I have a bunch of fake jewelry and watches and things, and they rust uncontrollably! Is there any way to stop this or slow it down?

Ok, I have a lot of jewelry: long and short necklaces, rings, bracelets, watches, belly button rings, and other body piercing jewelry too!
I have a jewelry box but it seems to be shrinking because it’s not big enough to store all my jewelry now.….So, I end up keeping a lot of the jewelry laying all around the jewelry box, but not in it and it’s a big mess!
Any suggestions of what to do and how to keep in nice and organized?

When it comes to mens fashion accessories it is hugely important to buy the correct watch as it can make or break an outfit.  Choosing the best mens designer watch can often be difficult and a little confusing owing to the fact there are simply so many manufacturers and styles to choose from.  Consider the following hints when you are out shopping for that perfect watch.  
You should begin by deciding on what style of watch you wish to buy.  Are you going to wear it at work, out on the town or perhaps for leisure pursuits?There is nothing worse than seeing a sports watch when it is being worn with a sharp suit.  

After you have decided on the type of watch, you should decide on the type of movement (inner workings of the watch) of which there are 3 types.A quartz designer watch uses a tiny vibrating movement and will be very accurate.  Mechanical watches will rely on the mechanical workings of springs and gears - these types of watches are not as accurate although they are considered more fashionable as they are so elaborate.A simple digital watch is of course battery powered and considered the more casual option.

Ensure that the size of the watch face is appropriate.For example a larger man who is wearing a regular sized watch may give the impression he is wearing a ladies watch due to the contrast in sizes.  Consider the quality and construction of the watch.In particular take a close look to make sure there is a polished bezel and case.

Remember that ‘water resistant‘ is not the same as ‘water proof’.Water resistant watches will be fine when splashed with a little water whereas water proof watches will be rated by depth.  Consider also the cystal covering the face – you can choose from Plexiglass (cheap but scratches easily), mineral crystal (more expensive, more likely to shatter, less likely to get scratched), and synthetic sapphire (most expensive, almost scratchproof but easy to shatter).

Finally - the choice of strap which can be plastic, leather, cloth or metal.This is purely a personal choice but do bear in mind that leather is considered more formal and metal more casual.
