Preciosa Czech glass beads
 

To keep your Preciosa Beads looking their best, follow these guidelines: 

​

General care

  • Handle gently: avoid dropping or exposing Preciosa beads to excessive force, which could chip or scratch them.

  • Keep them dry: water can damage thread and certain bead finishes, so remove beaded jewelry before showering, swimming, or washing your hands.

  • Avoid chemicals: chemicals in perfumes, hairspray, cosmetics, and cleaning supplies can affect bead finishes. Apply these products before putting on your jewelry.

  • Prevent excessive friction: repeated rubbing can wear away finishes and coatings.

  • Store properly: when not wearing your jewelry, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep beads in their original packaging or use storage pots with compartments to prevent scratches and chips, separating different colors, sizes, and shapes.

  • Regularly wipe down: after each wear, gently wipe your beads with a soft, dry cloth to remove oils, dirt, or perspiration.​

 

Cleaning Preciosa beads

  • Glass and crystal beads: clean with a soft cloth dampened with a mild dish soap solution and lukewarm water, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Do not immerse the pieces in water. Rinse with clear water and pat dry with a soft cloth.

  • Silver lining: silver lining can be sensitive to sulfur, acid, and chlorine, so avoid exposing these beads to such substances.

  • Dyed beads with finishes: while some finishes are designed to be fade-resistant and washable, it's generally best to handwash items with special finishes in lukewarm water with mild detergent.

  • For tougher grime or tarnish (on metal findings, not beads): you can use solutions like baking soda and water or a mild jewelry cleaner. Be cautious and test a small, inconspicuous area first. 

 

Additional tips

  • Check the bead's properties: different types of beads (e.g., glass, gemstone, metallic finishes) may have different care requirements. Refer to manufacturer's instructions or specific bead type information if available.

  • Be mindful of the stringing material: when cleaning strung beads, ensure the thread or wire dries completely to prevent deterioration.

  • Consider sealants: for metallic or galvanized seed beads, a sealant or fixative may help protect the finish against wear, fading, and tarnishing. â€‹

 

By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your Preciosa beads retain their sparkle and beauty for years to come.
