How To Care For Fashion Jewelry

Fashion Jewelry is made of a variety of materials like glass, metal, resin, enamel, brass, copper, jute and leather to name a few. They are polished, coated or plated with different finishes like gold, silver or copper to protect them from damage. With proper use and care of your fashion jewelry pieces they can last you a lifetime.  It does not take much time to care for them. There are some general tips on how to care for them but depending upon the material of the fashion jewelry you have to take extra care to protect it.
 

Tips on how to care for fashion jewelry  

  • Always store the jewelry in a plastic reckon-able bag to protect it from humidity. This will avoid tarnish and the jewelry will last longer.
  • Avoid storing your jewelry box in extreme temperatures. Store it in a cool or warm place.
  • If the jewelry gets wet, pat dry it with a towel before storing it. Do not keep the jewelry in the reckon-able bag if it is wet.
  • Wipe the jewelry pieces with a jewelry cleaning cloth or a jewelry polishing cream.
  • Glass or Crystal jewelry pieces are very delicate and could break easily. They should be stored between layers of cotton to avoid breakage.
  • Although Enamel doesn't break or chip off, it has to be protected. If it falls on a hard floor it could chip the enamel of the jewelry piece or worse the enamel could come off. .
  • Leather jewelry will change its color shade with time and exposure to sun. It has to be oiled and conditioned with mink oil to increase its life span and keep it supple and soft. Do not expose leather to high temperatures and moisture.

Just follow the above tips and you are good to go. Your favorite Fashion Jewelry pieces will last longer and continue to enhance your outfit.
