Different rhinestone jewelry pieces help make women dazzle each time they have to be glamorous, such as when going to formal events of stepping foot on a stage. It's a must to maintain the appeal of these accessories so that they may fulfill their duties to their owners. Taking good care of these items allows them to be enjoyed by women for a long time.

Do take note that these accessories are different from the ones that you use on a regular basis. Naturally, it follows that their maintenance needs are unique. If you mistakenly opt for improper caring procedures, it's not unlikely for your prized possessions to end up ruined, most especially those sparkling rhinestones.

Moisture is the primary enemies of these types of accessories. Majority of the rhinestones available these days come with foil backings responsible for their beauty. Without those essential parts, these accessories may no longer be able to make a lot of heads turn. It goes without saying that using jewelry cleaning solutions available on the market is a terrible idea.

For cleaning them on a regular basis, it's usually enough to have the surface of rhinestones wiped with a lint-free cloth. Doing this procedure as necessary helps prevents the piling up of dirt and grime, something that's harder to remove after a while. To remove dust and other unwanted particles on the metal parts, a soft-bristled toothbrush can help to the trick.

At times, a simple wiping with a soft cloth may not give you the result you want. Placing a few drops of rubbing alcohol on the cloth will help bring back the lost shine of those rhinestones. It breaks down stubborn oil and stains that keep those gem-like decorations from sparkling. Other than rubbing alcohol, you may also try using glass cleaner.

As earlier mentioned, moisture can easily damage the foil backing of today's rhinestones. It's a good idea to place the accessory face down on a piece of paper towel after cleaning. This helps make sure that no excess rubbing alcohol or glass cleaner stays around. After a few hours, it can be considered safe to put the clean accessory back to its storage space.

When not being used, it's a must for these accessories to be stored in the right way for their longevity. Women who have multiple pieces should opt for organizers spacious enough to accommodate all of their treasured possessions. Those with numerous compartments help prevent various pieces from rubbing against each other as well as save them from getting entangled. Their owners may also store them in their own pouches out of cotton, velvet or any soft cloth.

Ensure that you do not leave your rhinestone jewelry pieces under direct sunlight or next to an oven, radiator or other heat sources. It's in a cool and dry area where you should place them. Items with silver plating are prone to tarnishing so it's best to store them in airtight containers. Remember to put on your accessories only after you have applied cosmetics like hairspray, perfume, deodorant, lotion and others as some of the chemicals in them may rob those rhinestones of their sparkle.
