Deco Paper Bead Earrings

Proper care for rolled paper bead jewelry involves keeping it dry, handling it gently, and storing it properly to ensure longevity.

Everyday Wear & Precautions
• Keep it dry: While sealed paper beads are often water-resistant, they are not waterproof. Always remove your jewelry before bathing, swimming, or engaging in activities that cause excessive sweating. Trapping heat and moisture can encourage damage or even mold growth.
• Avoid chemicals: Put on your paper bead jewelry after you have applied all cosmetics, perfumes, hair sprays, and lotions. Harsh chemicals can cause serious damage or discoloration to the beads and any accompanying metal or stringing materials.
• Handle with care: Treat your jewelry gently to avoid dropping it, which could cause glass beads to chip or break.
• Remove before sleep or exercise: Take off your jewelry before sleeping or exercising to prevent damage from stretching, tangling, or excessive movement.

Cleaning & Maintenance
• Gentle cleaning: If the beads need a refresh, gently wipe them with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth.
• No harsh cleaners: Avoid using chemical cleaners, alcohol, or soap directly on the paper beads.
• Polish metal accents: If your jewelry has metal components, such as clasps or charms, polish them with a cloth designed for cleaning metals to prevent tarnish.

Storage
• Store in a cool, dry place: Keep your jewelry away from moisture and extreme temperatures.
• Store separately and flat: To prevent tangling, bending, and pressure damage, store each piece separately in a jewelry box, pouch, or with enough space to lay flat.
• Avoid direct sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the colors of the beads to fade.
