I'm sure you already know Les Roux offer costume jewelry from around the planet. So, most of them are handmade and a few of them are machine made. Be reminded that these are not real jewelry (costume jewelry = not real) and they are also prone to wear and tear (they oxidize and tarnish in time, unless you buy real jewelry or the stainless ones which are so-not nice!) and our accessories come different finishes too (i.e rhodium plated, matte finish, gold plated etc. - perfect for changing trends) and they need different care for each finish/category, without proper care they may oxidize and tarnish easily, but here's a general guideline for you to follow for your Les Roux accessories. Be rest assured that we only offer high quality of accessories.
I myself is an accessory fanatic, keeping them in a jewelry box is not enough! It's just like tossing your precious jewelry in any container, there's no difference. This is where ziplocks come in handy, they keep the piece of jewelry away from air/oxygen that can cause fast-oxidation. Keep them in ziplock baggy then keep them in your jewelry box. :)
If the piece of jewelry is vintage or bronze/copper plated then you can just keep it in any container because it won't change in color. If you're feeling lazy, you can just wipe it with a regular soft cloth once in a while (once a month if you're reallyyyy lazy). BUT if you treasure them so much (like i do!) ziplock baggy will always be your best friend.
And all of those crap boils down to only one thing.. "No piece of jewelry will last if you do not take good care of it properly".
Oh and for the acidic gals who are allergic to costume jewelry :( Some of our clients are acidic, they do get rashes every now and then (don't be scared! LOL) That's why I don't recommend wearing costume jewelry on bare skin.
