Glass is hard to break

Can glass jewelry withstand everyday wear and tear?

Absolutely, glass jewelry is designed to withstand everyday wear and tear. Thanks to the annealing process, lampwork beads are durable and can endure the rigors of daily use. However, like any jewelry, it's advisable to handle it with care to prevent accidental damage, such as dropping it on hard surfaces. With proper care, glass jewelry can remain beautiful and wearable for a long time.

Will glass jewelry shatter easily if it falls?

While accidents can happen, there is no need to worry while wearing glass jewelry. I recommend gentle handling. Avoid accidental drops on hard surfaces to ensure it remains beautiful and lasts for years.

Do glass beads fade over time?

Glass never fades and all colors stay always bright. Glass is colored by adding metal oxides or metal powders to molten glass. It is “stained” through the manufacturing process, not by coloring it afterwards.

Care instructions

Glass Jewelry Care:

To keep your glass jewelry looking its best, store it in a separate box and avoid accidental drops on hard surfaces, as this may lead to breakage. By treating your glass jewelry gently, you can ensure its lasting beauty for years to come.

Handle with care when taking on and off.

Silver Jewelry Care:

Sterling silver can tarnish due to its chemical properties when exposed to oxygen, salt, and moisture. This doesn't alter your piece permanently but may lead to discoloration.

Use the provided polishing cloth (included with all my silver jewelry) for safe and lasting cleaning.

Gently and thoroughly buff your jewelry to restore its perfect shine.

What materials are used in MPcrafts Art Jewelry?

I use only the highest quality durable materials to create my jewelry: Italian Murano glass, American high-quality glass, Dichroic glass, fine silver and fine gold. 925 Sterling Silver, Gold filled 14k, cubic zirconia, genuine gemstones, pearls.

Stainless Steel - in select designs, such as brooches.

Are your products hypoallergenic?

I use high-quality materials such as sterling silver and gold filled that come in direct contact with your skin. These materials are known for their hypoallergenic properties, making our jewelry suitable for individuals with sensitive skin.

For items like brooches that do not come in direct contact with the body, I use stainless steel, a durable and non-reactive material.

How do I care for and clean the jewelry?

Use a soft cloth to wipe away any dust, dirt or oils from your jewelry after wearing it. Store each piece separately in a jewelry box or pouch to prevent scratching and tangling. Consider using anti-tarnish cloth to prevent tarnishing, especially for silver jewelry.
