How to Care for Your Temple Jewellery

Temple jewellery is made to be treasured, and a little care goes a long way. The rich gold polish on each piece is durable, but like all fine finishes it loves to be kept away from moisture, perfume and harsh chemicals.

Make jewellery the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off. Apply perfume, hairspray and lotions first, and let them settle before you adorn yourself.

After wearing, wipe each piece gently with a soft, dry cotton cloth to remove any oils. Store pieces separately in their pouches or the Vyshnavi box so stones and drops don't scratch each other.

Keep a small sachet of silica gel in your jewellery box to absorb humidity — especially during the monsoon. With these small habits, your favourite pieces will stay as radiant as the day they arrived.
