As the economy improves, more and more people are willing to feel good by buying luxury goods such as jewelry. Swarovski jewelry can be said to be one of the favorite jewelry for jewelry lovers. Swarovski jewelry is more expensive than most jewelry. This makes it very important to know some useful tips to take care of them.
With such beautiful jewelry, you are likely to wear it often. When you wear them every day, their clarity will drop faster, and they will become less clear and attractive than when you just bought them. To prevent them from becoming too boring, you need to gain some knowledge to keep them smart. Let’s discuss some tips you should pay attention to.
What I want to share with you is something that is very cheap in everyday life. If you don’t have a home now, you can easily buy it at the supermarket, and the price is very affordable:
1. Use baby wipes. Baby wipes restore the brilliance of Swarovski jewelry and make it shine again. Use a baby wipe on your hand and use it to roll your jewelry to clean it. Wipe it a few times before you dry it with a dry, clean cloth.
2. Make a solution containing water, dish soap and rubbing alcohol. This is another great way you can use it to care for Swarovski jewelry. This solution is completely non-corrosive and removes all irritating substances from the surface of the jewellery to regain its radiance. Take a covered container and add water, alcohol and dish soap. Cover and shake well to mix the ingredients. Then completely immerse the jewelry in the container. Cover and leave it for at least 3 minutes. At the same time, you can rotate the container to keep it still for the rest of the minute. When the time is up, open the lid and take out your jewelry. Wash off the solution with warm water and dry with a dry, clean cloth.
These suggestions are a very cheap way you can take care of your Swarovski jewelry. With proper care and knowledge, you will be able to maintain the shine and clarity of Swarovski jewelry for a long time.
Some care tips to keep your Swarovski jewelry at its best:
Store your jewelry in its original packaging or a soft pouch to avoid scratching. This also helps to reduce exposure to sunlight and excessive heat, which can fade color.
Always remove your jewelry before washing your hands, swimming, or applying body care products such as perfume, hairspray, soaps, and lotions. These products can damage the metal and reduce the lifetime of the plating, as well as cause discoloration and loss of brilliance.
Put on your jewelry last when dressing and take it off first when undressing. Each stone on your Swarovski jewelry is individually set, therefore each piece is very delicate and can be damaged when tugged or pulled. We also recommend that you do not wear your Swarovski jewelry in bed or when exercising.
Things to avoid
Avoid contact with water and other fluids – especially acidic liquids, sonic cleaners, and commercial jewelry cleaners containing ammonia or alcohol. These types of liquid can damage both the plating and the crystals.
Avoid impact with hard surfaces, as this can cause scratches and chips to the stones and the plating.

When you’ve come home from strutting around town and looking gorgeous in your best jewelry, it’s essential to store your jewelry in the original packaging or a soft pouch to avoid scratches as it looks just as beautiful the next time you put it on.
Necklaces are typically the longest pieces of jewelry in any collection, so they are most susceptible to tangling. To avoid this while in storage, lay them flat in a drawer, let them hang freely or organize them with boxes and trays
Make sure chains and necklaces are fastened when storing to avoid tangling.
Swarovski jewellery is really as dainty as it looks. A less than careful owner can easily destroy the good looking crystals without even trying. Here’s how you can take care of these crystals without too much trouble.
Swarovski crystals, whether in your jewellery or other artefacts, should only be cleaned with mild soapy water. These crystals have a chemical coating on them that lets them refract light into delightful spectrums with every move you make. Being chemical by nature this coating will react with other chemical substances. Even tiny traces can make you wish you hadn’t taken your precious jewellery out of its package. Do not use spray cleaners or harsh chemicals that can easily get to work on the chemical coating tarnishing it forever.
Avoid spraying perfume directly on your crystal jewellery. The chemicals in the perfume will react with the crystal and cause discoloration. Same goes for sweat. Whether it’s a warm, humid day or a day at the tennis courts, there’s a chance your Swarovski may be tarnished by sweat. Ensure you clean your crystal jewellery with mild soap and water before putting them away if you believe it may have come into contact with perspiration. Wipe them thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Keep them away from chlorine in the swimming pool or elsewhere. Sun tan lotions and other cosmetics may also play kryptonite to Swarovski crystals causing them to lose their typical brilliance. Polishing with a soft cloth may help but avoid harsh handling as it may cause the stones to come loose and fall out. Swarovski crystals are basically glass beneath all that glamour and are therefore prone to getting scratches.
Leaving crystal jewellery out in the open encourages tarnishing and loss of quality. You know what oxygen can do to metals and chemicals. So put two and two together and keep jewellery in cases, or in any air tight packing. It is best stored in its original packing or wrapped in some soft tissue or satin material. Avoid exposure to extreme hot weather and direct sunlight.
For stubborn dirt and grime buildup, a soft bristle toothbrush and a small bowl of warm water and mild dish detergent is best. Moisten the bristles of the soft brush with the cleaning solution, gently brushing each of the Swarovski beads, in turn, using a circular motion to remove tough deposits. Once clean, rinse the jewelry briefly with tap water to remove soap. Make sure the stopper is in the drain before you do this, as your jewelry may be slippery from soap, and you don’t want to lose it down the drain. After rinsing, pat it dry gently with a lint-free paper towel or soft cloth. Leave them out to dry thoroughly before storing.
To keep your Swarovski crystal jewelry in pristine condition, polish your Swarovski crystal jewelry regularly with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to maintain its brilliance. Rub gently to avoid snagging the cloth on sharp edges of metal casings and accompanying beads and findings. Wearing a pair of cotton gloves can help you avoid putting fingerprints onto the crystals as you clean. Clean and polish items regularly to keep them looking their best. Never use abrasive cleaning gear or harsh polishing techniques on your jewelry.
Swarovski recommends you to regularly clean and polish your crystal jewellery and figurines to keep them looking their best. There are two main methods for cleaning Swarovski crystal rings:
A lint-free dry cloth. This is your holy-grail. Trust me. You will not be disappointed. I cannot recommend this cloth enough. We speak about it with our customers often to remind them this is the easiest and safest way. This method is best for light cleaning and general maintenance. Gently buff your Swarovski crystal ring with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove any dirt and dust. Polish each crystal with a smooth, circular motion to restore original lustre and beauty. Please please please do not use force on the ring – A light hand is always best to avoid the cloth snagging or pressure on the crystal in its setting.
If you think your ring will need more of a ‘good wash’. We recommend baby sensitive soap and lukewarm water. You want the soap to bubble up to create a foam, and this foam can then be buffed around the ring. Please ensure your ring is facing ‘downwards’. By this, we mean ensure no water/soap is sitting in the ring crevice. This will avoid the ring setting being ruptured.
some tips for caring for your crystal decoration:
Polish your product carefully with a soft, lint free cloth or clean it by hand with lukewarm water. Do not soak your crystal products in water.
Dry with a soft, lint free cloth to maximize brilliance.
Avoid contact with harsh, abrasive materials and glass/window cleaners.
When handling your crystal, it is advisable to wear cotton gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints.

This includes body and clothes friction, sun, heat, dust, perfume sprays, makeup particles and even oil on our skin. In case of Swarovski jewelry, it is not the kind you can buy every other day. You need to take special care of it, keep it clean and safe, so that it continues to add elegance in your personality.
Cleaning this jewelry is not as difficult or expensive as it sounds. In fact, you will find many of the cleaning items at home or at your nearest grocery store. Baby wipes is a wonder-product that cleans this jewelry nicely without damaging the surface of the crystals. After rubbing the baby wipes gently on your crystal jewelry, finish off by using a cotton cloth to dry it and give the jewelry its original luster.
A special method to clean this jewelry is to make a soapy solution and put few drops of vinegar in it. Now take a cotton ball and gently wipe your crystal jewelry. The presence of vinegar will remove all kinds of perfume, body spray and other kinds of oil residues from the crystals without damaging them. Don’t forget to dry off with a clean cotton cloth to give your jewelry the perfect sparkle.
Can I wear my Swarovski necklace all the time?
Do you care about Swarovski crystal necklaces? Swarovski crystal necklaces are all made of artificial crystal, which is also called high-lead glass or lead crystal glass. The composition of this glass is to add 24% lead oxide to silicon dioxide to increase the brightness of the crystal. Lead oxide is not harmful to the human body, so Swarovski necklaces can be worn every day.

As for Swarovski crystals, they are the best, most authentic and lasting quality. Therefore, it is not difficult to ensure and maintain its long-lasting quality and fascinating beauty. Occasionally, simply polish the Swarovski crystals or beads with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth or towel. If it is dirty or very dirty, you can wash it with a small amount of mild detergent or a mild mix of soap and warm water, then wash the Swarovski crystals with a soft brush or a soft cloth or towel. Rinse thoroughly under clean tap water. Wipe dry with a soft, lint-free cloth or towel.
