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

By Stacey Burt


To enjoy your personal ornament with crystals for a really long time, you should give it the kind of caring it deserves. Any handmade Swarovski necklace is susceptible to ending up damaged because it is made using traditional methods. Simply by storing it properly and safeguarding it from harm, your beautiful investment can be of service to you for so many years.

A very important thing to bear in mind is your beautiful personal ornament should be put around your neck after you are through with the application of cosmetic products. The harsh ingredients of perfumes, colognes, deodorants, hairspray and lotion can ruin both the metal plating and the sheen of the crystals. It is safe to wear your lovely necklaces as soon as you are done applying some essentials.

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.

Refrain from throwing away the padded boxes of Swarovski personal ornaments each time you shop for one. The necklace you own can be kept away from harm much better if it's placed in its original packaging when not being used. Placing it in a velvet pouch or any other pouch out of soft fabric helps protect your beautiful fashion accessory from being scratched or damaged when you're traveling.

Refrain from leaving the personal ornament under the sun or right next to an appliance that gives off heat. Place it in a cool and dry area especially if it comes with silver parts. Because silver is prone to tarnishing due to moisture, it's a good idea to keep the necklace in an airtight container. If you don't own such, simply add anti-tarnish paper into the jewelry box to slow down the tarnishing process.

Your prized personal ornament is at its best if it's sparkling. Refrain from polishing the crystals and metal parts with jewelry or window cleaner. More often than not, the job can be completed with the help of a soft cotton cloth. A microfiber cloth also does a marvelous job. Baby wipes may be used in case your fashion accessory is marred by dirt and grime that you find hard to remove.

It is a good idea to polish your prized possession whenever you have the time. Don't forget to wipe off the crystals right after wearing the necklace and before you stash it in the jewelry box. Try to do your best to keep the eye-catching sparkle intact. This can be done simply by removing your necklace before you swim, take a bath, clean the house, engage in sports or workout at the gym.

Although it's true that Swarovski crystals are made of top-notch glass, they should not be assumed as indestructible. Hard contact against surfaces may cause them to chip, break or shatter. Giving your treasured item the kind of love and care it requires will let you enjoy it for a very long time, enabling you to appear dazzling and stylish whenever it is placed around the neck.
