Rhinestones are one of the most common stones used in jewelry. They are used to create bright and striking colors that to imitate large gemstones. However, rhinestones are different with gemstones but offer the same exact beauty and elegance. Here are some simple tips for storage & cleaning your rhinestone jewelry:

Most rhinestones are set in place using just glue. So, when its exposed to the sun, it melts the glue that is holding the rhinestones in place.
Keep it dry
The number one reason which will cause the rhinestone to lose its shine is moisture! NEVER sink it into any type of liquid. The moisture can make the foil separate from the rears of the rhinestones which results in losing their clarity, color, and of course sparkle.
Store it properly
Store your rhinestone jewelry properly. As much as possible, in boxes to avoid chipping your pretty stones. Don't ever put everything in one box as it can cause scratches and damage.
Clean them well
