🧴 Care Instructions

• Avoid contact with harsh chemicals (perfume, lotion, chlorine) to preserve the hand-painted patterns and the cord’s rich colors.
• Gently wipe the bead with a soft, dry cloth for cleaning; never submerge in water or use liquid cleaners, as this may fade the hand-painted design.
• Store in a dry, cool jewelry box or soft fabric pouch away from direct sunlight to prevent paint fading and cord tangling.
• Handle with care—glass beads are fragile; avoid dropping or knocking against hard surfaces to prevent chipping.
• For the knotted cord: Spot-clean only with a damp cloth, then air-dry completely before wearing to maintain its rustic weave and prevent fraying.
