Making Beautiful Murano Glass Jewelry Dazzle For A Long Time

By Jerri Perry


Women who are spotted wearing Murano glass jewelry pieces are revered for their exquisite taste in fashion accessories. These items are known for their superb quality and the history that each stunning bead carries with it. One look and it's easy to see why a lot of stylish women are crazy about these accessories perfect for just about any mood, attire or occasion.

It's very important to take good care of these items to make them last for years. After all, many of them do not come with cheap price tags. Making sure that they remain dazzling for a long time, luckily, is not really a difficult task.

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.

Stashing anti-tarnish strips or silica gel packets in the organizer is also a good idea. This is done particularly if some of the items have silver parts that may oxidize and tarnish. Moisture present in the air can rob the metal of its beautiful gleam.

Keeping the beads looking shiny is as simple as wiping them with a soft lint-free cloth on a regular basis. The best time to do so is right after wearing them and just before putting them in their designated storage space. Women should apply hairspray, perfume and other cosmetics prior to wearing these accessories to ensure that the beads stay sparkling.

In case the beads get really grimy and dirty, washing them in warm water with mild detergent is enough to do the trick. Afterwards, they should be dried right away and thoroughly using a towel. Getting the beads wet for the sake of cleaning them is perfectly fine as the gold and silver foil used are actually inside every bead and not on the surface. There is actually no need for the owners to resort to the use of commercially available cleaners which can damage the other components used.

Accessorizing with Murano glass jewelry pieces can make any attire of yours look more interesting. It's a must to take good care of these items so you may enjoy them for years. By treating them properly, they can make you shine each time.
