CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
For storage, hang earrings by their hooks or lay flat in a cool, dry place, preferably out of direct sunlight for extended periods of time. Tube earrings come with a carrying tin for protective storage on the go.
Do not wear your beads in hot tubs and pools or while sweating excessively. Remove jewelry before strenuous activities. Avoid submerging in water, unless performing a deep clean.
Minimize exposure to excessive makeup, sunscreen, perfume, lotion, hair products and sprays by allowing products to dry before wearing your beads. Wash hands with mild soap before handling beads and 14k gold filled hooks and findings.
In the case of gunk buildup, especially in the case of sunscreen, sweat and makeup exposure, you can submerge beads, hooks and all in a bowl of luke warm water and gently clean with an ultra soft tooth brush. Re-submerge in another bowl of clean warm water or rinse gently to thoroughly remove any soap. Hang to air dry if possible, if not lay flat on a towel. Make sure they are nice and dry before storing them.
Titanium never tarnishes but 14k gold filled jewelry, though able to last lifetimes untarnished, can become tarnished and discolored by exposure to the above listed environments: hot tubs and pools, sweat, chemicals in products and skin, abrasive cleaners containing bleach, nail polish remover, lotions (esp. scented lotions), etc. Wipe with a soft lens cloth or rinse hooks with warm water and gentle soap once a week (or even after each wear) to ensure your gold lasts lifetimes.
For long periods of storage, lay beads flat in a zipped ziplock bag in a cool, low humidity environment.
Beads are made from glass. To avoid breakage, do not expose them to excessive weight or pressure.
Slight changes in bead color are expected over time.
If bead work becomes damaged or in need of repair of any kind, or if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at hmanachia@gmail.com. All emails reach me directly.
