Your costume jewelry, any jewelry, is precious to you and you want to keep it looking its best. Buying super trendy and cute pieces of costume jewelry is fun, but they can be a little tricky to take care of. They are fairly affordable so they most likely are not going last for centuries and be super sturdy, but still, you want them to look good while they're still in fashion! To keep your costume jewelry looking its best for as long as possible, here are few tips for caring for your costume jewelry.  For some eye-popping fashion jewelry, Fashon Passion is just a click away. http://www.fashionpassionboutique.com

The first tip is the most obvious - keep it clean. No matter if it’s a necklace, bracelet, ring, or earrings, if they are exposed to lotion, perfume, oil, water or harsh chemicals, the lifetime of the piece is diminished. You should always take off your jewelry before you apply lotion or perfume or expose it to any water.  If you already own fine jewelry cleaner, you can likely use the same cleaner on your costume jewelry pieces; just be sure to read the ingredients. You’ll want to avoid any cleaners that contain acid, alcohol, vinegar or ammonia as they can damage your jewelry. If your jewelry is silver, you can always use a silver polishing cloth to clean and remove tarnish. Clean your jewelry after each wear. It might seem like a hassle after a long day, but it can make a huge difference in the way it looks and how long it lasts. It’s possible that you got soap, lotion, oil from your skin or some type of chemical on your jewelry while you wore it, so don’t put it away before you get the chance to clean it.  Also, make sure your jewelry is completely dry before you put it away.

Tip number 2 reminds you to give your costume jewelry pieces a break on occasion. Most fashion jewelry isn’t meant to be worn on a daily basis. If you do wear them a lot, you could notice some discoloration. Your jewelry will also look better and last longer if you wear it only on occasion. Also, take it off at the end of the day. Think of it like makeup, you never want to go to sleep with it on. Sleeping with your jewelry on is a sure way to damage it or even break it. In addition to damaging your piece, sleeping with your jewelry on can also scratch or discolor your skin.

Tip number 3 is about storage for your jewelry. Do you keep it in a jewelry box or perhaps you have a drawer full of accessories? The best way to prevent tarnishing, chipping, tangling and damage is by storing your fashion jewelry in a soft pouch, even better than a jewelry box. Storing the pieces individually in a bag is the best way to prevent damage.

Tip 4 concerns coating your costume jewelry. Most jewelry care experts will warn against coating your pieces in any kind of protectant or finish as it can end up taking off or changing the finish of your jewelry. Some people like to use clear nail polish on certain pieces of fashion jewelry to prevent their skin from turning green, also. The experts say that this is usually due to a chemical reaction. Keeping your jewelry clean and dry should help, but if you want a fast fix, you can always try clear polish
