How To Keep Stylish Rhinestone Chokers From Losing Their Sparkle

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.

While there is no denying how fabulous these accessories are, they can quickly lose their radiance. Rhinestones as well as the metal parts are susceptible to collecting layers of grime. Also, those gem-like ornaments are at risk of loosening and falling out eventually. If women are not careful, they may enjoy their beautiful necklaces only for a short period of time.

Keep your chokers from getting into contact with each other. Hard and sharp objects can easily leave rhinestones scratched permanently. Further, keeping multiple pieces together in a single storage space may cause the dangling parts to get tangled up. It's recommendable for you to purchase a jewelry organizer with numerous compartments, each one lined with a soft material like felt. Placing each piece in its own soft pouch is a good idea when you need to take them on the go.

After wearing any of your collection, wipe the surface with a soft and lint-free cloth. Don't wait until you notice that your beautiful accessories are completely covered in dirt and oils before you take the necessary action. Make it a habit to ensure that your chokers are sparkling and free of anything that isn't supposed to be there before placing them in their storage.

Time will come when a simple wiping with a soft cloth won't be able to bring back the eye-catching radiance of rhinestones. When this happens, women should remember not to dunk them in commercial jewelry cleaners. Because these accessories are not like the ones used on a regular basis, they require a different kind of cleaning to keep them from ending up ruined.

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.

Rhinestone chokers should be put in place only when women are through wearing their clothes and applying their cosmetics. The harsh ingredients in perfumes, deodorants, hairspray and others can cause these accessories to shine less. On the other hand, they should be removed first to save them from coming into contact with zippers, buttons and other metal parts of clothes.
