How To Keep Your Competition Jewelry Sparkling Like a Goddess.

The moment is finally here—your competition jewelry from All That Glitters GEMS has arrived! You rip open that package, do a little happy dance (maybe a big one, we won’t judge), and marvel at the breathtaking sparkle. We get it, Goddess—your jewels are stunning, show-stopping, EVERYTHING.

But here’s the truth: competition jewelry is fashion jewelry, and if you don’t treat it right, that shine won’t last. While all jewelry will eventually show signs of love and wear, with proper care, you can preserve that jaw-dropping dazzle for as long as possible.

✨ Follow these four essential tips—plus our secret pro tip—to preserve your gems and shine like the goddess you are! ✨

Keep Your Gems DRY (Like, Sahara Desert Dry) 💦🚫

Moisture is the #1 enemy of your bikini competition jewelry. Any exposure to water, sweat, or chemicals can tarnish, dull, or erode your gems faster than you can say “first callouts.”

  • ❌ Water (rain, showers, steam rooms—keep that jewelry FAR away)
  • ❌ Sweat (yes, even that post-pump flex moment)
  • ❌ Fragrances, lotions, and tanning products
  • ❌ Oils, deodorants, and makeup
💡 Pro Tip: Apply ALL beauty products before putting on your jewelry—no one likes a cloudy rhinestone.

Last On, First Off ⏳✨

Your All That Glitters GEMS jewels should be the very last thing you put on before stepping on stage. And, Goddess, they should be the first thing you take off after your show.

  • ✅ Keeps them free from tanning oils and glaze
  • ✅ Prevents snagging your competition suit or hair
  • ✅ Minimizes wear and tear so your sparkle lasts
💡 Pro Tip: Pack a soft pouch in your show-day bag for easy, damage-free removal backstage.

Store Your Jewelry Like the Crown Jewels 💎🛡️

When you’re not strutting in your sparkle, storage is everything to prevent oxidation (a.k.a. metal turning black—ew, no thanks).

  • ✔️ Use an airtight jewelry box (or even a sealed Ziploc bag)
  • ✔️ Keep different metals separate—no mixing allowed
  • ✔️ Throw in silica gel packets or a piece of chalk—they absorb moisture and keep your gems flawless
💡 Pro Tip: Swap out silica gel packets or chalk monthly for maximum protection.

Skip the Jewelry Cleaner—Here’s the Real Tea 🧼❌

Repeat after us: DO. NOT. USE. JEWELRY. CLEANER.

Liquid jewelry cleaners are way too harsh for fashion jewelry and rhinestones. They’re designed for solid gold, silver, or platinum—not for your gorgeous bling.

And listen up, Goddess—don’t even THINK about using a damp cloth. Any moisture, even a little, can loosen the stones or dull the sparkle.

✔️ How to clean instead? Use a **dry, soft microfiber cloth** (*like the one we provide with your order!*) to **gently wipe off sweat, makeup, or oils before storing**. 💡 Pro Tip: Always handle your jewelry with **clean, dry hands** to keep it in flawless condition.

The Hard Truth: Fashion Jewelry Won’t Last Forever… But YOU Can Keep It Stunning for Longer

Listen, Goddess—we’re not about to lie to you. Competition jewelry isn’t meant to last a lifetime. But if you follow these tips, your bling will stay show-stopping for WAY longer.
