2. Cleaning with Ultrasonic Cleaner
You can also use an ultrasonic cleaner to make your Pandora bracelet shine like new. But use this method only to clean plain silver jewelry. Because the vibration of the ultrasonic cleaner may loosen the settings of your stone-set bracelet.
In some cases, this can harm some gemstones in your jewelry. So be careful of using them for stoned jewelry.
For me, I’d hardly recommend this method for shining your beautiful bracelet.
Storing
After making your bracelet shine again you need to store it carefully to prevent it from getting dull again.
- Store your Pandora bracelet away from heat and sunlight.
- Store it in a tarnish-resistant pouch which you can get easily at any Pandora retailer. You can also store it in a lined jewelry box or ziplock polythene bag.
- Never store your bracelet in the lovely gift box that it comes with. Because they are not designed for long time storage. Moreover, they are not airtight which can easily cause a tarnish to your bracelet.
Annual Inspection
Gold and silver both are soft metals & will get signs of wear as time passes. So, depending on how often you wear your favorite Pandora bracelet you need to go to your nearest Pandora store once a year to get it checked.
The jeweler will check the mounts, hooks, and soldering and make sure that they all are intact and that you can use them without any tension.
