Priyanka Chopra Urges Perfume First to Protect Jewellery

Experts say chemical residue from sprays and makeup can gradually damage metals and gemstones.

Overview

  • In an Elle interview, Chopra advised finishing perfume, hairspray and other aerosols before putting on jewellery to keep residue off pieces.
  • Jewellers explain that alcohols and other chemicals can discolor finishes, cloud stones and corrode delicate settings, so cosmetics should be allowed to dry before wearing.
  • For daily-wear items, experts recommend gentle weekly cleaning with mild soap, water and a soft toothbrush, avoiding harsh products or rough handling.
  • Specialists advise storing pieces separately in soft-lined compartments or pouches and avoiding reactive metal lockers where moisture and polish can harm metals.
  • The guidance aligns with red-carpet and fine-jewellery practice, alongside tips to remove pieces for pools, workouts or chores and to keep certification for valuables.
