Making Your Crystal Beaded Jewelry Items Dazzle For A Long Time

By Essie Osborn


Crystals can make your literally sparkle no matter the occasion, garment or mood. It's very important that you take good care of fashion accessories sporting these glittery ornaments so that they can make you look pretty and stylish for a very long time. Luckily, it's really not that challenging to keep your various crystal beaded jewelry pieces in an excellent condition.

Especially if you own several pieces of them, it's a good idea to buy a high quality organizer with multiple compartments. Neatly keeping your prized possessions in their separate storage areas saves them from bumping against each other, something that can lead to scratching or chipping. Look for an organizer whose compartments are lined with a soft material like felt.

Placing your treasured items in the boxes that they came in when you ordered them may be done if you feel that it's not yet time to invest in an organizer. It's also possible to buy small pouches out of cotton, suede or velvet and stash your accessories in them. When not in use, those with silver parts should be kept in air-tight resealable plastic bags to ward off tarnishing.

Remember not to leave these precious items under the scorching sun or adjacent to appliances that give off heat. Look for a dry and cool area inside your room because that's the best spot for them. Too much moisture in the air is bad for the metal parts, most especially silver ones. To keep unnecessary tarnishing at bay, stash a bag or two of silica gel in the storage area.

Make sure that you put on your chosen crystal beaded accessories for the day only after you are through applying your cosmetic products. Chemicals in hairspray, deodorant, perfume, lotion and others may leave those crystals looking dull when they come into contact with them. Keeping your fashion accessories untouched by harsh substances can help in prolonging their beauty.

Before hitting the sack, always remove your prized possessions. Leave them in their proper storage places when you are cleaning the house to save them from coming into contact with household cleaners that usually contain bleach, ammonia and other strong chemicals. Definitely, you should not wear them when taking a shower or swimming in the pool or ocean.

When it's time to bring them back to their organizer or separate resealable plastic bags, use a soft lint-free cloth to remove oils and dirt that the crystals may have picked up. Don't try to speed up this process by placing rubbing alcohol, window cleaner or any other harsh solvent on the rag as they will only make your fashion accessories look dreadful instead of sparkly.

In case you feel that a simple wiping with a dry cloth doesn't do the trick especially if there's too much dirt and grime on the crystals, use baby wipes. If they are mild enough for the delicate skin of little ones, it's for certain that they won't ruin your prized possessions. Just see to it that you remove the excess solution with a dry cloth before finally storing them.
