Your everyday ritual.
Put your necklace on after perfume, cosmetics, and skincare have dried. Take it off before bathing, swimming, exercise, or sleep. Keep it away from hard knocks and sudden temperature changes.
Clean gently.
Use a soft, lightly dampened cloth to wipe the beads, then dry them. Avoid soaking strung necklaces. Do not use bleach, abrasive polish, steam, or ultrasonic cleaners unless a qualified jeweler has confirmed they are safe for your specific piece.
Give it its own space.
Store a strand flat in a soft-lined pouch, away from harder stones and metal jewelry. Avoid hanging it for extended periods, which may strain its thread.
Check the little things.
Before wearing, check the clasp, knots, and string for wear. If you notice fraying or looseness, stop wearing the necklace and ask a jeweler about restringing. Care should always follow the verified materials of your final piece.
