Tips On Keeping Your Vintage Rhinestone Bracelets Sparkling

By Elsa Noel


Fashion accessories are worn to enhance your garments and to let your personality shine, and not prevent you from being a standout. It's exactly for this reason why you should really take good care of your beautiful vintage rhinestone bracelets. Fortunately, there is no need for you to go to great lengths just to maintain the dazzling appeal of your treasured collection.

Your goal is to ensure that those rhinestones are always sparkling. It is also important to keep the metal parts gleaming. There is no use in putting a bracelet around your wrist if it's not as eye-catching as it should be. Especially because the personal ornament is worn just above your hand which you use for a lot of things, the accessory should always stay looking fabulous.

Proper storage is essential to shield these beautiful items from harm most especially when they are not being used. Women who are style conscious just like you are encouraged to invest in good quality jewelry boxes. The best one to get is something that comes with many compartments, each lined with felt or any other soft material to save the bracelets from getting scratched or tangled.

Make it a habit to keep the box a fashion accessory originally comes in as you may choose to stash every item in its own packaging. Especially if you are considering selling your collection some time in the future, it is a good idea to place them inside their own boxes for added market value. Placing them in individual pouches when traveling can keep them from harm.

There are a few things that can be regarded as enemies of your vintage fashion accessories. Water is one of them as it can damage the foil. Without this part at the back, rhinestones won't look as dazzling as diamonds and other gems. It's due to this reason why you should not dunk a bracelet in water or leave it in a spot where there's a lot of water vapor present in the air.

Eventually, you will have to clean the individual rhinestones to ensure that they are just as dazzling as the day that you bought the bracelet. The best way to do this is to polish the pieces with a soft cloth dampened a little with glass cleaner. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any of your jewelries. As earlier said, it is not really a good idea to soak the item in water to bring back its beauty.

When it comes to the metal parts, it is recommendable to use a polishing cloth on them each time. Cheap and easily available online and offline, using this product is the quickest and safest way to restore the lost beauty of a bracelet. You may use a damp soft-bristled toothbrush to remove stubborn impurities on the surface. Just see to it that you completely dry the item right away.

Save those gleaming rhinestones from being marred by abrasive chemicals. Put them on only after you are done applying lotion, perfume, hairspray and other cosmetic products. When the day is over, always remove these sparkling fashion accessories first. Doing so saves them from bumping against zippers, metal buttons and others that can leave your bracelets scratched.
