    Default Cleaning rhinestone choker

    I've gone through a zillion rhinestone chokers...k, well maybe not that many. After a couple of uses, they lose their pizazzzz, their sparkle, their light coloredness and become a boring, dull darker color.

    Does anyone know if I can get something to "clean" them anywhere or should I just keep buying new ones?

    I use denture cleaner (polident) and a toothbrush. Works wonders!

    Does it work on the dark rhinestones? I noticed that many of my rhinestones look okay, actually, but some are darker than the others. They remind me of missing teeth. I read online that basically rhinestones are glass with foil or something behind them to reflect differently than diamonds. The article said once the foil was messed up, you just have to replace the rhinestone. Is that true?

    My necklace and hoops are starting to look dull- so I will try the polident method. Is it a cream or watery solution?
    Should I put it on the brush then scrub? Will it look different right away or will it need to dry first?

    You use the polident the same way you would use it for dentures. Put the tablet in water, let it dissolve,put necklace in and let it sit a few mins. Then take an old toothbrush and start scrubbing. Rinse and repeat. It'll look like new.

    God bless you for trooping the rhinestone chokers, everytime I wore one it pinched my neck, and it actually hurt pretty bad. They do look pretty though!

    They're kind of designed to self destruct. It's the smoke that ruins them. You can definitely clean them a few times, but that's it.
