How to Keep Fashion Jewelry from Tarnishing

Hey there, sparkle-loving friends! Let’s talk about a common woe we face with our favorite fashion pieces, tarnishing.  There is nothing worse than seeing your beloved jewelry lose its sparkle. But fret not! I’ve got some tried-and-true tips to help you keep your fashion accessories looking shiny and new for longer.

1 – Store it Properly
Proper storage is key to preventing tarnishing. Store your trendy jewelry in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Consider using a jewelry box or a soft pouch to keep your pieces protected and prevent them from rubbing against each other.

2 -Keep it Dry
One of the best ways to prevent tarnishing is to keep your costume jewelry dry. Moisture can speed up the tarnishing process, so be sure to remove your jewelry before swimming, showering, or exercising. And if your jewelry does get wet, be sure to dry it thoroughly before storing it away.

3 – Avoid Contact with Chemicals
Chemicals like perfume, lotion, and hairspray can cause your jewelry to tarnish more quickly. Be sure to apply these products before putting on your jewelry and avoid spraying directly onto your pieces. And if your jewelry does come into contact with any chemicals, be sure to clean it promptly with a soft cloth.

4 – Clean Regularly
Regular cleaning is essential to keeping your everyday jewelry looking its best. You can clean most pieces with a soft cloth or a mild jewelry cleaner. Be sure to avoid hard chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage your jewelry. And don’t forget to dry your jewelry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent tarnishing.

5 – Wear it Often
Believe it or not, wearing your costume jewelry can actually help prevent tarnishing. The natural oils from your skin can help keep your jewelry looking shiny and new. So don’t be afraid to rock your favorite pieces on the regular!
