How to care for my Bead Studio NOLA jewelry?

💚 Keep It Dry

The fastest way to tarnish your jewelry is by contact with moisture and liquids. This includes putting on lotions, washing your hands, a spritz of perfume, and sweating with your jewels on. Even the oils on your skin can wear down the plating and metals over time - and this will again vary from person to person. Your jewelry should also not be worn in chlorine or salt waters. 

 

💚 Store It Properly

Exposure to the simplest things like the moisture in the air can wear down your jewelry, so it's important to store it properly. When not in use, try to keep your jewelry protected from the sun and safe from scratches and chips.

​

 💚 Give It A Break

As much as you may love your jewelry, it's not meant to be worn 24/7. Put your jewelry in rotation and give your favorite pieces a break from everything that literally wants to "break them down". 

​

💚 Cleaning 

If your jewelry becomes tarnished, it's best to use common household products as traditional jewelry cleaners are too harsh. Surprisingly you can try baking soda and toothpaste to clean. There's tons of YouTube videos on the subject as well.
