Keeping Your Handmade Swarovski Bracelets Sparkling For A Long Time

By Dominique Martin


Swarovski crystals are undeniably dazzling and top of the line. Owning handmade Swarovski bracelets easily reveals that you have a great fashion sense and you take accessorizing seriously. With them, ensembles can look more complete and interesting no matter your mood or the occasion.

You have to take note that these prized possessions of yours will remain stunning only if you treat them with much love and care. The crystals primarily responsible for the unmistakable allure of these wrist ornaments are susceptible to scratches and chips. The plated metal parts are prone to ending up damaged especially when they unnecessarily come into contact with water and oxygen, as well as ammonia, chlorine and other strong chemicals.

When they're not worn, place these dazzling personal ornaments of yours in the containers they came in when you obtained them. Fret not in case you no longer have them. That's because you may place each and every bracelet in its own pouch out of soft fabric such as cotton or velvet. Especially if you like to collect lots of these accessories, it's recommendable to get a quality organizer.

After wearing them and before putting them back in their respective containers, have them cleaned. This removes oils, dirt and other impurities that can ruin the metal parts and especially the crystals if they remain on the surfaces for a very long time. Use a soft and lint-free cloth for this job. Place baby wipes in your bag for an easy cleaning solution while you are wearing these accessories.

There are times when your prized possessions will be marred by stubborn dirt and grime. Worry not because the problem can be solved with the help of a soft-bristled toothbrush dipped in a mixture of warm water and mild dish washing solution. Do not use commercial cleaners or sonic cleaners on any of your sparkling accessories for the wrist to avoid damaging the plated parts.

Put on your sparkling bracelets only after you are done with your application of daily cosmetic products. Hairsprays, perfumes, body lotion, makeup and deodorants tend to have chemicals that are harsh enough to damage plated metals. Some of them may leave those shiny crystals dull and discolored. Without their attention-grabbing sparkle, they won't make you look and feel beautiful.

Put your Swarovski jewelries for the wrist after dressing up and take them off before you undress. This simple practice helps save those crystals from ending up scratched by metal components like zippers and buttons. Despite of their stunning beauty, these decorative elements are still out of glass. You should save them from banging against hard surfaces when you are wearing them in particular.

Refrain from leaving these sparkling items under direct sunlight or right next to appliances that give off heat. Make it a habit to remove them before you wash your hands, clean the house, exercise, take a shower or dive in the swimming pool. As much as you can, do not expose these dazzling items from anything that can rob them of their brilliance and considerably shorten their lifespan.
