Care Tips for Hand-Made Jewelry ✨

Keep Your Creations Shining Bright!

You’ve poured your heart into crafting stunning jewelry with Too Cute Beads kits—now let’s keep those masterpieces sparkling! Designed by owner Karen Woodson, our kits feature premium materials like Swarovski crystals, .925 sterling silver, 14K gold-filled components, natural gemstones, and Murano glass, so a little TLC goes a long way. Follow these easy tips to preserve the brilliance of your bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and suncatchers for years to come!

🌟 Essential Care Tips for Your Jewelry

• Storage Magic 🪄: Store your pieces in an airtight bag or anti-tarnish pouch to prevent tarnishing, especially for sterling silver and gold-filled items. Keep them separate to avoid scratches on crystals or gemstones.
• Gentle Cleaning ✨: Wipe with a soft microfiber cloth to remove dirt. For silver, use a mild silver cleaner sparingly—avoid harsh chemicals that could dull Swarovski crystals or Murano glass.
• Avoid Water 💧: Remove jewelry before swimming, washing dishes, or showering. Water can weaken elastic cords (like Beadalon) or damage delicate materials.
• Protect from Scratches 🛡️: Avoid contact with rough surfaces or other jewelry. Use a jewelry box with compartments to keep your creations safe.
• Steer Clear of Chemicals 🚫: Skip perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products—especially near gemstones and crystals—which can cause fading or discoloration.
• Seasonal Checkups 🎄: For holiday kits (e.g., Christmas Contour), inspect clasps and threads yearly to ensure they’re secure, especially after festive wear.

These tips work for all your Too Cute Beads projects, from the Crystal Clarity Necklace to the Murano Cube Bracelet—keeping that handmade magic alive!

💎 Pro Tips for Long-Lasting Shine

• Travel Smart 🌍: Use a small padded case for your jewelry when on the go, protecting those delicate Swarovski crystals and sterling silver findings.
• Re-String When Needed 🔧: If elastic cords stretch out, re-thread with new Beadalon from our shop for a fresh fit.
• Spot Clean Holiday Pieces 🎅: For Christmas kits, gently clean with a damp cloth after festive events to remove glitter or residue.

Your creations deserve to shine as brightly as the day you made them—crafted with love using Too Cute Beads materials!
