Making Crystal Beaded Jewelry Sparkle For A Very Long Time

By Jerri Perry


Various crystal beaded jewelry pieces look best when they are shiny. In such condition, they can make any woman a standout no matter the attire or occasion. Properly taking good care of these accessories is important.

Usually, they come in their own pouches or boxes when purchased. Don't throw them away especially if you don't have an organizer because they may be used as your accessories' permanent storage spaces. In case you feel that having several of them in your bedroom adds clutter, it's a good idea to avail of a jewelry organizer that can accommodate your collection. Opt for something with multiple compartments, each one lined with a soft material to prevent scratches.

Whether stored in an organizer or in separate containers, these fashion accessories should not be placed near anything that generates heat. Even though crystals look fantastic when hit by light, leaving them under the sweltering sun for hours is a bad idea. Make your prized possession last for years by storing them in a place where it is cool and dry.

Dust, grime and anything else on the surface of crystals can keep them from sparkling. Luckily, wiping them off with a soft and lint-free cloth is enough to bring back the beauty of your accessories. The best time to carry out this procedure is before storing them right after using. Use an anti-tarnish polishing cloth to maintain the gleam of silver parts.

Delaying the tarnishing process of the silver parts is made possible by placing fashion accessories in resealable plastic bags or other airtight containers. Throwing in an anti-tarnish paper or a pack of silica gel may also be done to save them from ending up dull. Women are discouraged from dunking these items in commercial silver cleaning solutions. It's more recommendable to have them dipped in water with mild detergent and gently scrubbed with a toothbrush designed for babies to effectively remove grime. Drying them up immediately and thoroughly is a must before their owners put them in their organizers.

Women should always remember to put on these dazzling fashion accessories after they have applied body lotion, perfume, makeup, hairspray and other cosmetics. Some of the ingredients in these products may rob crystals of their shine when they get into contact with them and dry up. It's also possible for harsh ones to damage the plating on the metal parts.

It's recommendable for women to dress up first before wearing their accessories. Otherwise, the crystals may only end up permanently scratched by some of the metal parts of clothes like buttons and zippers. When they get back home, doing the complete opposite has to be done. These sparkling items should be removed first, followed by the clothes.

Refrain from wearing crystal beaded jewelry items during circumstances that put them at risk of being ruined. There is no use being adorned with them when exercising, gardening or home cleaning. Remove anything before you hit the shower. Always take off these fashion accessories before you jump in the swimming pool or dip in the ocean.
