Costume Jewellery Care

Costume jewellery is often handmade with precious metals or with crystals and pearls set by hand, it’s imperative to treat it with the same level of care you would give to the finest of golds to prevent tarnishing or dulling.
However this doesn't mean it takes time and effort to keep your jewels looking their best.
Follow the below easy steps and keep your costume jewellery looking tip top for longer.

- Water is known to affect the appearance of metal, stones crystals and pearls, it can wear plating and cause discolouration. Never shower or swim when wearing costume jewellery and always remove rings when washing your hands.

-Costume jewellery should be stored in it's own individual box or bag to avoid getting scratched or dented by other jewellery.

It should be kept away from direct sunlight, moisture and dust, a good cheap and easy way to store your jewels is to use a seal-able sandwich bag and pop in a silica gel pouch, this will draw out any moisture in the bag and create a barrier between your jewellery and dust.

Luckily enough, The Attic Accessories jewellery comes in its own draw string organza gift bag.

- If your costume jewellery has crystals, simply wipe these with smooth cloth every so often.

- Perfume and body lotion can dull the plating on your costume jewellery and take away the sparkle of your crystals, so be sure to spray your perfume and put on your lotions before you put on your jewellery, make sure your skin is dry to the touch.

Follow these easy steps and your jewellery will be shining as bright as the day you bought it.
