Saving Elegant Rhinestone Chokers From Looking Dull And Being Damaged

By Eliza Mendoza


There are numerous accessories you need from time to time and some of them are rhinestone chokers. These items can make you a complete standout no matter if paired with formal attires to make them look more complete or costumes to add more excitement to them. No matter where you go, these accessories can make you the center of everyone's attention.

Just because your prized possessions are sparkling now doesn't mean they will still do so tomorrow. Rhinestones and the metal parts of accessories can collect dirt and grime. What's more, those ornaments that look like precious gems may end up loose. If you don't treat these items in the right way, you may not fully make the most out of your investments.

Several pieces of chokers should be prevented from rubbing against each other. Unnecessary contact with hard objects can leave the rhinestones scratched. Dangling parts may easily end up tangled if numerous accessories are stashed together. Women should purchase jewelry organizers with multiple compartments, each one lined with felt or any other soft material. When traveling and different pieces have to be taken along, their owners should place them in individual pouches out of cloth like cotton or velvet.

It's a good idea to clean the rhinestones as well as the metal sections with a lint-free cloth after they are used. Women should not do this only when the time comes that they realize their accessories are covered in dust and oils. After wearing, it's good practice for these accessories to be cleaned and polished before being placed back to their proper storage areas.

There are times when wiping with a soft cloth won't do the trick. When this issue is encountered, never attempt to soak the item in a jewelry cleaning solution that you can easily purchase on the market. Necklaces with rhinestones are not like the ones used on a regular basis. It's for this reason why they require an entirely different way to be cleaned and polished.

Putting a little amount of rubbing alcohol or window cleaner on the cloth may be done to help bring back the lost sparkle of those rhinestones. Using a soaking wet cloth is a terrible idea as liquid can ruin the foil backing of rhinestones. To ensure that no rubbing alcohol or window cleaner remains, the choker may be placed face down on a kitchen towel for hours.

When it comes to removing dust on the metal areas, use a toothbrush for babies. Thanks to the soft bristles, you can prevent scratching those rhinestones. You will notice that silver plated necklaces tarnish easily. When the time comes that you wish to bring back their luster, simply use an anti-tarnish polishing cloth on them.

Make it a habit to wear rhinestone chokers only after you have applied your hairspray, lotion, deodorant, perfume and others. Some of the chemicals in these cosmetics may leave your accessories shining less and even damaged. Remember to remove them first to save them from rubbing against zippers, buttons and other hard or metal parts of your clothes.
