Product

Most of our Metal Beads come with an "e-Coating" applied to avoid tarnishing and prevent plating rubbing off. Metals react with the environment through a natural process of oxidization that occurs when exposed to sulfides in the air. This process will affect most metal beads and plated beads in the same manner. Some prefer the antiqued or oxidized appearance that results from environmental reactions. Those who
prefer the natural unoxidized appearance can apply a coating of Urethane Spray ( we recommend Rustoleum Crystal Clear Enamel Spray ) to beads before their use in jewelry. To remove the oxidation or tarnish, we recommend a jewelry grade "Tarnish Removal Solution" on the metal beads only. If the beads are in a finished piece of jewelry then a
solution may ruin the finish of a gemstone, a coral, or a pearl. Store your metal beads with an "anti-Tarnish" pouch or anti-tarnish strip to diminish the oxidation. 

Pearls and Opals thrive when worn because they absorb the natural oils and moisture from your skin! However, a rule of thumb is "Last On, First Off" when dressing to avoid chemicals or string damage. Store pearls and opals in a non-airtight soft fabric pouch
to avoid drying out and exterior damage. Clean by gently rubbing each bead using a slightly damp, soft cloth to remove debris such as perfume, makeup, or perspiration. Be sure to completely dry the strand before storing to avoid thread deterioration. When cared and stored properly, pearls and opals will retain their beauty and luster providing
you with heirloom quality organic beads. 

Gemstones are formed over a long period of time resulting in layers that are more visible in certain types of stones. This can cause gemstone beads to appear cracked or broken, when it is just the natural make up of the stone and does not impact the integrity of the stone. 

Our Beads offer a myriad of different hole sizing. Our Standard Gemstone and Pearl Beads will have a hole with an inside diameter ranging from 0.5mm to 0.8mm depending on the cut and size of the bead. Hand Cut or Native Cut Beads will have more variance in hole sizing since they are drilled by hand using a pointy drill. Our Micro Faceted gemstone collection are cut and drilled using a machine and typically have a drill hole closer to 0.8mm. Items drilled with a larger than average inside diameter hole will be labeled in the description with the hole size.
