How To Keep Stylish Rhinestone Chokers From Losing Their Sparkle

By Eliza Mendoza


Rhinestone chokers are some of the most important accessories out there. Whether they are worn to make formal attires look more appealing or create added drama when paired with costumes, they can make women complete standouts. No matter where those who are wearing them go, it's for certain that these items will sparkle and cause a lot of heads to turn.

Just because your prized possessions are sparkling now doesn't mean they will still do so tomorrow. Rhinestones and the metal parts of accessories can collect dirt and grime. What's more, those ornaments that look like precious gems may end up loose. If you don't treat these items in the right way, you may not fully make the most out of your investments.

Several chokers should be kept from coming into contact with one another. Unnecessary bumping and rubbing against hard or sharp objects could cause those rhinestones to get scratched. If there are dangling parts, they can easily get entangled too. It's a good idea for women to invest in jewelry organizers featuring several compartments that are lined with a soft material. When multiple pieces have to be taken by women with them during their travels, each choker should be placed in its own pouch.

It is recommendable to wipe the rhinestones and the rest of the parts with a soft lint-free cloth after every wearing. Women should not wait before their dazzling accessories are covered with lots of dirt and grime before they spring into action. Before used ones are taken back to their respective storage, their owners have to make sure that they are clean and sparkling.

There are times when wiping with a soft cloth won't do the trick. When this issue is encountered, never attempt to soak the item in a jewelry cleaning solution that you can easily purchase on the market. Necklaces with rhinestones are not like the ones used on a regular basis. It's for this reason why they require an entirely different way to be cleaned and polished.

To easily break down oils that keep the rhinestones from gleaming, it's possible to add a few drops of glass cleaner or rubbing alcohol onto the cloth. Make sure that you do not soak it with the suggested agent as this can ruin the foil lining at the back of rhinestones. To remove excess glass cleaner or rubbing alcohol, get a paper towel and place the item face down on it for hours.

Using a toothbrush meant for babies on the metal sections helps remove dirt. Because the bristles are very soft, those gem-like ornaments covering the choker won't end up scratched. Accessories that are plated with silver are prone to tarnishing. When it's apparent that the sheen is gone, their owners may simply buff the surface with an anti-tarnish polishing cloth.

Rhinestone chokers should be put in place only when women are through wearing their clothes and applying their cosmetics. The harsh ingredients in perfumes, deodorants, hairspray and others can cause these accessories to shine less. On the other hand, they should be removed first to save them from coming into contact with zippers, buttons and other metal parts of clothes.
