This year’s collection, titled The R.S.V.P Collection, is the jeweller’s way of commemorating the International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month. In line with his culture of celebrating remarkable women in history, this year’s collection celebrates three outstanding Nigerian women, who have made a mark in their respective endeavours.

Said Artsmith, “One of them is Mofe Bamuyiwa, the female photographer behind the viral photo of a five-year old girl who was called “The most beautiful girl in the world” by Yahoo News. The photograph became such a sensation that there is hardly any media platform locally and internationally that did not feature it.  “The other headliner is Ini Abimbola, foremost strategist and management consultant. Among leading ladies in the corporate world, Ini stands out as an amazon! She was listed as one of the “50 Most Inspiring Women in Nigeria during this year’s International Women’s Day celebration.

“The third is Abisola Akintunde, the brain behind the highly sought-after makeup brand-Makeup by Ashabee. It is difficult to think of any Nigerian female celeb whose face has not been touched by Abisola’s brushes.”

Artsmith would go on to say, “I have observed the meteoric rise of these women in their careers for a while now and for me, there’s no better time to tell the world about their feats than NOW…Indeed they are worthy of praise.”

FOR those that wear jewelries regularly, keeping them clean and looking good requires regular effort. Here are some general guidelines that may help:

Remove Your Jewelry before Bathing

Remove all jewelry before showering or cleaning. Soap can cause a film to form, making it appear dull and dingy. By preventing the formation of this film you immediately reduce the occasions of servicing.

Use Jewelry Polishing Cloths for Best Results

Polish silver or gold with a jewelry polishing cloth for best results. You can use a svelte or an old diaper, but the professional cloths are the best. Use of tissue or paper towels can cause scratches because of fibers in these products.

Clean Your Jewelry With Care

Cleaning your own jewelry regularly can keep it looking good, but be careful. You can either purchase commercial cleaners from a jeweler or make a cleaning a solution yourself. Rubbing alcohol can work wonders, but bleach can literally destroy jewelry so avoid it at all costs.

Use Warm Water to Clean Jewelry

Using warm water is the best bet when cleaning your own jewelry. How water can cause reaction with the cleaning fluids resulting in discoloration and Sterling Silver is especially susceptible to this problem. Should this occur, this problem can be remedied by buffing and the application of a tarnish remover.

Avoid Cleaning Damaged Jewelry

Never clean any jewelry that is damaged, cracked or broken, since the additional handling is likely to exacerbate or worsen the problem. If you find that a piece of jewelry is damaged, it should be set aside for repair as soon as possible.

Inspect Your Jewelry Regularly

Just like anything else, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. When having your jewelry professionally cleaned, it’s a good idea to have each item checked and inspected for any possible problems. Addressing signs of damage, or loose gemstones will prevent any further damage or loss and keep all of your pieces in excellent shape for years. www.zales.com
