A message from the maker..

The necklaces are created using a leather stitching cord- what leather workers use for their craft- so it has to be nigh on indestructible. The crystals are set in a specialised adhesive that forms an unbreakable bond, and should never break down with continuous wear. I've worn my own necklaces for years on end, without removing, and they've stood the test of time!

Some crystals shouldn't be exposed to water, like malachite or softer gems, as the polished surface will become dull or cloudy, but the bindings won't degrade in water so if your crystal is water safe, it can be worn without removing.

The necklace part is waxed which will wear away in time. It helps lock the wooden bead that holds the pendant at the desired length- as they're adjustable in length. If the bead starts slipping as the wax wears away you can either tie a simple overhand knot behind the bead (which comes undone remarkably easily) or re-wax your necklace with beeswax.
