Caring for Italian Charm Bracelets and Watch Faces

Italian charm bracelets and watch faces are very hard wearing. As with any piece of jewelry or watch, however, a few simple care routines will help to keep the watch and charm bracelet looking in tip top condition.

Keep It Clean

Keep the charms and watch face clean by wiping it over with a cloth every week. This will help to stop the build up of dust and grime that can take the shine off the charms and make the bracelet appear dull. Special jewelers clothes can be purchased and these are specially designed not to scratch metal.

Check the Links

The charm links are a vital part of the bracelet. Checking the links regularly for signs of damage or wear can help to stop them from becoming loose which might result in a charm getting lost.

Replace the Watch Battery

As with all battery powdered watches, it is important to replace the watch battery when it has stopped. Leaving a spent battery in a watch for any length of time can cause long term damage.
