Keeping Your Rhinestone Jewelry Pieces Staying Beautiful For A Long Time

By Nelda Powers


Various rhinestone jewelry pieces can make women shine whether they are attending a formal occasion or performing on stage. It's important to keep these accessories looking their best so that they may carry out their job of making their wearers steal the spotlight. By giving them the right kind of love and care, they may be enjoyed for a very long time.

One very important thing that the owners of these dazzling items should always remember is that they're not the same as their daily fashion accessories. This means that they require a different way of being maintained. Opting for the wrong procedures can leave these accessories ruined, in particular the rhinestones that make them cause a lot of heads turn.

Moisture is the primary enemies of these types of accessories. Majority of the rhinestones available these days come with foil backings responsible for their beauty. Without those essential parts, these accessories may no longer be able to make a lot of heads turn. It goes without saying that using jewelry cleaning solutions available on the market is a terrible idea.

For cleaning them on a regular basis, it's usually enough to have the surface of rhinestones wiped with a lint-free cloth. Doing this procedure as necessary helps prevents the piling up of dirt and grime, something that's harder to remove after a while. To remove dust and other unwanted particles on the metal parts, a soft-bristled toothbrush can help to the trick.

There are times when a simple wiping won't bring back the natural luster of those rhinestones. Whenever this is the case, A few drops of rubbing alcohol may be placed on the cleaning cloth. This is often enough to remove stubborn surface stains that prevent those gem-like ornaments from sparkling. It's also possible to use glass cleaner instead of rubbing alcohol.

As mentioned before, the foil backing of rhinestones can be damaged easily by moisture. That is why placing the accessory face down on an absorbent material like a paper towel has to be done after every cleaning. This removes any rubbing alcohol or glass cleaner left behind. The owner should allow a few hours to pass before returning the accessory to its designated storage space.

Speaking of which, proper storage is very important in prolonging the natural lifespan of these accessories. Women who have several pieces of them should invest in organizers large enough to accommodate all of their prized possessions. The presence of several compartments helps keep each and every piece from rubbing against and getting entangled with one another. Stashing them in their individual pouches out of cotton, velvet or any other soft fabric or material will also do.

When not being used, rhinestone jewelry pieces should be placed away from direct sunlight and appliances that emit heat. They should be stored in cool, dry areas. In case the metal parts are silver plated, placing these items in airtight containers helps delay the tarnishing of the surface. Women should remember to put on their perfume, hairspray, lotion and other cosmetics before wearing these accessories. Harsh chemicals in those products may only leave the rhinestones less sparkly.
