Restoring the Beauty of Swarovski CrystalsIf you have a few swan figurines or something like large earrings, proper cleaning and restoration can help maintain the elegance. Read this complete guide here on how to restore them and get the shine back.
Gentle Cleaning Techniques
Cotton Gloves are Key: Always wear cotton gloves when touching your Swarovski items; you don’t want the oils from your skin to tarnish those gems.
Polishing with a Soft Cloth: To start, take your crystals (whether they are in the form of jewelry or another item) and polish them gently using a soft cloth. They can remove any dust/light dirt quite effectively, and without scratching the surface.
Step 3 — Circular Motion: Polish each crystal with smooth, circular motions for added shine and luster.
Deep Cleaning Methods
Use a Mild Soap Solution: If the dirt is so extensive, you have to use lukewarm water that includes two or three drops of mild dish soap which is pH-neutral.
DO NOT SOAK: At no point should you soak your Swarovski jewelry pieces in water and at all costs use a damp cloth to gently wipe them clean.

Restoration Tips
Check for damage — Look at the items to clean and check if there are any loose or broken parts, some chips. Always do repairs by using UV-activated adhesive on the detached parts.
Ask For Professional Help: If the damage is severe or if you are not sure about how to fix it, take your item in for professional Swarovski restoration.
Following the above steps will help to ensure your Swarovski crystals maintain their brilliance and sparkle as if new every time you first got them!
