Glass Beads

Glass beads are small decorative elements obtained from molten glass, available in endless shapes, colors, and finishes. Used for making necklaces, bracelets, and other accessories, glass beads are materially robust but require attention to the mounting thread — often made of silk, nylon, or cotton — which represents the accessory's most vulnerable point. The chemicals found in cosmetics and perfumes are the main enemies of glass luster.

Care and Maintenance of Glass Beads

Cleaning

Slightly damp soft cloth. For deep cleaning: lukewarm water with a drop of neutral detergent, rinse and dry thoroughly.

Drying

Carefully dry the junctions: standing water weakens the thread over time, especially if it is silk or cotton.

Storage

Store separately to avoid scratching between beads. Glass surfaces can chip if knocked.

Treatment

Avoid perfumes, hairsprays, and creams: chemicals dull the beads and deteriorate the thread.

Inspection

Periodically check the integrity of the thread, especially at the knots. At the first sign of weakening, have it re-knotted.

⚠️ Warning: Only wear the accessory after applying perfumes and cosmetics, not before. Chemical residues accumulate on the beads and reduce their luster over time.

Additional Instructions

Silk Thread: If the thread is silk (as in Seta accessories), avoid any contact with water: wet silk weakens and deforms easily.

Bath and Sport: Always remove accessories before swimming, playing sports, or entering a sauna.

Re-knotting: A thread in good condition is essential for the safety of the accessory. Have the knots checked every 12–18 months by a craftsman.
