Winter Special: How to Care for Your Kundan Jewellery in Cold Weather | Danish Jewellers

As the winter season rolls in, bringing chilly winds and cozy evenings, it’s the perfect time to break out your most exquisite jewellery—especially your Kundan pieces. With their intricate craftsmanship and stunning brilliance, Kundan jewellery is a timeless addition to any collection. However, the cold weather can sometimes pose unique challenges when it comes to caring for your precious jewels.

At Danish Jewellers, we understand the importance of keeping your Kundan jewellery in pristine condition, no matter the season. That's why we've put together some essential tips on how to care for your Kundan jewellery in cold weather. By following these simple guidelines, you can ensure that your jewellery stays radiant and beautiful for years to come.

Why Winter Care for Kundan Jewellery Matters

Kundan jewellery is known for its intricate craftsmanship, where uncut gemstones are meticulously set in gold or silver. While Kundan pieces are known for their durability, they can be vulnerable to certain environmental factors, especially in the colder months.

Winter can bring about:

• Dry air that can cause certain metals to tarnish.
• Moisture that may weaken adhesives and settings.
• Harsh weather conditions that may damage delicate stones.

Taking proper care of your Kundan jewellery during winter ensures its longevity, preserves its shine, and prevents any wear or damage due to these factors.

Top Tips for Caring for Kundan Jewellery in Cold Weather

1. Keep Your Jewellery Dry

Winter often brings snow and rain, which means higher humidity levels and moisture in the air. Kundan jewellery, particularly the delicate settings, can be affected by excess moisture, leading to tarnishing or weakening of the gemstones.

How to protect your Kundan jewellery:

• Always remove your jewellery before stepping out in wet weather, whether it’s snow, rain, or even heavy fog.
• Store your jewellery in a dry place, away from any sources of moisture. If you live in a particularly humid environment, consider using silica gel packets in your jewellery box to absorb excess moisture.

2. Avoid Exposure to Harsh Chemicals

In winter, people often use lotions, creams, and hand sanitizers to combat dry skin. While these products are great for your skin, they can cause damage to your Kundan jewellery, especially when it comes to the stones and metals.

How to protect your Kundan jewellery:

• Always apply your skin care products before putting on your Kundan pieces.
• Avoid direct contact with perfumes, hairsprays, or cleaning products, as these can cause the stones to lose their luster or cause the metal to tarnish.
• Wipe down your jewellery gently with a soft, lint-free cloth if it accidentally comes into contact with any products.

3. Store Jewellery Properly

During winter, it’s easy to leave jewellery lying around when you're not wearing it. However, Kundan jewellery is delicate and needs careful storage to prevent any damage, especially to the stones or intricate settings.

How to store your Kundan jewellery:

• Use a soft-lined jewellery box to store your Kundan pieces when not in use.
• Keep your jewellery pieces in individual pouches or compartments to prevent scratching or tangling.
• If possible, store your Kundan jewellery in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.

4. Protect from Physical Impact

Winter clothing tends to be bulkier, and as you layer up in sweaters, coats, and scarves, you may find yourself brushing up against furniture, door handles, or other surfaces that can potentially damage your delicate Kundan pieces. It’s important to handle your jewellery carefully and avoid any unnecessary physical impact.

How to protect your Kundan jewellery:

• Remove your jewellery before performing any physical activities such as gardening, cooking, or sports.
• Be mindful when dressing—try to put your jewellery on after your outfit is completely on to avoid any accidental snags.

5. Clean Your Kundan Jewellery Regularly

Kundan jewellery, with its combination of uncut diamonds, precious stones, and metals, often requires more care than regular jewellery. In winter, when air tends to be drier, oils from your skin or dust can accumulate on the surface of your pieces, leading to dullness over time.

How to clean your Kundan jewellery:

• Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off dust, dirt, and oils from your Kundan jewellery after each wear. Avoid using abrasive cloths that may scratch the surface.
• For a deeper clean, use a mild soap solution with lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush to gently clean the jewellery. Be cautious not to get the stones too wet, as excessive moisture can damage the settings.
• After cleaning, dry the jewellery completely before storing it.

6. Avoid Wearing Jewellery While Sleeping

During winter, we tend to have longer nights, and it's tempting to leave your jewellery on even while you sleep. However, sleeping with your Kundan jewellery on can cause unnecessary stress on the delicate settings, especially the stones and metalwork.

How to protect your Kundan jewellery:

• Always remove your jewellery before going to bed.
• Store it in a secure, soft pouch to avoid accidental damage during the night.

7. Check for Loose Stones and Settings

Kundan jewellery involves intricate stone settings, and the cold weather can cause some stones to shift or become loose. Regularly checking for any loose stones or settings will ensure that your jewellery stays intact and prevents you from losing any valuable gemstones.

How to check your Kundan jewellery:

• Examine your jewellery before and after wearing it. Gently tap on the stones to see if any feel loose.
• If you find any loose stones or if you notice damage, it’s best to take your jewellery to a professional for repairs as soon as possible.
