How To Keep Stylish Rhinestone Chokers From Losing Their Sparkle

By Eliza Mendoza


There are numerous accessories you need from time to time and some of them are rhinestone chokers. These items can make you a complete standout no matter if paired with formal attires to make them look more complete or costumes to add more excitement to them. No matter where you go, these accessories can make you the center of everyone's attention.

These stunning accessories are not going to look fabulous and radiant all the time. Rhinestones and the metal sections are prone to gathering a layer of dirt and grime. What's more, those ornaments that look like precious stones may end up loose and fall out in time. If not careful with their use and storage, women may not enjoy these necklaces for a very long time.

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.

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 worn only after women have put on their clothes and their everyday cosmetics. Hairspray, perfumes, deodorants and others contain strong ingredients that may easily rob these accessories of their sparkle. In contrast, they need to be removed first so that they won't accidentally bump against buttons, zippers, pins and other metal items usually found on women's clothes.
