Spring Hues Heart Necklaces

Wood bead jewelry offers a unique natural beauty, but as a porous material, it needs specific care to stay looking its best. Wood can absorb moisture, oils, and other substances, which can affect its appearance and longevity. Wood also reacts to environmental changes, expanding and contracting with fluctuations in humidity and temperature, potentially leading to dullness, cracks, or discoloration.

Cleaning wood bead jewelry
To clean wood bead jewelry, you can gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid excessive water, which can cause damage. If it gets wet, pat it dry and air-dry completely, avoiding heat. For stubborn spots, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, but dry thoroughly afterwards. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Protecting and storing wood bead jewelry
Protect your wood bead jewelry by removing it before activities that involve water or chemicals. Store it away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures to prevent fading, warping, or cracking. Storing pieces separately in pouches or lined boxes can prevent scratches. To maintain the wood's appearance, you can occasionally apply a natural oil or wax. Allow jewelry to air out periodically to prevent moisture buildup.

Following these guidelines will help keep your wood bead jewelry beautiful.
