practices, you preserve the allure of your jewellery and safeguard its historical significance for years to come.

 

PREVENTING DAMAGE

When it comes to antique and heritage jewellery, their allure is undeniable. But it's wise to save them for moments when their elegance can truly shine, rather than donning them during risky escapades. Sports and household chores, while filled with energy, can put these delicate treasures in harm's way. Their intricate integrity deserves to be cherished and protected. So, hold onto them for occasions that let their beauty dance and be admired.

To maintain the timeless beauty of your antique and heritage jewellery, regular inspections are key. Take a moment to marvel at the intricate craftsmanship that brought these treasures to life. With gentle hands, explore each delicate detail, searching for any loose stones, clasps, or signs of wear. Treat them with tenderness, using clean and dry hands to avoid dulling their radiance with oils or dirt.

 

FINAL THOUGHTS

When you embrace these mindful practices, you not only preserve the allure of your antique and heritage jewellery but also pay homage to the artistry and legacy that FILIGREE Collection's Kundan, Meenakari, and Thewa jewellery represent. Our exquisite pieces deserve to be cherished and admired on special occasions, their elegance radiating with every glance. Through regular inspections and gentle handling, you tenderly safeguard their delicate charm, ensuring that the intricate craftsmanship endures for generations to come.
