Alex and Ani - Care for Your Trend Jewelry


Now that multitudes have joined the Alex and Ani jewelry craze, you’ll want to know how to take care of your pieces. Since these items are made with recycled materials, they will wear differently on every person. 



First, what not to do: don’t go swimming, take a bath, or do housework (I know that’s a hardship) while wearing them. Any chemicals including jewelry cleaner can be abrasive to the material. 










Also, don’t spray on perfume, or apply lotions or other products while wearing the jewelry. 









Next, what can you do to take the best care of your Alex and Ani purchase? 



Regular care can consist of using mild soap, 














                                                                      running a clean water rinse, 

 













and patting dry. 

  


This will avoid marks on your skin or the bangles.

Care cards are available at your favorite Alex and Ani jewelry store giving detailed instructions on what to do and what not to do to keep your trend jewelry in top condition.

Wear Your Jewelry!


Wear your jewelry! That might seem obvious, but do you leave your jewelry in rolls, boxes, and safes? Take it out! Put it on! 

 







Feel like a princess in a fairy tale with glittering diamonds, gems, and precious metals. 


Don’t just leave the jewels for special occasions – bedeck yourself like the queen you are!





That goes for you, you charming princes! 
 


Wear your watch, ring, and bracelet going out on the town or around town. 









What about making all her dreams come true with that dazzling diamond? 






If your home is your castle, you should feel like royalty every once in a while. 


 

This is the grown up version of dress up – go ahead and have some fun!

Solar Power for You





Here’s a tip to save you money! You will never need to buy a watch battery again if you have a solar powered watch! 

 Solar energy is the technology used to convert the sun's energy and put it to use.







A great company using this technology is Citizen Watch with their Eco Drive collection. The technology used captures light from the sun or artificial light and harnesses the energy. 

 



 The converted energy is stored in rechargeable lithium ion cells. The cells are permanently chargeable and run the watch virtually forever. According to Citizen Watch “Enough energy is stored to power the watch for at least 6 months even in the dark.”





Don’t waste jewelry box space with watches that aren’t running! Solar powered watches may be right for you. 

Solar power has been used in homes, calculators, and spacecraft with amazing results. 

Why not put it to use for yourself?
