Making Beautiful Murano Glass Jewelry Dazzle For A Long Time

By Jerri Perry


The fact that you own Murano glass jewelry pieces makes it obvious that you have superb taste when it comes to fashion accessories. After all, these beautiful items are popular for their history as well as their superb beauty and craftsmanship. Just about any boring attire of yours can instantly make a lot of heads turn the moment you accessorize with them.

It's important to take care of these items properly so that they may dazzle for a long time. After all, they usually don't come cheap. It's a good thing that keeping them in superb condition is a task that won't take up much time and energy.

Glass can break no matter the kind, and the Murano variety is included. The durability of the beads adorning your fashion accessories is comparable to marbles that kids love playing with. Do take note that longer and thinner ones may be more delicate. No matter the shape or size, ensure that they don't accidentally crash to the floor or bang against hard surfaces.

Women who own these beautiful fashion accessories should keep the boxes or small bags they originally came in as they may be used as storage spaces. Other than shielding them from dust, they also minimize impact as the boxes are padded and the bags are often out of soft fabrics such as suede. These storage spaces can be very handy especially when traveling.

Investing in a good jewelry organizer helps eliminate clutter in the room. The right one to purchase is something that has several compartments, each of them lined with a soft material for added protection. Putting each and every accessory in its own compartment saves it from getting entangled with another piece and keeps the beads from knocking against each other.

Some of your accessories may have silver parts that are prone to tarnishing. To save them from ending up dull, add silica gel packs or anti-tarnish strips in the organizer. They absorb moisture in the air, slowing down the process of oxidation and tarnishing.

To maintain the sparkle of the beads, regularly wiping them with a soft and lint-free cloth may be done. The right time to do this is after they are used to remove accumulated dirt and oils. Women should always remember to put on their lotion, makeup, hairspray, perfume and other cosmetics before wearing these accessories to keep the beads from looking dull.

When the time comes that the beads are really soiled, the best way to bring back their splendor is by washing them in a mixture of warm water and mild soap. They should be thoroughly dried with a towel afterwards. Water won't damage the gold and silver foil because they are actually inside each bead and not just on the surface. It's best for the owners of these accessories to steer clear of using commercially available cleaning solutions as they may leave other components damaged.

Murano glass jewelry pieces can instantly make just about any garment look fantastic. To enjoy them for a very long time, taking good care of them is essential. These fine accessories can make women sparkle for years if they are treated properly.
