Beaded bracelets are playful, colorful, and endlessly versatile—an easy match for everything from everyday casual to dressy looks. Affordable and durable, they can be worn solo or stacked. They suit every age and gender, and popular styles feature name beads, meaningful words, or gemstones believed to carry healing energies. Everyone has their own favorite look, but the care that keeps beaded bracelets lasting is the same. These simple wear-and-care tips will help you get the most life out of your favorite arm candy!
- Never stretch your bracelet over your wrist—the elastic won’t last forever. Instead, gently roll it on and off your hand and avoid over-stretching.
- Keep bracelets away from lotions, perfume, hair spray, soap, other hair and skin products, sunscreen, salt water, and similar items. Over time these can break down the elastic.
- Keep your bracelets in a soft pouch when you’re not wearing them.
- Clean bracelets with a soft, damp cloth, then dry them right away with a soft cotton cloth. Avoid jewelry cleaners on gemstones—they can wear away the finish over time.
- Think about when and where you wear your beaded jewelry. Steer clear of extreme temperatures and harsh chemicals.
- Take off beaded jewelry before showering or swimming—chlorine can harm gemstones, gold, and other metals.
- Gold plated jewelry offers great value, but it tarnishes easily when exposed to anything that isn’t pH neutral. To keep its shine, always remove it before swimming, before activities that make you sweat heavily, and before applying lotion, makeup, or perfume.
- Store gold plated jewelry in a plastic bag. Squeeze all of the air out and seal tightly. The lack of oxygen will keep your gold plated jewelry bright and shiny. To avoid scratching, place one piece of jewelry per bag.
- After wearing, wipe gold plated jewelry with a soft cloth to clear away dirt and debris.
- Gold filled jewelry is much more durable and longer-lasting than gold plated, but it’s still best to follow the same care guidelines. Skip pools and hot tubs because of the chemicals, and limit contact with lotions, hair and skin products, sunscreens, and similar items to extend your jewelry’s life.
Give your beaded jewelry a little T.L.C., and it will stay a favorite fashion find for years to come!
