Jewelery Care Tips
- Keep your jewellery away from the following as much as possible:
- Water, lotion, perfume, or other harsh chemicals
- NEVER wear jewellery in the pool or ocean
- When NOT wearing, keep in a jewellery box or pouch.
- Do not use soap/water or jewellery cleaner to clean your costume jewellery. I recommend that you use Windex® or equivalent. Just spray & rinse under the sink with water & wipe away any excess until dry.
- ESPECIALLY NEVER USE SILVER JEWELRY CLEANER – it has a mild acid and will ruin your fashion jewellery and strip the finish in seconds!
- Fashion Jewellery is best worn for occasions – If you are the “I never take it off & wear it everyday” type of person – your jewellery will not last as long as someone who wears their jewellery every now & again. I often relate jewellery to clothes. Someone who wears the same shirt everyday cannot expect it to last as long as someone who only wears the item once a week.
- In time, if your jewellery has lost its lustre – don’t despair – consider recycling it by using the beads, charms or chains for a variety of craft projects. Beads can be reused to make earrings, link chains can be cut and used as necklace extenders, charms can be use in scrap booking projects or as pet tags or hot glued to accent just about anything!
