Making Your Stunning Murano Glass Jewelry Sparkling Always

By Jerri Perry


Women sporting Murano glass jewelry items are admired for their fine taste when it comes to accessorizing. That's because these ornaments are famous for their superb craftsmanship and the history carried by each and every bead. One look is all it takes to know why many elegant women are into wearing these accessories that go well with just about any attire or event.

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.

Just like any other glass, the Murano type can break if the wearer is not careful. These eye-catching beads adorning all sorts of fashion accessories can be compared to the durability of marbles children play with. However, longer and thinner ones tend to break easily. No matter the case, they should be kept from dropping to the floor or banging against surfaces.

Owners of these exquisite items should not throw away the boxes or pouches that they originally came in as they make for excellent storage spaces. To protect them from dust and more importantly impact, boxes are commonly padded and pouches are usually out of soft fabrics like suede. When not in use or while traveling, these accessories should be kept in them.

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.

Placing anti-tarnish strips or small bags of silica gel inside the organizer is recommended. This is done for the benefit of accessories with silver parts that are prone to oxidizing and tarnishing. Moisture in the air can cause such metal to look dull.

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.
