Care and Cleaning
Caring for Beaded Jewelry
Thoughtful and daily care is the best technique for keeping your beaded jewelry scratch free and brilliant looking.
First rule- Apply your make-up, perfumes, hair spray, lotions, etc. BEFORE you put your beaded jewelry on.
Second rule - Don't wear beaded jewelry in the shower, swimming pool or during housecleaning chores. Besides the fact you would look like "Leave it to Beaver's" mom -harsh chemicals and cleaning agents can dull or scratch the surface of some beads.
Cleaning your Beaded Jewelry
Most cases, all you need is a clean soft cloth, like a chamois.
A soft paintbursh or toothbrush is handy for cleaning dust
Storing your Beaded Jewelry
Just as you store your finished beaded jewelry pieces in special boxes or compartments, Storing them well will keep your beads pristine and scratch free.
Storing beads in appropriate containers allows similar beads to be stored together. It keeps the larger, chunky beads from breaking smaller, fragile beads and keeps the smaller beads from scratching the surface of the larger beads. It is always best, when possible, to store beads so that you can see what is in the container or have it well marked.
Excessive heat and sudden temperature changes may also fracture gems. Your attic or basement may not be the best place to keep your beads based on this.
