How To Keep Your Handmade Swarovski Necklace Dazzling And Beautiful For Years

By Stacey Burt


Fashion accessories consisting of crystals need a lot of love and care to make them remain eye-catching and highly wearable for many years. The handmade Swarovski necklace that you proudly own is very delicate because it is made using traditional jewelry-making techniques. By protecting it from harm and keeping the crystals sparkling, the item can make you look and feel beautiful constantly.

One of the most important things to remember is your valued possession should be worn only after you are through applying your daily cosmetic essentials. Harsh chemicals in the likes of perfumes, body lotions and hair spray can damage the metal plating and steal the shine of the individual crystals. Once you are done applying your favorite products, feel free to wear your sparkling necklace.

You should also put it only after you have worn your clothes. This is done to save the lustrous surface of the individual crystals from bumping or scratching against zippers, buttons, pins and other metal parts. Likewise, you should remember to remove you fashion accessory first before you begin to undress to make sure that the crystals are kept out of harm's way.

Swarovski fashion items tend to come with padded boxes. Do not throw away the container of the item you just bought because this doubles as an excellent storage space. You may also place the beautiful personal accessory in a pouch out of velvet, silk or any other soft material. Keeping it in a pouch is recommended especially if you wish to take the personal ornament with you during your travels.

Keep the item away from direct sunlight as well as appliances that generate a lot of heat. Also, remember to store it in a cool and dry place most especially if the item consists of silver that is prone to tarnishing. A fashion accessory with silver components is best kept in an airtight container. You may also simply throw in a piece of anti-tarnish paper inside your chosen storage space to delay tarnishing.

The personal ornament can be a complete head-turner if it's gleaming. Don't get too excited and attempt to clean the crystals with glass cleaner or jewelry polishing solution. What you should do instead is grab a piece of cotton or microfiber cloth to bring back the lost gleam of the crystals. When facing stubborn dirt and grime, you may use baby wipes on the surface to eliminate the problem.

It's good practice to habitually polish your necklace from time to time, such as before putting it back in its storage after you have worn it. There are also certain things that you may do to ensure that the crystals are constantly gleaming. For instance, you should always remove the personal ornament before swimming, sunbathing, taking a shower, engaging in sports activities, gardening or cleaning the house.

Even though Swarovski crystals are out of high quality glass, they are not invincible. Always protect your beautiful fashion accessory from hard contact to prevent the crystals from breaking or chipping. By treating your prized possession properly, you can rest assured that it's going to be of service to you for so many years, making you look elegant and radiant each time you put it around your neck.
