How To Keep Your Rhinestone Jewelry Pieces Looking Beautiful For Years

By Marissa Velazquez


There's no denying that rhinestone jewelry pieces can make stylish women look fabulous. Whether the affair is a casual or formal one, these items can make garments look more complete and interesting. In order to be of service for a very long time, they have to be provided with the kind of special caring they need so that their dazzling appearance can be maintained.

Owners should buy high quality organizers for their prized possessions. Especially if they have amassed a large number of fashion accessories over the years, they should opt for those with multiple compartments. Being lined with a soft material that's also tarnish-proof is a great idea. Some selections offer airtight feature, perfect for items consisting of silver parts.

Placing your prized possessions in an organizer saves them from rubbing against one another. You don't want that to happen as it's just going to leave the surface of the metal parts as well as the rhinestones themselves marred by scratches. By making sure that every one of them is neatly stored in its own compartment, your fashion accessories can stay flawless.

Putting them inside organizers also saves them from getting tangled with one another. For example, necklaces may end up intertwined quickly with dangling or chandelier earrings. Stylish women who like to take with them their fashion accessories should keep them in separate pouches. The best ones to use are those out of soft fabrics like cotton, silk or velvet.

Women should remember not to place their fashion accessories under direct sunlight. They should also refrain from leaving them near electric heaters, ovens and others that give off too much heat. The metal parts may warp, causing the rhinestones to loosen or be fully dislodged. The best place to have these precious items stored is in a cool and dry area.

Always remember that these accessories should be worn last and removed first. Hairspray, cologne, lotion and other cosmetic products you use on a daily basis should be applied first before wearing your various jewelry pieces. This is done to save them from harsh chemicals that may cause them to wind up discolored. At the end of the day, take off your accessories first to prevent them from bumping against metal parts of your clothes such as buttons, pins and zippers.

Although there are all sorts of cleaning solutions on today's market, steering clear of them can ensure that these fabulous items are kept out of harm's way. Most of the time, dunking them in water with mild soap is enough to keep them sparkling. Using a soft-bristled toothbrush on trouble spots may also do the trick. It's important to have them dried completely with a soft rag out of cotton before being placed back in the organizer. Having a top-notch polishing cloth around is also recommendable.

If you want to ensure that your beautiful rhinestone jewelry pieces may be enjoyed for years, take good care of them. These items usually cost a fortune so you want to make sure your investments will last. It's recommendable to take them to an experienced jeweler every 6 months for professional cleaning and maintenance.
