Your jewelry featuring natural sodalite and sparkling frosted glitter glass beads combines the beauty of a natural gemstone with the delicate appeal of specialized glass. Proper care will help preserve its appearance and integrity.
Sodalite bead care
Sodalite is a beautiful blue mineral, but it's relatively soft (5.5-6 on the Mohs scale) and contains sodium, making it somewhat delicate, says Sagacia Jewelry and.
Handling:
• Be gentle to avoid chipping or scratching.
Cleaning:
Wipe regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. If needed, use a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and warm water solution, avoiding harsh detergents or chemicals. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
Water exposure:
• Avoid soaking sodalite and remove before swimming or showering as prolonged exposure to moisture can cause damage or weakening.
Avoid chemicals:
• Keep away from harsh chemicals, perfumes, lotions, and hairspray.
Heat & sunlight:
• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can fade its color.
Frosted glitter glass bead care
Frosted glitter glass beads add a sparkle, but the glitter finish might be susceptible to wear and damage.
Handling:
• Handle gently to prevent chipping or scratching the glass or dislodging the glitter finish.
Cleaning:
• Gently wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth or a very soft brush, says http://www.ibeadcanada.com and. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the surface or remove the glitter finish. If using a damp cloth, ensure it's barely damp and dry thoroughly afterward.
Avoid chemicals:
• Protect the beads from chemicals in cosmetics, cleaners, and other substances to preserve the finish.
Minimize Water Exposure:
• While glass is generally water-resistant, it's best to avoid prolonged soaking to protect the stringing material and ensure the glitter finish remains intact.
Storage:
• Store in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box in a cool, dry place to prevent scratches and tangling.
General care recommendations
Put jewelry on last:
• Always apply cosmetics, perfumes, and hairspray before putting on your jewelry.
Remove before certain activities:

Proper Storage:
• Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or a lined jewelry box to prevent scratches and tangling.
Regular Inspection:
