Saving Your Vintage Rhinestone Bracelets From Losing Their Dazzling Appeal

By Elsa Noel


The point of putting on fashion accessories is to make your clothes appear more interesting and bring the spotlight to your personality, not keep you from shining. That is why it's a good idea to properly care for and store your collection of vintage rhinestone bracelets. You don't have to go through a lot of trouble just to ensure that your dazzling jewelries are always looking fabulous.

Your goal is to ensure that those rhinestones are always sparkling. It is also important to keep the metal parts gleaming. There is no use in putting a bracelet around your wrist if it's not as eye-catching as it should be. Especially because the personal ornament is worn just above your hand which you use for a lot of things, the accessory should always stay looking fabulous.

Correct storage is vital to prevent these lovely items from ending up damaged most especially when you are not wearing them. Style conscious women like you should purchase an excellent jewelry organizer. The right one to invest in is something that features several compartments. Every section has to be lined with a soft material such as felt to save any item from scratches.

Make it a habit to keep the box a fashion accessory originally comes in as you may choose to stash every item in its own packaging. Especially if you are considering selling your collection some time in the future, it is a good idea to place them inside their own boxes for added market value. Placing them in individual pouches when traveling can keep them from harm.

Water is one of the few enemies of fashion accessories boasting of sparkling rhinestones as the foil backing can get damaged. If not for this vital part, rhinestones won't be able to fully mimic the appeal of diamonds and other precious stones. That is why you should refrain from soaking a bracelet in water or stash the item in a place where there is plenty of moisture present in the air.

Time will come when the rhinestones have to be cleaned in order to bring back the gleam of these lovely decorative elements. Carrying out such task is best done with the help of a soft cloth dampened a little with the glass cleaner of your choice. Refrain from resorting to the use of harsh jewelry cleaners. As stated above, you should not immerse the item in water to get it cleaned.

As for the remaining metal parts, using polishing cloth is usually enough to make them gleaming once again. This cheap cleaning aid is highly safe and effective, and you can easily get them at department stores, boutiques and even on the internet. Stubborn dirt and grime can be removed with a damp toothbrush with soft bristles. Remember to fully dry the vintage jewelry before storing.

Save those gleaming rhinestones from being marred by abrasive chemicals. Put them on only after you are done applying lotion, perfume, hairspray and other cosmetic products. When the day is over, always remove these sparkling fashion accessories first. Doing so saves them from bumping against zippers, metal buttons and others that can leave your bracelets scratched.
