How To Keep Your Rhinestone Chokers Sparkling All The Time

By Eliza Mendoza


Rhinestone chokers are some of the most important accessories out there. Whether they are worn to make formal attires look more appealing or create added drama when paired with costumes, they can make women complete standouts. No matter where those who are wearing them go, it's for certain that these items will sparkle and cause a lot of heads to turn.

Just because your prized possessions are sparkling now doesn't mean they will still do so tomorrow. Rhinestones and the metal parts of accessories can collect dirt and grime. What's more, those ornaments that look like precious gems may end up loose. If you don't treat these items in the right way, you may not fully make the most out of your investments.

Several chokers should be kept from coming into contact with one another. Unnecessary bumping and rubbing against hard or sharp objects could cause those rhinestones to get scratched. If there are dangling parts, they can easily get entangled too. It's a good idea for women to invest in jewelry organizers featuring several compartments that are lined with a soft material. When multiple pieces have to be taken by women with them during their travels, each choker should be placed in its own pouch.

It is recommendable to wipe the rhinestones and the rest of the parts with a soft lint-free cloth after every wearing. Women should not wait before their dazzling accessories are covered with lots of dirt and grime before they spring into action. Before used ones are taken back to their respective storage, their owners have to make sure that they are clean and sparkling.

There are times when wiping with a soft cloth won't do the trick. When this issue is encountered, never attempt to soak the item in a jewelry cleaning solution that you can easily purchase on the market. Necklaces with rhinestones are not like the ones used on a regular basis. It's for this reason why they require an entirely different way to be cleaned and polished.

Adding a small amount of alcohol or glass cleaner on the lint-free cloth helps in quickly restoring the sparkle of rhinestones. Women should not use a soaking wet the cloth as any type of liquid could ruin the foil lining behind each rhinestone. To ensure that no rubbing alcohol or glass cleaner lingers, the item should be placed face down on a paper towel for hours.

A toothbrush made for babies may be used to remove dirt on the metal parts. The soft bristles won't cause the rhinestones to end up scratched. Some of these accessories are silver plated and are susceptible to tarnishing. Whenever their owners notice that the surface is starting to look dull, they may use an anti-tarnish polishing cloth to restore the shine.

Make it a habit to wear rhinestone chokers only after you have applied your hairspray, lotion, deodorant, perfume and others. Some of the chemicals in these cosmetics may leave your accessories shining less and even damaged. Remember to remove them first to save them from rubbing against zippers, buttons and other hard or metal parts of your clothes.
