Costume Jewelry Care Tips
(FOR OUR BRIDAL & FORMAL, EARRING, NECKLACE AND BRACELET COLLECTIONS)
1. Avoid Water and Moisture
Costume jewelry is not designed to withstand water exposure. Always remove it before showering, swimming, or washing your hands to prevent tarnishing or discoloration.
2. Keep Away from Chemicals
Protect your jewelry from perfumes, hairsprays, lotions, and cleaning products, as they can react with the base metals and cause damage.
3. Store Properly
Store your pieces in a cool, dry place, ideally in individual pouches or compartments to prevent scratches and tarnish. Avoid leaving them in humid areas like bathrooms.
4. Remove Before Physical Activities
Take off your costume jewelry before exercising, doing housework, or other activities that might expose it to sweat or impact.
5. Clean Gently
Wipe your jewelry with a soft, dry cloth after each wear to remove oils and dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap, avoiding abrasive materials.
6. Rotate Your Jewelry
Avoid wearing the same piece every day to reduce wear and tear. Rotating your collection helps extend its life.
7. Protect from Prolonged Sunlight
Direct sunlight can cause fading or discoloration of costume jewelry. Store it in a shaded area when not in use.
8. Avoid Sleeping with Jewelry On
Remove your jewelry before bedtime to prevent unnecessary stress or bending of the metal.
9. Inspect for Damage Regularly
Check for loose stones or clasps and address any repairs promptly to avoid losing parts or further damage.
10. Apply Beauty Products First
Always apply makeup, perfume, and lotion before putting on your jewelry to minimize exposure to harmful substances.
