Jewelry Care Guide – How to Care for Waist Beads

Caring for Your Waist Beads

Waist beads are delicate pieces of jewelry that require gentle care to maintain their beauty and longevity. Follow these simple guidelines to keep your waist beads looking their best.

Daily Care

  • Avoid getting your waist beads wet when possible
  • Remove before swimming, bathing, or exercising
  • Keep away from lotions, oils, and perfumes
  • Handle gently to prevent breaking the string

Cleaning Your Waist Beads

  • Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the beads
  • For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap
  • Dry completely before wearing
  • Never soak or submerge in water

Storage

  • Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight
  • Lay flat or hang to prevent tangling
  • Keep separate from other jewelry to avoid scratching
  • Use a soft pouch or jewelry box for protection

When to Replace

Check your waist beads regularly for signs of wear. Replace if you notice:

  • Fraying or weakening of the string
  • Loose or missing beads
  • Discoloration that cannot be cleaned
  • Any damage that affects the integrity of the piece

With proper care, your waist beads will remain a beautiful and meaningful part of your jewelry collection for years to come.
