Frequently asked questions
Discover how to best care for your Sweetgrass Beading treasures. From everyday wear to occasional cleaning, we've got you covered with advice to ensure your jewelry remains as stunning as the day you received it.
What's the best way to keep my beaded jewelry looking new and lasting a long time?
My beaded jewelry features just that -- glass beads! To ensure longevity, always avoid strong impacts, as glass can break. Also, steer clear of heavy solvents, which can damage the beads and stringing materials.
If a piece needs a little sprucing up, what's a simple tip to help clean it or make it shine again?
For a quick refresh, simply polish your beaded jewelry with a clean, soft cloth. This will help remove any dust or oils and restore its natural shine.
Are there any things I should definitely avoid doing or exposing my jewelry to so it doesn't get damaged?
While the glass beads I use are surprisingly resilient (I've even dropped mine on numerous occasions without issue!), it's always best to be gentle. Avoid harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
How often should I clean my beaded jewelry?
The frequency depends on how often you wear your jewelry. For frequently worn items, a quick polish with a clean cloth every few weeks is beneficial. Less worn pieces can be cleaned as needed.
