How do I look after my necklace?

Keep it separate from other jewellery to avoid scratching or tangling, and remove it before swimming, showering, or exercising to help the hardware last. Natural beads will show subtle wear over time — that's just part of their character.

What lengths do you have available?

When purchasing a necklace you can choose from Short and Long. Short sits around the neck area and long hangs lower down the chest.
