*Unlike fine jewellery that's made with materials like gold, platinum, diamonds and gemstones that can cost a fortune, fashion jewelry is crafted with more common components like plated metals and semi-precious stones making it more affordable and guilt-free.
These materials are used as alternatives to create a similar look and style to fine jewellery without the high cost of real gold and diamonds. Your fashion jewellery won't last forever, but you can minimize signs of wear and extend their longevity by properly caring for them and choosing well crafted pieces.
All fashion jewellery is capable of tarnishing - and some faster than others. Over time, your jewellery comes in contact with moisture, acids, oils and air. They react with the metal in the jewellery, causing it to eventually wear down and tarnish.
Here are ways on how to keep costume jewellery from tarnishing.
1. KEEP IT DRY
The fastest way to tarnish your jewellery is by contact with moisture and liquids. This includes putting on lotions, washing your hands, a spritz of perfume, and sweating with your jewels on. Even the oils on your skin can wear down the plating and metals over time - and this will again vary from person to person. If you get your jewellery wet by accident, wipe and dry them off right away!
2. STORE IT PROPERLY
Exposure to the simplest things like the moisture in the air can wear down your jewellery , it's important to store them properly. All of our jewellery comes with a cotton bag. Keeping them stored in a dry and protected environment will make them last longer.
3. TRY A JEWELLERY PROTECTIVE SPRAY
Give your jewellery a protective shield to fight the elements that contribute to tarnishing. Search for an anti tarnish metals spray to keep them newer for longer and to shield against irritation.
4. GIVE IT A BREAK
If you wear your fashion jewellery every day it will tarnish sooner.
Treat your jewellery with love and care, and they'll keep sparkling for you for a long time!
