Prevent edge chipping on diamond-cut rondelles and faceted pears
Handle on a soft mat, keep strands tied until the moment you string, and stage beads on low-tack tape or in lidded trays so facets never rub. Add tiny spacer beads or knots to separate rondelles, and use gentle wraps, caps, and wire guards for pears. Store coiled with tissue between layers. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush only.
