While your costume jewellery may not have cost you the earth, and we all know that non precious metals will tarnish over time, it is still worthwhile taking the time to look after your jewellery so as to extend its life.
Here are six simple tips to help you do just that.
1) Always remove your jewellery before showering, swimming or doing housework such as washing up.
2) When you are getting ready to go out, make sure that putting on your jewellery is the very last thing that you do. If you have showered, make sure your skin is totally dry. Likewise if you have put on body lotion, tan or moisturiser make sure it is completely dry before putting on your costume jewellery. Always spray your perfume and hairspray before

3) Do not get your jewellery wet, but if you do make sure to dry it completely with a soft cloth - not paper towels as these are too abrasive.
4) Before storing your costume jewellery take the time to wipe it with a very soft cloth to get rid of body oils and dirt.
5) Store your jewellery in seperate bags or pouches; this will prevent them from hitting off each other which could cause scratches and dulling.
6) Store the jewellery in a drawer or jewellery box in order to keep them away from dust, dirt and prolonged sun exposure.
Remember you didn't buy your Costume Jewellery to decorate the drawer - so wear it and enjoy it!
