After a wedding, all of the jewelries that you have used should be kept to maintain its beauty and glamour; therefore, you should know how to take care of your crystal wedding jewelry so that you will be able to use it in other special occasions. The most common and top of the line crystal jewelries are Swarovski crystals. If you own such crystals and used it from your previous wedding, here are some tips on how to take care of your crystal wedding jewelry.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Keep in mind that wearing crystals for a long period of time or on a daily basis will make it dull and lose its luster. Some of the causes of dullness of crystals usually involve activities that women do to take care of themselves. These would include application of make-up, lotion, and hairspray. The natural oil from our skin can also cause dullness of crystals.

  2. Step 2

    You can take care of your crystal wedding jewelry without having to spend a lot of money. Some of the materials you need can be purchased at grocery stores or may be even found at your home already. A good thing to keep your crystal shiny is to use baby wipes. Wipe your crystals using these baby wipes and dry them with clean cotton.

  3. Step 3

    Aside from using baby wipes, you can also make a solution by yourself to wipe off the chemicals that could lose the sparkle of your crystals. The solution is composed of water, alcohol, and dishwashing liquid. Mix them together and use it to clean your crystal jewelries.

  4. Step 4

    Aside from using the mentioned solution to wipe off the chemicals, you can also place it in a small container to soak your crystals. However, you should only soak it in a span of one to two minutes. After that, you should rinse your jewelry with lukewarm water to remove the solution. Wipe it dry with clean cotton or tissue and you will see how radiant your crystals are.
