How to Care for Your Jewellery in Pakistan's Humidity

Pakistan's climate, with its humid summers and monsoon season, can be tough on jewellery. Moisture is the main enemy of gold-plated and artificial pieces, causing them to tarnish or fade faster. The good news: with a few simple habits, you can keep your jewellery looking new for far longer. Here's how to care for your jewellery in Pakistan's humidity.

Why humidity affects jewellery

Moisture in the air reacts with metals and speeds up tarnishing, especially on gold-plated pieces. Sweat during hot weather adds to this, which is why jewellery often dulls faster in summer than winter.

Simple care habits

• Keep pieces dry: remove jewellery before showering, washing hands, or swimming.
• Last on, first off: put jewellery on after perfume, lotion and makeup, and take it off first when you get home.
• Wipe after wearing: gently wipe each piece with a soft, dry cloth to remove sweat and oils.
• Store airtight: keep jewellery in a sealed pouch or box, ideally with a small silica gel packet to absorb moisture.
• Separate pieces: store items individually so they don't scratch each other.

During monsoon season

Be extra careful in the rainy months. Avoid wearing your best pieces out in humid, wet conditions, and make sure jewellery is completely dry before storing it away.
