Wearing silver jewelry on adventures can be a great way to wear your adventure jewelry, but it's essential to take proper care to ensure your jewelry remains in good condition and can continue with you on adventures for many years to come. I mean, jewelry is meant to be worn, not sit in a box. Here are some tips on how to wear your silver jewelry on adventures:
- Choose the right pieces:
- Opt for jewelry that is durable and less likely to get damaged. I always choose studs (you could back them up with these) and dangle earrings that clip onto my ears. I always use extra caution wearing bracelets and rings especially if I know I will be using my hands a lot on my adventure.
- Clean your jewelry beforehand:
- Before heading out on your adventure, clean your silver jewelry to remove any dirt, oils, or tarnish. For my recommendations on caring for a cleaning your jewelry, read this page here: https://trailmadedesigns.com/pages/jewelry-care
- Avoid contact with harsh chemicals:
- Keep your silver jewelry away from chemicals like sunscreen, bug spray, chlorine, and cleaning products. These can tarnish or corrode silver over time. These are especially important to keep away from stones in your jewelry.
- Protect from abrasive surfaces:
- Be mindful of the surfaces your jewelry might encounter. Avoid letting it scrape against rocks, trees, or other rough surfaces that could scratch or dent the metal.
- Store your jewelry safely:
- When not wearing your silver jewelry, store it in a separate pouch or compartment to prevent it from tangling with other items or getting scratched. A soft jewelry bag or pouch is ideal for this purpose. This bag would be perfect.
- Consider a sealable bag:
- For particularly adventurous activities like camping or water sports, consider sealing your jewelry in a small, airtight bag to protect it from moisture and dirt. A ziplock works fine or consider one of these stasher bags.
- Regularly check for damage:
- After your adventure, inspect your silver jewelry for any signs of damage, such as scratches, dents, or loose stones. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage. I recommend reaching out to your local jewelry store or the jeweler you purchased the piece from for repair advice and questions.
- Clean and polish after each adventure:
- Clean your silver jewelry after each adventure to remove sweat, dirt, and oils that may have accumulated. Use a silver polishing cloth or a gentle silver polish to restore its shine. I love these and include them in order over $60.
- Wear with care:
- Be mindful of how you wear your silver jewelry during your adventures. Avoid excessive tugging, twisting, or bending, which can weaken the metal or cause it to break.
By following these tips and being mindful of your jewelry while on adventures, you can enjoy your jewelry while ensuring it remains in good condition for years to come!
