FASHION JEWELRY, HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THEM

Buying fashion jewelry is an excellent investment, especially for girls who always want to add more pieces to their accessory collection and those who cannot afford fine jewelry.

Costume jewelry can last longer than what we think, as long as they are well looked after to prevent deterioration and to keep them looking like new. This kind of jewelry is made of cheap materials and therefore, lasts less than fine jewelry. That is why you must always take care of them. Below, we will show you how.

Aspirin

Aspirin dissolved in water is a perfect treatment for some fashion jewelry, especially those that tend to become green or orange, like those made of metal. This method must be avoided for pearls or wooden jewelry.

After mixing two ounces of water with effervescent aspirin, take a cloth and dip it in the mixture. Then rub it on the accessories to clean them and eliminate dirt or other residues that make your pieces lose their brightness. After cleaning them, dry them with a towel.

Fixing spray and nail polish

This solution is ideal for those who don’t want their pieces to lose their brightness and color. The spray method is very simple and can be done by putting the jewels on a towel or a piece of cloth and spraying them with fixing spray. Using nail polish in the same way has the same effect. None of these treatments require washing afterwards.

These two methods must be done as soon as you buy your piece.

Liquid soap

To eliminate dirt from your piece of jewelry, just use soap in a mixture of three parts of lukewarm water for one part of liquid soap. With an old toothbrush or a cotton swab, take some of this mixture and softly spread it over the piece of jewelry. Just be careful not to let any stones or beads detach from the piece.

After finishing the previous step, the piece of jewelry must be cleaned with water and the help of a brush. Finally, it must be dried with a hairdryer on the cold setting or a towel. This kind of cleaning is perfect for resistant fashion jewelry rings with big stones or necklaces with pendants.

Although fashion jewelry is not expensive, many times they have an emotional value or maybe you just happen to find a nice design that makes them special, which is why it is worth the effort to spend some time taking care of them regularly and extend their useful life.
