About the Accent Metals that are being used in your Earrings
OXIDIZED PEWTER — Some accent findings feature an oxidized antique silver-plated finish—a decorative technique that creates a darkened, vintage aesthetic. These nickel-free, lead-free zamac metal components are easy to care for: use rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab to refresh the finish and restore its vintage luster.
STAINLESS STEEL ear hooks and findings are hypoallergenic, nickel-free, and tarnish-resistant—perfect for sensitive ears and built to last a lifetime.

Bead Dangle Design uses high-quality Stainless Steel findings and sets every earring with industrial-strength Apoxie cement to ensure each piece is tarnish-resistant and water-resistant.

"Tired of that fuzzy, cloudy look on your favorite beads? As a designer committed to creating 'forever' jewelry, I’ve seen how easily a beautiful piece can be accidentally dulled by the wrong cleaner. I want you to know the exact, gentle method I use to keep my pieces looking brand-new. Forget harsh chemicals—it only takes two minutes and a touch of care."
I use these same cleaning methods for all of my Handmade One-of-a-kind Beaded Pendants to ensure they stay sparkling for years without damaging the delicate glass or stone.
-
Prep the Bath: Mix a few drops of mild dish soap (like Dawn) into a bowl of warm water. Avoid "ultra-strength" degreasers which can be too harsh for certain bead finishes.
-
Gentle Clean: Dip a soft, lint-free cloth into the soapy water and gently rub the jewelry. For intricate beadwork, you can use a very soft baby toothbrush to reach the crevices.
-
The Rinse: Rinse the jewelry in a second bowl of clean warm water or under a gentle stream of running water to remove all soap residue.
-
Dry Immediately: Never let your jewelry air-dry, as water spots can leave new "clouds" on your beads. Pat dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
-
The Finishing Touch: Use a professional jewelry polishing cloth to restore high luster to the metal components.
Professional Storage: Fighting Tarnish
-
Anti-Tarnish Strips/Tabs: These small pieces of treated paper absorb the sulfur compounds in the air that cause tarnish. Place one inside an airtight container (like a zip-top bag) with your jewelry. They typically last up to 12 months.
-
Anti-Tarnish Bags: These specialized, opaque zip-lock bags have anti-tarnish material embedded directly into the plastic, providing two layers of protection.
-
Anti-Tarnish Cloth: For larger collections, I recommend Pacific Silvercloth®. It's embedded with silver particles to absorb corrosive gases and can be purchased by the yard to line your own storage drawers.
Cleaning Your Stainless Steel Chains
Your 316L Stainless Steel Chain is the hero of your low-maintenance jewelry! Because it's designed to be strong as heck and naturally tarnish-free, it rarely needs deep cleaning.
If your chain looks dull from lotions or perfumes, simply wipe it with a soft cloth and soapy water, then pat dry. No scrubbing or special chemicals needed—it's truly built to be worn and loved daily.
