How do I care for my Backstory design?
ViewMy jewelry is hand-made from tiny glass beads and thread or Fireline. As any other piece of valued jewelry, it requires special care.
Please store your beadwoven items in a dry place that is protected from direct sunlight. I stitch only high quality materials in my creations; however, many types of seed beads can tarnish, change, or even lose their color if stored in high moisture, heat or sunlight. Those conditions may also damage the thread, making it brittle. A soft pouch will prevent seed beads, crystals and gems in your woven items from chipping and scratching. Avoid dropping or tossing your beadwoven jewelry onto hard surfaces.
Never expose beadwoven jewelry to water, perfume or any other chemicals (including soap and other detergents, crèmes, lotions, disinfectants, etc.). Do not wear it when doing dishes, taking showers or swimming, and make sure to take it off before going to bed.
Please follow these recommendations for care of your jewelry and it will prove to be very durable. When properly cared for, beadwoven jewelry will serve you for many years to come.
