How to maintain beeswax bracelets

Beeswax bracelets are a very beautiful and elegant piece of jewelry. Nowadays, many women no longer wear large amounts of gold and silver jewelry, but instead wear some jewelry that looks elegant and tasteful, such as beeswax bracelets. Beeswax bracelets are very sensitive to temperature. High temperature may even cause them to melt, so the maintenance of beeswax bracelets is very important. So, how should we maintain the beeswax bracelet?

How to maintain beeswax bracelets

1. Beeswax is also an organic jewelry and is afraid of high temperatures and large temperature changes. Therefore, do not place it in the sun or near a heater for a long time. High temperature will soften the beeswax, causing the surface to melt and become sticky.

2. The hardness of the beeswax bracelet is extremely low, with a Mohs hardness of only 2-3, which is only slightly harder than fingernails. So try not to put it together with other high hardness gems to avoid being scratched by other high hardness gems.

3. Honey wax bracelets should not come into contact with other organic solutions, such as alcohol, gasoline, perfume, cosmetics, etc. In addition, honey wax bracelets can easily crack due to dehydration, so they should be oiled or played with frequently to prevent dehydration (it is recommended that you use olive oil).

4. Each piece of beeswax is an activated jewel with different spirituality. The best way to maintain it is to wear it often. The sweat will nourish the beeswax, and it will become moist and transparent, rich in changes, with delicate texture and warm to the touch.

Precautions for maintenance of beeswax bracelets

1. Try not to keep beeswax in a high temperature environment for a long time. The melting point of beeswax is very low. If it is stored in a high temperature environment for a long time, it will dissolve.

2. Try not to keep beeswax in a dry environment for a long time. In addition to being not resistant to high temperatures, beeswax is also very afraid of drying out, because in a dry environment, beeswax will easily dry and crack.

3. Store beeswax separately as much as possible. Many people like to put all the jewellery together and keep it together, including beeswax. In fact, this is a wrong practice. The hardness of beeswax is very low, and if it is placed together with other jewelry with high hardness, it will easily leave scratches.

4. Avoid contact between beeswax and chemical solvents as much as possible. Beeswax is an organic gem. It will produce a chemical reaction when it comes into contact with chemicals such as alcohol, cosmetics, gasoline, etc., and in severe cases it may be dissolved.

Tips for playing with beeswax bracelets

Many collectors mostly play with beeswax bracelets. They will use the tips of their fingers to slowly knead and rub the beeswax, and then polish it bit by bit with their palms and fingers until the surface is smooth. However, some collectors have found that the bracelet will inevitably become sticky and astringent during the polishing process. In fact, in this case, the solution is very simple. You only need to use colorless baby care oil to gently and evenly apply it on the surface of the bracelet. It is enough to play with it for a day.

It's not just beeswax. As mentioned above, beeswax is a type of amber. When amber is played with for a period of time, it will feel greasy, but it is not because of oiling. This means that there is oily mud on the outer surface of the amber. This is a protective layer. Don't try to remove it or anything. Just leave it for two days. After the surface is dry, continue to play with it. Over time, the amber will become more lustrous and attractive.
