Keep your Body Bangle jewellery sparkling

Discover our expert tips and tricks to ensure your beloved Body Bangle sterling costume jewellery remains as beautiful as the day you first received it. Proper care makes all the difference.

Caring for your costume jewellery

To keep your costume jewellery clean and looking its best, follow these expert tips:

  • Use a soft toothbrush: For cleaning between tiny cracks and creases, a soft toothbrush can be effective. Avoid using water unless absolutely necessary to prevent tarnishing.
  • Apply a simple solution: Mix some baby shampoo and water or liquid dish detergent with a cotton swab for surface cleaning.
  • Dry thoroughly: After cleaning, dry your jewellery with a fresh, clean cloth, but avoid rubbing it hard to prevent popping a stone.
  • Optional: Use a hairdryer set to the cool setting to ensure all moisture has evaporated.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals: Never use bleach, ammonia, or other strong chemicals to clean your costume jewellery, as they can damage the materials and cause discoloration.

By following these steps, you can maintain the shine and longevity of your costume jewellery without causing any damage.

Protecting your costume jewellery 

While the costume jewellery is durable, it requires specific care to retain its lustre. Here’s what to avoid:

  • Harsh chemicals: Costume jewellery can be damaged by bleach, ammonia, and other strong cleaning agents. These can cause discoloration and irreparable damage.
  • Abrasive materials: Do not use harsh scrubbing pads or abrasive cleaners, as they can scratch the surface of your jewellery.
  • Prolonged exposure to moisture:  Avoid getting costume jewellery wet for extended periods, as this can accelerate tarnishing.

Gentle handling and avoiding these common pitfalls will help keep your jewellery beautiful for years to come.

Simple everyday care tips

Incorporating these easy habits into your routine will significantly extend the life of your Body Bangle jewellery:

  • Store properly: If possible, keep your costume jewellery in the organza pouch provided to protect it from other jewellery when not being worn.
  • Avoid beauty products: Keep all jewellery away from beauty products including perfumes, hairspray, makeup, and lotions. Apply these products first, and then put on your jewellery.
  • Occasional wear: Costume jewellery is typically most suited to occasional rather than very frequent or continuous wear. Consider reserving your most delicate pieces for special occasions.
  • Remove before activities: Take off your jewellery before showering, swimming, doing chores, or engaging in strenuous activities to prevent damage and exposure to harsh elements.

By following these simple guidelines, your unique Body Bangle creations will continue to shine brightly, enhancing your style for many years.
