Cleaning stone beads

  • Immerse stones beads in warm, soapy water and scrub them gently with a soap brush. Then rinse the beads and place them on a soft towel to dry.
  • Most stone beads can be ultrasonic cleaned as well. Please note: beads that are dyed or organic (amber, bone, coral, ivory, opal pearls or turquoise, for example) can be damaged if cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner. Also, dyed stones should not be steam-cleaned.

To maintenance semiprecious stones in perfect conditions

  • Avoid perfumes, colognes; make up powders, cosmetics, hair spray, body oil, heat, and other substances that may cause damage to stones.
  • Rub gems with a smooth, soft cloth to remove fingerprints and keep them shiny.
  • Store stones away from intense heat and light.
  • Try to apply all these products before you wear the jewelry.
