Waistbeads Care Instructions

  • Ilekedi waistbeads are handcrafted with a variety of materials: gemstones, glass beads, crystals, semi-precious stones and metal accents.
  • You can bathe, exercise and swim with your waistbeads and chains on.
  • To keep your beads at their most shiny, take them off before bathing.
  • Ilekedi uses the highest quality beading wire and thread to string, However, excessive or repeated force over time will cause your waistbeads to break.
  • Be conscious of your waistbeads when removing your clothes and using the toilet.
  • Always pull up your beads first, then pull down your pants.
  • This will keep you from pulling on them which can cause them to break.
  • If you use any exfoliating or brightening soaps, it is recommended that you take off your beads before bathing.
  • Avoid putting creams, oils or perfumes directly on your waistbeads.
  • Metal Accents are non tarnish and nickel free but over time, they may become dull due to sweat and soap build up. Restore their shine by cleaning with a jewelry polishing cloth.
  • Keep all bracelets from water and moisture and should not be worn in the shower. We are not responsible for replacing discolored items after use.
