How should I care for my PrettyNBeadz waist beads?
These are gentle adornments and must be handled with care. I suggest no direct oils, lotions, or soap on the strands. Clean with a towel. You are able to swim and shower in the strands. Make sure that you are aware of your strands when undressing, and be gentle when putting them on.

Yes! Local pickup and delivery are available depending on your area . Details will be provided at checkout or through direct contact. It takes 10-15 business days to create and ship.
