Taking Care of your jewelry
Here comes some simple points to consider:
- Use your mala necklace / bracelet for both meditation and as a beautiful accessory.
- Do not carry your mala in water.
- Do not carry your mala/necklace in bed.
- Do not carry your mala when physical activity of a very high intensity, including yoga. Place your mala on top of your yoga mat so that it can remind you of your intention while you exercise.
- Skin lotions and oils (and excessive sweat) can break down natural materials. Please do not subject your grind to these conditions.
- Components in sterling silver may need to be polished from time to time to keep them shiny. A dry polishing cloth works to gently polish your silver.
- Silk thread tassels should be stored hanging or carefully placed on top of your pile of mala beads. If your silk gets a bit ruffled, you can simply wet your fingers and gently run them through the threads. This should remove wrinkles and refresh your tassel.
- Bracelets should be gently rolled on and off the wrist. Avoid pulling on the elastic, as it may weaken over time.
