Lampwork beads are made from glass, although each bead has been annealed, it is still a glass bead, and can break if improperly handled, dropped or hit against something hard.

 

Always keep jewellery separate to avoid scratching

 

Handle cable necklaces with extra care to avoid kinking.

Silver is a soft metal and prone to wear and tear so careful handling is recommended particularly when storing or transporting the pieces.

 
Special care should also be taken with fine gemstone cuts which are delicate and may shatter if dropped.

 

Avoid products such as hair spray, perfume, make-up etc which can also accelerate tarnishing and may affect the look of your jewellery.

Avoid direct sunlight to reduce the chances of fading and keep jewellery from getting wet.

 

Clean using a good quality silver cloth which can also be used on beads and pearls.  

 

Avoid wearing jewellery with leather components in the shower or when swimming as this will affect the look of your jewllery
