Gearing up for honeymooning in a heatwave? As temperatures soar to above 40 degrees across Europe, it's inevitable that the matter of jewellery can be overlooked. The team at Chisholm Hunter take you through some hacks on how to protect those pearls and keep the gold gleaming.

1. protecting jewellery from sunlight is an easy way to ensure longevity – amethyst and citrine are just two stones with low colour stability


2. contact with sun cream and sand cause stones to loose their shine


3. water exposure, whether is contains chlorine or salt, can tarnish


4. taking the time to pack your necklaces with care prevents tangling and scratching


5. hiding jewellery in every-day items, whether on the beach or in a hotel is useful, for concealing the valuables


6. understanding the warranty and insurance cover on your prized pieces ensures you can wear them care-free


7. keeping kids away from your small jewellery protects them from possible choking hazards


8. avoiding harsh cleaning methods means less scratches


9. regular inspections prevents further damage
