At Shelly Jewels, we understand the allure of a Kundan choker set, a timeless piece of Indian jewelry that exudes elegance and heritage. Known for their intricate designs, vibrant stones, and gold-plated or oxidized finishes, Kundan chokers are a favorite for weddings, festivals, and special occasions. Proper care is essential to maintain their sparkle and intricate beauty. In this guide, we share expert tips from Shelly Jewels to help you care for your Kundan choker set, ensuring it remains a cherished part of your collection for years.
Kundan choker sets, like those in our Shelly Jewels Kundan Collection, feature delicate imitation stones set in gold-plated or oxidized alloys, often with intricate filigree or enamel work. These materials are sensitive to moisture, chemicals, and physical damage, making proper care crucial to preserve their shine, color, and structural integrity.
Kundan stones and their settings can be damaged by water or harsh cleaning agents, which may loosen stones or dull the gold-plated or oxidized finish.
How to Clean: Wipe your Shelly Jewels Kundan Choker Set with a soft, dry microfiber cloth after each use to remove oils, sweat, or dust. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth (with water only) and dry immediately with a dry cloth.
Tip: Avoid soaking or using soap, as it can damage the adhesive holding the Kundan stones or affect the metal’s finish.
Improper storage can lead to scratches, tarnishing, or loosening of stones in your Kundan choker set.
How to Store: Keep your choker in a soft, velvet-lined pouch or a separate compartment in a jewelry box to avoid contact with other pieces. For sets with multiple pieces (e.g., necklace, earrings, maang tikka), store each item separately to prevent tangling or scratching.
Tip: Use an airtight container or add silica gel packets to the storage area to reduce humidity and prevent oxidation, especially for Shelly Jewels Oxidized Kundan Sets.
Chemicals in perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, or household cleaners can erode the gold plating, dull Kundan stones, or discolor the metal.
How to Protect: Always apply makeup, perfume, or lotions before wearing your Kundan choker set. Remove the set before cleaning, cooking, or engaging in activities involving chemicals.
Tip: For events like weddings, put on your Shelly Jewels Kundan Bridal Set as the final step in your routine to minimize exposure to beauty products.
Kundan choker sets are often intricate, with delicate stone settings and detailed craftsmanship that can be damaged by rough handling.
How to Handle: Hold your choker by the metal band or clasp, avoiding direct pressure on the Kundan stones. When wearing or removing, gently adjust the clasp to avoid bending or stressing the structure.
Tip: For elaborate pieces like Shelly Jewels Kundan Chokers with heavy stonework, avoid pulling or stretching to maintain the integrity of the design.
Moisture, including sweat, can tarnish the gold plating or oxidized finish and affect the adhesive securing Kundan stones.
How to Protect: Remove your Kundan choker set before swimming, showering, exercising, or engaging in activities that cause sweating. Avoid wearing during humid weather or store in a dry, cool place.
Tip: If your Shelly Jewels Kundan Necklace gets wet, dry it immediately with a soft cloth to prevent damage.
Regular checks can help you spot and address minor issues before they become major problems, such as loose stones or worn plating.
How to Maintain: Inspect your choker set periodically for loose Kundan stones, worn clasps, or signs of tarnishing. If you notice any issues, consult a professional jeweler for repairs.
Tip: Shelly Jewels offers care guides with every purchase, and our customer support team can advise on maintaining pieces like our Kundan Maang Tikkas or Earrings.
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can fade Kundan stones or affect the metal’s finish. Store your Shelly Jewels Kundan Set away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
Rotate Wear: To prevent overuse, rotate your Kundan choker with other pieces, like our CZ Necklaces or Oxidized Bangles, to reduce wear and tear.
Use Anti-Tarnish Strips: Place anti-tarnish strips in your storage box to absorb moisture and prevent oxidation, especially for gold-plated or oxidized Kundan sets.
