At Shelly Jewels, we believe that every piece of artificial jewellery is an opportunity to express your unique style without compromising on quality or beauty. Our collections are crafted to bring you joy and elevate your look, but like any cherished possession, your artificial jewellery needs a little love and care to maintain its brilliance. To help you keep your favourite Shelly Jewels pieces sparkling for years to come, let's explore seven common mistakes that can diminish their charm and, more importantly, how to easily avoid them!
The Mistake: One of the quickest ways to dull your artificial jewellery is exposing it to water. Showering, swimming, or even heavy sweating can cause plating to fade and stones to lose their lustre.
How to Avoid It: Always remove your Shelly Jewels pieces before showering, swimming, or engaging in activities that cause excessive sweating. Keep silica gel packets in your jewellery box to absorb any lingering moisture.
The Mistake: While natural jewellery might withstand strong cleaners, artificial pieces can be severely damaged by harsh chemicals, leading to discoloration or stripping of the protective layers.
How to Avoid It: Gently clean your Shelly Jewels with a soft, slightly damp cloth and a very mild soap if necessary. Always ensure it's thoroughly dry before storing. Our pieces are designed for easy maintenance!
The Mistake: Tossing all your jewellery together can lead to scratches, tangles, and accelerated wear and tear.
How to Avoid It: Store each Shelly Jewels item separately. Use soft pouches, individual compartments in a jewellery box, or even small zip-lock bags for necklaces and earrings to prevent them from rubbing against each other. This keeps them safe and ready to wear.
The Mistake: Lotions, perfumes, hairsprays, and cosmetics can leave a residue on your jewellery, causing it to lose its shine and attract dirt.
How to Avoid It: Make your Shelly Jewels the last touch to your outfit. Apply all your beauty products and allow them to dry before adorning yourself with our stunning pieces. Avoid spraying perfume directly onto your jewellery.
The Mistake: Whether you're hitting the gym, cleaning the house, or doing manual work, your jewellery is at risk of physical damage, exposure to chemicals, or excessive friction.
How to Avoid It: Before any strenuous activity or household chores, take off your Shelly Jewels. This simple step protects them from scratches, bending, and chemical exposure.
The Mistake: Over time, natural oils from your skin, dust, and environmental pollutants can build up on your artificial jewellery, making it appear dull.
How to Avoid It: After every wear, gently wipe your Shelly Jewels with a soft, dry cloth to remove any oils or residues. Plan a deeper, gentle cleaning once a month to keep them gleaming.
The Mistake: Sometimes, the initial appeal of a low price can lead to purchasing sub-standard artificial jewellery that quickly loses its charm.
How to Avoid It: At Shelly Jewels, we prioritize quality in every design. By choosing reputable brands like ours, you invest in pieces made with durable materials and superior plating, ensuring your jewellery remains beautiful for longer. Always check reviews and product descriptions when shopping online.
By following these simple tips, you can ensure your Shelly Jewels artificial jewellery continues to be a cherished part of your collection, sparkling and reflecting your unique style for many occasions to come.
