We already know that bezel setting is one way of modernizing and hyping up your jewelry pieces. It is a method of securing precious gemstones onto your piece of jewelry.
Bezel setting is even considered the oldest method for setting precious stones that is both simple and versatile and can really make such difference to your jewelry pieces.
One advantage of bezel setting precious stones is that it securely puts your gems in place. A special kind of metal steel is wrapped around the perimeter or the circumference of your gemstones and a minute measurement is made just above the stones to protect it from damage especially scratches caused by external friction. It also protects your stone from dust, dirt and nicks. And this kind of setting is considered by many people as sleek and versatile that is clean, have a stream lined look making your jewelry pieces more modern in look and stressing out the elegance and your personality in style.
Bezel setting can also be made partially where the metal used is wrapped around partly on the gem allowing a more visible part of the gem to be seen.
So how do you maintain the elegant look of the bezel setting? Cleaning and maintaining it the right way.
Because bezel setting is an intricate way or method of jewelry making, it has more intricate parts which makes dust, dirt and even your own skin oil stick to those hard to reach areas when you are cleaning your jewelry pieces. Although bezel setting can help protect your gems from getting lost because it secures it in place and prevents external damage through the extended part of the metal over the gem, it does not protect your precious stones entirely from dust particles to enter through the small openings. And if you don’t clean it soon or you poorly clean it, the long time result is your jewelry pieces have these unruly and unclean look which in turn can lessen the glamour and elegant look of your pieces. How do you clean the intricate parts? Simply use a soft bristle tooth brush and use also a cleaner prescribed by a trusted jeweler to clean your pieces.
Make sure you clean it gently because rigid and rough handling may dislodge some of your gems. Rub your pieces dry with a clean cotton cloth and leave it dry. Store it on a jewelry box that is moisture free and as much as possible have separate pouches or zip in bags for each gemstones or jewelry pieces, not only do you protect each pieces you also have that systematic and organized way of storing it. So that when the time comes that you have to use one piece or a set of jewelries, you only get the pouch and not get all the jewelry sets and rummage through them.
Most importantly, use each piece with care. You have to use them so that these gems can also be shown off and you get to also clean them after each use.
I also suggest that you can have it cleaned by a professional like a trusted jeweler. They can clean your bezeled jewelry sparkling clean like it is brand new. Always maintain your pieces in good condition; in this way you are able to preserve the beauty of each jewelry pieces.
