How to Care for and Clean Your Cufflinks

Cufflinks are an essential piece to any stylish wardrobe. They are the quickest, and easiest way to take your look to the next level of sophistication and class.  But as with any piece of jewelry, proper care and maintenance will ensure that your investment will last and look perfect for years to come. Read on for our guide on the essentials of cufflink care.

Do it Yourself – At Home Care

Preventive care one of the most important things you can do for your cufflinks. This easiest way to ensure that your investment will stay in excellent condition without the need for professional repair or maintenance.

First things first, when it comes to jewelry care, you want to prevent tarnishing and dust accumulation. The best way to do this is to wear your cufflinks regularly. The last thing you want is to let them gather dust. Dust accumulation will cause tarnishing and can require expensive repairs. When you buy a new pair of cufflinks, wear them regularly. Look for any excuse to wear the cufflinks and show off your fabulous style.

The next piece of cufflink care also has to do with wearing them frequently. When you wear your cufflinks a lot, you get a chance to inspect them. If you notice any tarnishing or scuffing, then you can step in and fix the issue before any real damage occurs.

If you do notice tarnishing or dust, keep a silver or gold polishing cloth handy and wipe the cufflinks down gently.

Another essential step of DIY cufflink care is storing them. Don’t just throw them in a drawer and expect them to remain perfect. Keep them in a cufflink box to ensure that they stay clean and scuff free. When considering a case, make sure that it will not let too much sunlight in and closes securely. Cases like this are designed with cufflinks in mind and will prevent oxidation, tarnishing, and damage from excessive heat, thus ensuring your collection stays in peak condition.

m. Although accidents do happen, try to be aware of situations where your cufflinks might get damaged. A good rule of thumb is to take them off in certain circumstances. Think of them like your Smartphone and where you would not want to go with it. Activities like swimming or rough and rowdy situations are not an option for cufflinks.

Professional Care

Next up is professional care. Whether you choose professional services for regular maintenance or damages, it’s essential you find a qualified individual who knows what they are doing. While most jewelers will be able to care for cufflinks, be sure you go with someone who has experience with cufflink care. While professional services can be costly, they are great for severe damages as well as routine care. Also, if you happen to scuff your cufflinks to the point of throwing them away, be sure you talk to a jewelry cleaner first. You’d be amazed at what they can do to restore your prized possessions!

When properly cared for your cufflinks will look their best and last for years to come. Cufflinks are a popular family heirloom, and the best way to ensure that future generations can treasure them is to care for them.
