Jewelettes, we have some great tips on making your costume jewelry last and looking new. Wearing your costume pieces everyday may make them tarnish faster.
1. Put costume jewelry pieces on last. Avoid applying lotion, perfume or other applied products to the area where you will be wearing your piece. Spray perfume around it and not directly on the skin near it because the metal will absorb it and accelerate tarnishing.
2. You can paint your items with clear nail polish to add a little barrier of protection especially to the side that rests on your skin. You can also use it if there is ever peeling paint on an item.
3. To clean your jewelry, make sure not to use any solutions intended for precious metals and stones.
4. To clean rhinestones, you can take cloth or a soft toothbrush barely damp with diluted white vinegar.
5. Store your costume jewelry pieces in a cool, dry place such as a jewelry box, plastic zip bags, or a soft lined dust cover/bag.
