Cleaning Tips for Silver Cores on Trollbeads and Pandora Style Beads

Red Polka Dots - Made for Trollbeads or Pandora Style

It's Spring Cleaning Time!

I wanted to pass on a little cleaning tip that I've found works wonderfully for cleaning the silver cores of our Pandora or Trollbeads style glass beads. This also works great on any beads that are solid sterling silver or solid gold. We always use a Jeweler's Rouge Polishing Cloth on all of our silver cores in our glass beads.

And before each glass charm is packaged, I give it one last polish before it is mailed. These cloths are an excellent cleaning tool and can often be found at your local jeweler. I do caution using them though on any area of silver that has been decoratively antiqued, as it may remove some of the dark decorative details. They also work well on polishing our Eagle Bay Designs' gold spacers.

To clean the glass on your Pandora or Trollbeads style glass charm, just take a little mild soap in water and use a cloth to wipe it clean. It will work wonderfully!

If you're curious about the Red Polka Dots bead above, it is available right now at Eagle Bay Designs. (www.EagleBayDesigns.com) This is one of our new Made to Order glass charms. It can be made in either the Trollbeads style or the Pandora style. It's your choice!
