Caring for Your Fashion Jewelry 101
What is fashion jewelry?
Fashion jewelry is any kind of jewelry that is made with base metals (mixed metals), plated metals or brass, aluminum, plastic, etc. By using these types of materials it allows us to keep our quanities up and our prices afforable for you as a shopper!
Fashion jewelry can stay just as beautiful as fine jewelry if you treat it properly! Here are the easiest ways to care for your fashion pieces:
- Store your jewelry in air-tight containers or plastic bags when you are not using them! Keeping your jewelry somewhere that humidity cannot affect the quaility of your pieces will greatly increase the shelf-life of your jewelry.
- Keep your jewelry from being completely submerged in chlorinated water and away from dish and laundry detergents! The chemicals in these products could affect the color of the metals in your jewelry.
- Finally, do not use fine jewelry cleaners on your fashion jewelry! These cleaners are made specifically for pure, high grade metals.
