Refrain from getting them wet, as they will last much longer
Keep them in a humid-free environment out of direct sunlight for safe keeping when not in use
Refrain from rubbing oils on them or scents which will cause the glass bead finishes to fade
Pack them separately when traveling to protect them (hard shell box preferred), your earrings will also come with a handmade pouch
If the beadwork has fringe, hanging them keeps the fringe from twisting
Take care while using purses/bags, to avoid fringe getting caught or pulled on
You can reshape as needed by laying the item on a flat surface and lightly pressing (avoid this on the fringe)

All items come beautifully wrapped with a handmade leather carrier for the protection and care of your beadwork. Pease let me know if you have any gift wrap preferences
