How To Keep Vintage Rhinestone Bracelets From Losing Their Beauty

By Elsa Noel


Accessorizing makes your clothes look more interesting. It also helps bring attention to your unique style and personality. It is certainly a great idea to maintain the unmistakable beauty of your vintage rhinestone bracelets so that you can shine whenever you are wearing them. Fortunately for you, keeping them sparkling should not take up much of your precious time and energy.

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.

A polishing cloth may be used to buff the metal parts. Opting for this cheap and readily available cleaning solution is perhaps the fastest and safest way for you to bring back the lost appeal of your fashion accessories. When stubborn stain is present, you may use a soft toothbrush dampened with water. Make sure that you completely dry the item just before you stash it in the organizer.

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.
