Taking Good Care Of Silver Crystal Jewelry Pieces To Keep Their Beauty Intact

By Chasity Sheppard


Beautiful silver crystal jewelry pieces can make you a head turner. However, they can easily lose their appeal if they are not properly maintained. The mix of metal and gemstones can make these items trickier to take care of.

The secret to make your fine investments stay with you for a long time is avoiding anything that can ruin their appearance. Especially if the ones you own come with steep price tags, you want them to be of service for a very long time. It's possible for them to be passed from one generation to the next provided that you look after these fashion accessories properly.

Storing them properly is of utmost importance. Purchase a top-notch organizer with multiple compartments to keep each piece separated. This will save them from leaving each other scratched. Get something with a soft lining, preferably one that can keep tarnishing at bay. Discolorations are easy to solve, but scratches can leave these items looking ugly for good.

When traveling and you need to take some of them with you, remember to place them inside different pouches. Go for those out of cloth like velvet. You may also use small resealable plastic bags to ward off moisture. Even a pair of earrings has to be separated, most especially the dangling kinds. Have a polishing cloth within easy reach to keep them sparkling.

Your best bet is to prevent your beautiful fashion accessories from moisture in the air. Silver most especially begins its tarnishing process as soon as it is exposed to water vapor. It's a good idea to store it in an air-tight container. Remember not to place any one of them near a heat source or in direct sunlight. They are safe from harm in a cool and dry place.

Before you wear them, make sure you are done applying your cosmetics. Remember to use your hair spray, perfume and lotion first to keep the harsh chemicals in them from touching your fashion accessories. Remove them when washing your hands with water and soap. Chlorine can cause the metal parts to end up black so don't wear any of them when swimming.

It's true that you can look and feel fabulous with them. However, wearing fashion accessories while engaging in sports or house cleaning is not a good idea. Sweat as well as strong chemicals in various household solutions can ruin your costly investments. Nothing can make them look less stunning quickly than sharp blows and rubbing against rough surfaces.

Commercially available cleaning solutions may be used when your items are deeply tarnished. However, make sure that you don't use any of them on pieces sporting soft and organic gems like pearls, malachite and turquoise. For regular cleaning, a warm water and soap solution will do the trick. Always completely dry your fashion accessories before storing them.

Take good care of your silver crystal jewelry pieces if you want to enjoy them for many years. You want them to stay looking as fantastic as the day you purchased them. Jewelers recommend having them professionally cleaned every year.
