JEWELLERY CARE
Even if you do not wear much jewellery in these days, don't neglect it, or even let it get soiled. Unless jewellery, real or imitation, is kept absolutely clean, much of its beauty is lost.
Gold, when new, is bright and shining, but it soon wears down in tone. The higher the carat the brighter colour the gold.
Gold is kept beautifully clean by using a paste of ordinary powdered rouge and water. Apply with a soft brush. But take care if any jewels are set in the gold—as water may harm these. In such cases use only dry powder. Pearls never look their best unless frequently worn, the warmth of the human skin brings out their true lustre as nothing else can do. If they appear dull, wash them in lukewarm soapflakes, but do not submerge, afterwards rinsing in clear water. Then drop the peals into a saucerful of jeweller's sawdust, shake, and finally polish with a silk handkerchief.
