Gold charm bracelets are a beautiful and stylish accessory and they can be worn on many occasions, but there are some situations during which you should not wear your gold charm bracelets – or you risk causing damage to your lovely jewellery. Here are a few examples:
When Swimming in the Sea or Pool
Although your gold charm bracelet might really complement your swimsuit, it’s not a good idea to wear it when you are swimming at a pool or in the sea. If you are swimming in the ocean the saltwater can erode the gold and cause it to deteriorate. If you are in a swimming pool, the chemicals such as chlorine in the water can discolour the gold and damage it. Remember to always take off your jewellery before you go for a swim.
While Playing Sports or Being Active
If you are going to participate in any strenuous activity, such as playing sports or going for a run – make sure that you take off your gold jewellery. This is for two reasons. First of all, your sweat will discolour the metal and make it look dull and dingy. Secondly, when you are enjoying active sports there is a chance that you will knock your bracelet on something and chip, scratch or break it. Your gold charm bracelet is very special to you, so don’t run the risk of having it damaged in a situation like this.
When You Are Cleaning the House
Make sure that you always take off your jewellery when you are cleaning the house. When you use chemicals such as window cleaners, bleach and other substances they can also cause a lot of damage to the gold jewellery. If your gold bracelet is something that you always wear without thinking about it, make sure that you make a mental note to remove it from your wrist before you decide to clean the house. It is even a good idea to take off your jewellery before you wash the dishes, not only so that the soap doesn’t damage it but also so that none of your charms fall into the sink.
When You Are Applying Perfume, Deodorant or Hairspray
You might be sensing a theme here – chemicals should not come into contact with your gold jewellery as they can be very damaging. The same applies for perfume, hairspray or deodorant. When you are getting ready you should apply these products first, then slip on your jewellery as the last item. This is a good rule to follow for any type of jewellery, not just gold!
When You Are Sleeping
Always take your jewellery off before you go to bed! Wearing your jewellery when you are sleeping is a bad idea, because it could twist, pull and snag and otherwise get damaged. Have a safe and secure place that you can put your gold jewellery when you take it off before bed, so that you can remove it all and put it back on again in the morning when you get dressed.
When You Are on Holiday
It is a good idea not to bring your gold jewellery with you when you go abroad. When you are a tourist in a foreign land you will be slightly more vulnerable to pickpockets and muggers because you will stand out as a visitor. It’s never wise to wear high quality jewellery when you are travelling, as it makes you a target for those who might steal from you. It’s much better to leave your gold jewellery safe at home when you travel, so that you don’t have to worry about it when you are travelling in a foreign country.
These are just a few of the situations when you should not wear gold charm bracelets, or you will run the risk of losing or damaging them. However, other than these times you can wear your charm bracelets and any other type of celebrity jewellery fashions in any situation and they will complement your look in a stylish and elegant way. Gold jewellery is timeless and always looks amazing, whether you are wearing it with a simple top and jeans or getting dolled up for a special formal event. Take care of your gold jewellery and it will last for a very long time and it will always look elegant and stylish.
