Festive season in India means colour, joy, and endless celebrations — but it also means chaos! Between Diwali parties, wedding invites, and family gatherings, your jewellery often becomes the silent victim of last-minute rush. At TreasureDrum Jewellery, we design anti-tarnish, premium imitation jewellery so your sparkle lasts for years. But caring for your pieces is equally important.
Here are the top 5 mistakes you should avoid this festive season to keep your zircon earrings, Meena work jewellery, kundan hoops, and Swarovski-inspired pieces looking new and radiant.
1️⃣ Wearing Jewellery Right After Makeup or Perfume
We all love a last-minute touch-up, but perfumes, hairsprays, and lotions can damage the polish of imitation jewellery.
Tip: Always apply your makeup, fragrance, and setting spray before wearing jewellery. Wait a few minutes until products dry completely, then wear your anti-tarnish earrings or pendants.
2️⃣ Mixing Jewellery Types in One Box
During Diwali or Navratri, it’s easy to toss everything into one jewellery pouch. But this causes scratches, especially on zircon-set or enamel pieces.
Tip: Store each piece separately — use soft velvet pouches or anti-tarnish zip bags. Add a small silica gel packet to absorb moisture.
3️⃣ Ignoring Post-Wear Cleaning
Festive heat, sweat, and makeup residue can slowly dull shine.
Tip: After each use, gently wipe your jewellery with a soft dry cloth (microfiber is best). Avoid water and harsh cleaning liquids.
4️⃣ Wearing Jewellery All Day and Night
Even anti-tarnish coatings need rest! Sleeping, showering, or exercising with jewellery on can loosen clasps or stones.
Tip: Remove your jewellery before bed and let it “breathe” overnight. This helps Meena work and kundan settings last longer.
5️⃣ Storing Near Heat or Direct Sunlight
Indian festivals often include diyas, candles, and outdoor events — heat can fade plating or enamel work.
Tip: Store your jewellery in a cool, dry drawer, away from direct light or heat sources.
