Care Guide

Durability

  • Opalite Glass Beads (Faceted): Durable and resistant to chipping but can lose their polished surface if exposed to abrasive materials. Handle gently to maintain their soft glow.
  • Miyuki Glass Beads (Round): High-quality and wear-resistant, though they may scratch with rough handling.
  • Nylon Cord (Fishing Line, 0.2mm)*: Strong and moisture-resistant, suitable for long-term wear, but avoid excessive pulling or bending.
  • Gold-Plated Copper Wire (Earrings): Attractive but prone to tarnishing if exposed to moisture, sweat, or chemicals.
  • PVD-Plated Stainless Steel Hooks and Clasps: Durable, tarnish-resistant, and ideal for regular use.

Suitability

This set is versatile and elegant, ideal for various occasions:

  • Casual Wear: Durable enough for occasional use but avoid water or harsh environments to preserve the beads and gold-plated wire.
  • Daily Wear: Hypoallergenic stainless steel and nylon cord make this set comfortable for regular wear, though the gold-plated wire may tarnish with frequent exposure to moisture.
  • Special Occasions: The ethereal glow of faceted opalite glass beads and golden accents makes this set perfect for formal events. Handle gently to retain their brilliance.

Storage

  • Store in the provided box or hermetic bag to protect from dust, moisture, and scratches.
  • Keep separate from other jewelry to avoid tangling or surface damage to beads and gold plating.

Cleaning

  • Wipe beads and metal components with a soft, dry cloth after wear to remove oils or dust.
  • For gold-plated copper wire, use a dry or specially treated jewelry cloth. Avoid water and harsh cleaning agents.
  • Do not use abrasive or chemical cleaners on the beads or plated elements.

Additional Tips

  • Avoid contact with perfumes, hairsprays, and household cleaners to prevent tarnishing or surface damage.
  • Protect the nylon cord from excessive bending or tension to ensure longevity.
  • Handle faceted opalite glass beads gently to maintain their glowing finish and polish.

*Nylon Cord Care: Avoiding Deformation

When storing jewelry with nylon cord, avoid crumpling or storing the piece in a way that prevents it from laying flat or hanging. Excessive pressure or bending can deform the cord. To restore the shape:

  • Flat Storage: Store the necklace or bracelet flat in its provided box or pouch, ensuring it isn’t tightly packed or crumpled.
  • Hanging: If possible, hang the jewelry from a hook or peg to maintain the natural shape of the cord.
  • Restoring Shape: If deformation occurs, gently stretch the cord by hand, or carefully run the piece under warm (not hot) water and lay it flat to dry. Avoid using high heat as it may damage the nylon material.
