Rhinestone Jewelry Care Guide

Do not just jumble your jewelry together in a jewelry box. The pieces will rub against one another causing scratches in the metal, scratches in the rhinestones, and even causing the stones to drop out. It is best to store your jewelry in the box in which it came. If storing a pin and earring set in the same box, then fasten the pin and earrings to the cotton insert to eliminate the possibility of them rubbing together.

Never expose your jewelry to high humid environment! or the metal part of your rhinestone jewelry will become dull and yellowish or worst scenario is- it will turn rusty !

If you want to keep your rhinestone jewelry in wooden materials like drawers, waredrob etc ,take note of materials like Oak, it has certain chemicals that react adversely with the metals in costume jewelry.

Always put on your rhinestone jewelry mins before leaving the house. Never have your jewelry on while applying cosmetics, perfume, and hair spray etc, Never wear your jewelry against skin with perfume or perfumed lotions. The metal will react to the chemicals causing it to tarnish. Always clean your rhinestone jewelry after every use.
