Owning a pair of Kundan Earrings is like owning a piece of art—they’re timeless, elegant, and can elevate any outfit in an instant. But just like any treasured piece of jewellery, they need proper care to maintain their sparkle and charm. If you’ve ever wondered how to clean and care for your Kundan earrings without damaging their delicate craftsmanship, you’re in the right place. Let’s dive into some easy, practical tips to keep your jewellery as dazzling as the day you bought it!
Why Do Kundan Earrings Need Special Care?
Kundan jewellery, including earrings, is crafted using an ancient technique where gemstones are set in a gold or metal base using a lac or resin backing. This makes them stunningly intricate but also more delicate than other types of jewellery. Dust, moisture, and improper storage can dull their shine over time.
A little care goes a long way in ensuring your Kundan Earrings remain as beautiful as ever.
How to Clean Kundan Earrings
Follow these easy steps to safely clean your Kundan earrings:
1. Use a Soft, Dry Cloth
The best way to remove surface dust and dirt is by gently wiping the earrings with a soft, lint-free cloth. This ensures you don’t scratch the gemstones or the metal.
2. Avoid Water and Harsh Chemicals
Kundan jewellery is not water-resistant, and exposure to water can loosen the adhesive used in its making. Stay away from soap, detergent, or any cleaning solution that could damage the delicate settings.
3. Opt for a Gentle Brush
For intricate designs, use a soft-bristled brush (like a makeup brush) to clean hard-to-reach areas. Gently dust the corners and crevices to remove accumulated dirt.
4. Try an Alcohol-Free Wipe
If your earrings look a little dull, lightly swipe them with an alcohol-free baby wipe. This helps clean them without damaging the lac base or gemstones.
How to Store Kundan Earrings Properly
Proper storage is just as important as cleaning when it comes to preserving your jewellery. Here’s how to store your Kundan Earrings the right way:
1. Use a Soft Pouch or Box
Wrap your earrings in a soft, microfiber cloth or store them in a padded jewellery box. This prevents scratches and keeps the stones from rubbing against each other.
2. Keep Them Away from Moisture
Store your earrings in a dry, cool place to avoid exposure to moisture, which can weaken the adhesive and tarnish the metal. You can even place silica gel packets in your jewellery box to absorb excess moisture.
3. Avoid Storing with Other Jewellery
Kundan earrings are delicate and can easily get scratched if stored with other jewellery pieces. Use separate compartments or pouches to keep them safe.
Dos and Don’ts of Caring for Kundan Earrings
Here’s a quick list of what to do—and what not to do:
Dos
- Wear your Kundan earrings after applying makeup, perfume, and hairspray.
- Clean them regularly with a soft cloth to maintain their shine.
- Store them properly to prevent tangling or scratching.
Don’ts
- Avoid exposing them to water, including during hand washing or rain.
- Don’t use ultrasonic cleaners, as they can damage the delicate settings.
- Never pull or tug on the earrings to remove them; handle them gently.
When to Get Professional Cleaning
While regular at-home care works for most situations, you might need professional cleaning if:
- The gemstones look cloudy or lose their sparkle.
- The adhesive loosens, causing gemstones to shift or fall out.
- You notice tarnishing or discoloration on the metal.
A jeweller experienced in handling Kundan jewellery will know how to restore your earrings without compromising their intricate design.
