Premium fashion accessories ought to be given utmost care. After all, they do not come with cheap price tags. Making sure that they are cleaned and stored properly allows you to enjoy them for so many years to come. When it comes to your elegant pearl and gemstone jewelry pieces, you certainly want them to make you look and feel stunning for as long as possible.

It's for certain that these premium items can give you what you need each time you want to feel confident and lovely. This can only happen if you keep them in their best possible conditions. Otherwise, you may fail to elicit flattering stares and remarks as those scratched, cracked or grimy pearls and gems may fall short in trying to add some sparkle to what you are wearing.

Your fashion accessories that boast of stunning pearls and gems need sufficient caring and protection from anything that can ruin them. By providing all of their needs, you can enjoy your pricey investments for years. It is possible to make them last for a lifetime. In fact, these premium fashion must-haves can even be handed from generation to generation.

When not being worn, it's important for them to be stashed in the boxes they came in when they were purchased. If they are no longer around, place your personal ornaments separately in pouches out of soft fabric such as cotton and velvet. Do not place pearls and gemstones right next to one another. Buy an organizer with a lot of compartments, each one lined with felt.

Don't leave your prized possessions close to appliances that generate heat or directly under the blistering sun. It's important to place fashion accessories with silver parts in a cool, dry place. Doing so helps delay the process of tarnishing. You may also get your hands on strips of anti-tarnish paper and place them inside organizers and pouches to keep silver parts from tarnishing really quickly.

Wearing your personal ornaments makes them susceptible to getting dirty and oily, preventing them from sparkling. This is the reason why polishing the surfaces with a soft and lint-free cloth is necessary. In case you are faced with stubborn stain and grime, all you need to do is dip a soft-bristled toothbrush in a mix of warm water and mild detergent, then gently brush those trouble areas. Remember to dry them immediately. Never carry out these simple cleaning steps on your fashion accessories with delicate pearls.

See to it that you have already put on all of your clothes before adding your choice of personal ornaments. Similarly, you should be through applying your favorite cosmetic products before accessorizing. Hand and body lotions, hairsprays, deodorants, perfumes and others contain ingredients that may coat the surfaces of pearls and gemstones, keeping all of them from looking dazzling.

Your most treasured possessions should be taken to an expert once in a while. This is done for professional cleaning as well as maintenance. It's a good idea to let them be checked by a reputable local jeweler once every 6 months.
