Costume inspiration jewelry is often made with silver or gold plate and glass stones, so cleaning it can be a challenge. You don't want to damage any of the fragile areas of the jewelry, and it can tarnish, just like precious jewelry. Keep your costume inspiration jewelry clean and sparkling by washing it gently with a mild dishwashing detergent that you dilute in water.

Make sure it is totally dry before you put it in water. You can use fresh silver dip liquid, such as Tarn-X, as well, but use it sparingly. Avoid strong jewelry cleaners, like paste or polish cloths, because they can wear away the plate, leaving the base metal underneath. When your costume inspiration jewelry is clean, store it in soft, tarnish-proof bags.

If you own any inspirational silver jewelry you know that it can tarnish easily and can be difficult to clean. Most jewelers recommend wiping the piece with a soft cloth after you wear it, to remove oils, perfume, and makeup from the piece, which can speed up the tarnishing process.

Don't use paste, it can harm some delicate pieces, and it can also get lodged in tiny details and cracks, which can actually cause your inspirational silver jewelry to tarnish faster. Instead, use a liquid polish that's easier to get into details and easier to remove. Always polish the piece carefully with a soft cloth like cotton or cotton flannel; never use any harsh chemicals on your inspirational silver jewelry.

Also, don't store gold and silver jewelry together. Keep your inspirational silver jewelry clean, and it will last a lifetime and give you years of joy and comfort!

You can use a polishing cloth to polish your silver friendship bracelets and silver friendship rings, but make absolutely sure the cloth is meant for silver. If you use a cloth not safe for silver, you can actually do more damage than good to the piece, so double check before you use or purchase a polishing cloth. If your silver friendship bracelet has stones or pearls as part of the design, never rub them with the cloth, you could scratch or chip them. It's best to take these kinds of stones to a professional for cleaning. Many jewelry experts don't recommend using silver dipping solutions on jewelry, because they have chemicals that can actually harm the silver or wear it off in time. Never use these types of solutions on semi-precious or fragile stones like opals or pearls.

Take care of your silver by polishing it carefully and your silver friendship bracelets will give you a lifetime of beauty and motivation.

Your beautiful Christian jewelry is an investment, and you should protect it when you store it. Store your jewelry in a sturdy case with a soft interior (often what your Christian jewelry came in when you bought it). If you don't have a sturdy, lined case, store your jewelry in soft, tarnish resistant pouches to protect your jewelry from tarnishing and from scratches, as well.

Store your jewelry in separate pouches so they don't tangle, too. Don't put your jewelry box anywhere near heat or dampness, because heat and moisture can damage some precious stones. Carefully wipe your jewelry with a soft cloth after you wear it, to remove perfume, perspiration, and cosmetics, which can also damage your fine Christian jewelry. Don't forget to have your precious Christian jewelry professionally cleaned once a year!
