Taking care of your jewelry is an easy but forgetful thing to do. Probably no bead will last forever, but there are a few things you can do to extend the life of your jewelry.
Never get your beads wet. Taking a shower with your beaded jewelry on is not a good idea
Avoid storing your jewelry in a place that gets sunlight. The sunlight can fade some colors, especially during storage.
Always put on your jewelry after applying any creams or hairspray. Make-up lotions and skin acids can sometimes cause colors to change or wear off
After wearing your jewelry, wipe it with a soft cloth before putting it away, especially if you were hot and sweaty while wearing it.
