A few gentle habits can help you care for handmade beaded jewelry. Start with the materials listed on your specific product page, because stone beads, plated components, letter beads, and cords can need different care.
Caring for plated details
Gold-plated and silver-plated components have a surface finish that can wear over time. Remove your bracelet before swimming, showering, exercising, or handling household cleaners. Let lotions, perfume, and other personal-care products dry before putting jewelry on.
Gentle cleaning
After wearing your bracelet, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive polishing products, harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and prolonged soaking unless the maker has confirmed that they are suitable for that exact piece.
Looking after beads and cords
Handle beaded bracelets gently. If a design uses stretch cord, roll it carefully over your hand instead of pulling it wide. Do not twist, tug, or use a bracelet to carry weight. Keep jewelry away from activities that could catch or strain it.
How to store your bracelets
Store pieces separately in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity. A soft pouch or a lined jewelry compartment can help prevent pieces from rubbing against one another. Allow jewelry to dry before putting it away.
