Making Your Crystal Beaded Jewelry Pieces Shine For Years

By Essie Osborn


You can count on crystals to make you a head-turner no matter the occasion or attire. Fashion accessories with these glittery adornments should be treated with much care so that they can do their job of making you literally shine. Fortunately for you, it's actually very easy to keep your precious crystal beaded jewelry items stay looking pretty and sparkling for years.

Especially if you have already amassed several pieces of these personal ornaments, it's recommendable for you to purchase an organizer with multiple partitions. Keeping your items in their separate storage spaces saves their gleaming facets from ending up scratched or chipped. Try to go for an organizer whose partitions are lined with felt or any other soft material.

In case you feel that it's not yet time to get a good quality organizer as you don't have too many fashion accessories, simply keep them in the boxes that they were in when you bought them. You may also stash them in their own pouches out of soft fabric like cotton or velvet. Especially if they have silver parts, storing them in resealable plastic bags help delay tarnishing.

Refrain from leaving these dazzling items under direct sunlight or right next to appliances that generate heat. It's in a dry and cool area in your room where you should always keep them. Excess moisture in the air can have a negative impact on the metal parts, especially silver. For added protection, try placing a few silica gel bags where you store your jewelry pieces.

Remember to apply your daily cosmetics first before putting on your fashion accessories adorned with crystals. They can easily end up dull when they are touched by those harsh chemicals in perfume, lotion, deodorant, hairspray and others. Following this very simple rule as you are getting ready for the office or a date can help prolong the life of your accessories.

Certainly, you should not sleep wearing these shimmering fashion accessories. You personal ornaments should be placed in the organizer before you start cleaning your home in order to spare them from the harsh ingredients of many household cleaners. Remember to remove these items before you hit the shower or take a bath, or jump into the ocean or swimming pool.

Wipe them off with a piece of soft dry cloth after wearing them and just before you put them back in the organizer. Doing so will remove dirt and oils that they picked up throughout the day. It's not a good idea to use window cleaner, rubbing alcohol or any other strong chemical as the crystals may only end up ruined rather than sparkling beautifully.

If you feel that a simple wiping won't be enough because there are lots of grease or stains on the surface, it's a good idea to use baby wipes on them. If they are perfectly fine to be used on the sensitive skin of babies, it's for sure that they are suited for cleaning your prized possessions. Wipe your accessories with tissue paper afterwards to remove the remaining solution.
