Just like with caring for pearl jewelry, fashion does not like the acid from hairsprays and alcohol of perfumes, so put it on after your perfume and hair spray are dry. Perfume, hair spray, lotions and perspiration may affect the color of any metal, whether 14K or plated finishes. Clean your jewelry with an all cotton, no-texture cloth to wipe off any set crystals and pearls. Store in a dry box or container to avoid weather elements such as humidity, moisture and dust. When traveling, use a roll – also known as an jewelry organizer – to protect your treasures. Shelley's jewelry designs are so remarkable that it's easy to forget they are costume pieces. Following these jewelry tips will make sure you get to enjoy your beloved fashion jewelry for years to come simply by caring for them. |
