How to Take Care of Artificial Jewellery: 7 Easy Tips That Work

Byhamzabhatti47042@gmail.com

Fashion jewellery, especially artificial rings and bangles, can instantly elevate your style — but only if they’re well-maintained. If you’ve ever noticed your favorite ring fading or losing its shine too soon, you’re not alone.

Good news? With a little care, you can make your artificial jewellery last longer and look brand new — without any expensive products.

In this post, we’ll share 7 practical tips for preserving your fashion pieces at home — including how to clean fashion rings, how to store artificial jewellery, and what habits to avoid.

1: Avoid Water & Moisture Exposure

Fake jewellery fades quickly when it comes in contact with water. Always remove your rings or bangles before:

  • Washing hands
  • Showering
  • Doing the dishes
    Even sweat can damage plating, so avoid wearing jewellery while exercising.

2: Put On Jewellery After Perfume or Lotion

One of the most common mistakes? Spraying perfume directly on fashion jewellery. Chemicals in body sprays, lotions, and deodorants can ruin the polish and cause discoloration.

Tip: Apply everything first — then wear your jewellery last!

3: How to Clean Fashion Rings at Home

Wondering how to clean artificial jewellery at home? Use this simple method:

  • Mix a little baby shampoo with lukewarm water
  • Dip a soft toothbrush in it
  • Gently scrub your ring
  • Rinse and dry with a microfiber cloth

Avoid harsh chemicals or detergents — they can make things worse.

4: Store Jewellery in Zip-lock Bags

The way you store your jewellery matters just as much as how you wear it. Here’s what works:

✅ Use air-tight zip-lock bags to prevent oxidation
✅ Store each item separately to avoid scratches
✅ Keep in a cool, dry place away from sunlight

Bonus tip: Add a piece of chalk or silica gel to absorb moisture!

5: Don’t Sleep with Jewellery On

We get it — sometimes you’re just too tired. But sleeping with rings or bangles can lead to:

  • Bending
  • Stone loosening
  • Plating fade from body heat/sweat

Take a minute to remove everything before bed — your future self will thank you.

6: Handle Delicate Designs with Care

Pieces that have stones, pearls, or intricate designs need extra love. Never tug, twist, or pull them forcefully. Avoid dropping them on hard surfaces — even a small fall can break the polish or detach stones.

7: Say No to Plastic Boxes

Many people store their jewellery in plastic boxes — big mistake! Plastic can trap humidity and lead to faster tarnishing. Always use soft pouches, velvet-lined boxes, or anti-tarnish cloth for long-lasting shine.
