Being women we love shopping and the sight of bedazzling jewellery make us weak in the knees. It's not true that we come back home with exactly what we intend to get, as we tend to give in to the temptations to shop more. When you have too many jewellery options to choose from, there comes a time when you need a few hacks. You might also need to learn a few organizational skills. Read on to know about our five awesome hacks for your jewellery.
1. Paper clip bracelet fastener
Wearing a hook bracelet can be a tedious affair as you need to join delicate ends of the bracelet with one hand. Worry not, with our paper clip hack, tie it up like a pro.
Method: Take two paper clips and open them such that they form an 'S'. Now connect the two clips by hooking them on to each other. Attach the hook of the bracelet to one end of the clip. Place the bracelet on your hand and hold the other end of the clip with your fingers. In this way, you can easily tie the bracelet.
2. Extended necklace
Some outfits require you to wear a long chain necklace. But, if you don't have any long necklaces, this hack will help you ...
... rock one with your desired outfit. All you need to do is find a plain old bracelet that is without many attachments or design patterns. The next step is to connect the hooks of the necklace with the hooks of the bracelet and voila! Your long chain necklace is ready!
3. Vaseline
Metals used in some earrings can make you develop a rash or a reaction on your earlobe. Wearing long earrings which are heavy and bulky can also bruise the earlobe. The best hack to solve these problems is our long-time old friend, Vaseline. If you're wearing a new pair of earrings and know, that you could get a reaction, apply Vaseline on them before wearing. It would act as a protective layer between your skin and the metal and also prevent friction.
4. Nail Polish hacks
We know we love our jewellery, but just like people, we hate it when our jewellery begins to show its true colours. That's what happens after you use your jewellery for a longer period and the colour coat starts to wear off. A simple hack for this is to apply a coat of clear nail polish over your new jewellery items like rings or earrings. This will protect it from moisture and friction. You can also paint monotonous jewellery pieces with different coloured nail paints to give them a flashy look.
5. Bobby pin necklace headdress
It's time for that electronic music festival you were all waiting for, and you need to put your wacky outfits on! One of the favorite pieces to wear to a festival is a fancy headdress, but it's difficult to find a good one. One hack we have for this is to take your favorite necklace which you would like to wear as a headdress. Now attach two to three bobby pins to each end of the necklace and pin them up to the sides of your head. Your glittery headdress is ready!
We hope these hacks help you to deal with all your jewellery dilemmas!
