How to maintain honey wax hand string
1. Beeswax also belongs to organic jewelry, which is afraid of high temperature and large variation of temperature difference. So don't put it in the sun or near the heater for a long time. Too high temperature will make the wax soft, causing the appearance to melt and become sticky.
2. The hardness of honey wax hand string is very low, the Mohs hardness is only 2-3, only a little harder than the nail. So try not to put it with other high hardness gemstones to prevent being scratched by other high hardness gemstones.
3, honey hand string can not touch other organic solvents, such as alcohol, gasoline, perfume, cosmetics and so on. In addition, the honey wax string is easy to dry and crack due to dehydration, so you should often use oil or play to prevent its dehydration (it is recommended that you use olive oil).

Notes on the maintenance of honey wax hand string
1. Try not to put the wax in a high temperature environment for a long time. The melting point of beeswax is very low. If it is stored in high temperature environment for a long time, it will produce the phenomenon of dissolution.
2. Try not to put the wax in a dry environment for a long time. In addition to not resistant to high temperature, honey wax is also very afraid of drying, because in a dry environment, honey wax can easily produce dry cracks.
3. Store wax separately as far as possible. Many people like to say that many jewels are put in one place and preserved together, including honey wax, which is actually a wrong way. The hardness of honey wax is very low. If it is put together with other high hardness jewelry, it is easy to leave scratches.
4. Try to avoid contact between wax and chemical solvent. Beeswax is a kind of organic gemstone. It will produce chemical reaction after contacting with alcohol, cosmetics, gasoline and other chemicals. In serious cases, it may be dissolved.
