Caring for Your Beaded Jewelry

How do I take care of my beaded jewelry?

Our jewelry has the potential to last a very long time, but this greatly depends on how it is cared for. Below are some recommendations.

• Avoid getting your beaded jewelry wet in the shower or pool.
• Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for long periods of time because the bead colors can eventually fade.
• Avoid direct contact with lotions, perfumes and other beauty products that can contain harsh chemicals that may damage the beads. We recommend applying your favorite beauty products before putting on your Mayana jewelry.
• Store your beaded jewelry separately from other accessories. We recommend storing them flat and even using the original earring card until you are ready to wear them.
• Brass components can dull and/or tarnish over time. Fortunately, brass is incredibly resilient and cleans up beautifully with a quick rub with a polishing cloth designed to polish metals. Some people actually prefer the look of the tarnished brass, so it is a personal decision if you decide to shine them.
• We recommend using the small silicone backings for the ear wire earrings because they can easily fall out especially when wearing sweaters or scarves, and we would hate for you to lose an earring.
