of it and allows for a much larger variety of bigger, bolder, attention
grabbing colors and styles that can be mixed and matched according to
your mood or wardrobe.

Although costume jewelry doesn't require much of an investment, it
is still important to get the most bang for your buck by taking proper
care of your jewelry by following a few simple steps:
· NEVER allow costume jewelry to come in contact with oils, soaps,
perfumes, or any harsh chemicals which can fade or even ruin the item.
· ALWAYS remove jewelry before sports, swimming, exercising,
washing hands, showering, cleaning, doing laundry, or applying lotions
or creams.
· NEVER store jewelry wet. Always dry with a soft cloth before storing.
· Store jewelry in a plastic ziploc bag or soft jewelry pouch away from other objects items to avoid scratching.
· Store jewelry in a clean, dry, cool, not cold place away from heat and dust.

cleaner that specifically states that it is safe for costume jewelry.
Make sure it does not contain acid, alcohol, or ammonia. Only use
jewelry cleaner as directed. DO NOT over scrub.
· Only use a cloth specially made for jewelry when buffing.
