Never use a liquid cleanser on rhinestone or crystal costume jewels
Rhinestone and crystals have a copper based backing and moisture will cause this to corrode and stones may have to be reset or replaced
Wipe down your jewels after wearing, as damage is caused by makeup, perfume, moisturiser and skin oils left on your jewellery
Try not to wear your costume jewellery too frequently
Vintage cocktail rings were designed to be worn for special occasions, so excessive wear may cause rings to tarnish
Refrain from knocking rhinestone or crystal pieces against any hard surface
Store jewels away from sunlight and moisture
Store jewels in a snap lock bag with the air removed and separate each piece
A little care goes a long way to preserving your vintage jewellery, allowing you and others to enjoy your collection for years to come
