Imitation (or artificial) jewelry is a must-have in every modern wardrobe. It’s affordable, stylish, and perfect for everything from everyday wear to special occasions. But if not cared for properly, imitation jewelry can lose its shine, tarnish, or even break easily.
In this blog, we’ll share simple yet effective tips to help you keep your imitation jewelry looking new and sparkling for a long time.
🧴 1. Wear Jewelry After Applying Perfume & Lotions
Perfumes, deodorants, lotions, and hair sprays contain chemicals that can damage the coating of imitation jewelry.
👉 Tip: Always wear your jewelry after applying your makeup and fragrances.
💧 2. Keep It Away from Water
Avoid wearing imitation jewelry while bathing, washing hands, or swimming. Water can fade the polish and cause the metal to tarnish.
👉 Tip: Always remove jewelry before stepping into the shower or pool.
📦 3. Store It Properly
Don’t dump all your pieces together. They can scratch, tangle, or lose stones.
👉 Tip: Store each piece separately in ziplock bags, soft pouches, or jewelry boxes lined with fabric.
🧽 4. Clean Gently – No Harsh Chemicals
Never use strong cleaners or rough brushes.
👉 Tip: Wipe jewelry with a soft cotton cloth after use. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water with mild soap and a soft toothbrush – then dry thoroughly.
☀️ 5. Avoid Direct Sunlight & Heat
Prolonged exposure to heat or sunlight can fade colors and make materials brittle.
👉 Tip: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
✋ 6. Handle with Care
Many imitation pieces are delicate – especially those with stones or detailed work.
👉 Tip: Avoid pulling or tugging while removing them. Handle gently to prevent damage.
🔄 7. Rotate Your Jewelry
Wearing the same piece every day can wear it out quickly.
👉 Tip: Switch up your jewelry regularly to extend the life of each piece.
✅ Final Thoughts
With just a little extra care, your imitation jewelry can stay beautiful and shiny for years. These simple habits will help protect your pieces and keep them looking as good as new.
