Your
Butterfly Jewelry Should Be the Last Thing You Put On

I
know it might be tempting to put on your jewelry in the morning or while
preparing for a night out with friends. However, it is prudent and safe to wait
till you are completely ready before you can don your butterfly jewelry.

Whether
you will be wearing rhinestones or diamonds, the chemicals coming from your
hair products, perfume, and make-up can really damage your pieces. Think of
your butterfly jewelry as the finishing touch for your look.

Avoid
Wearing Lotion with Jewelry

Although
some occasional exposure to hand and body lotion will not damage most fine
butterfly jewelry, it might destroy the finish on some costume pieces. To add to
this, the build-up of lotion products will require more and more frequent
cleaning of jewelry. The best way is to put on lotion on your hands and body
once you have taken off your jewelry at night.

Store
Your Jewelry Pieces Separately

Well,
you can be so much careful when wearing your jewelry, but the truth of the
matter is, your butterfly jewelry can sustain some damage during storage. In
most cases, this is caused when pieces get tangled or knock against each other.

Some
of the most vulnerable materials include wood, precious metals, pearls,
gemstones, and plastic. The best way to avoid such damage is by storing your
pieces in such a way that they don’t touch each other. You can use items such
as separated cloth pouches, jewelry armoires, cases, jewelry bags, or even
jewelry trees.
