Ask the Experts Cleaning Cat's Eye Beads Q&A

Do you know of a way to clean cat's eye beads?

- Robyn

Mild soap and warm water are the recommended way to clean cat's eye beads, including gemstone cat's eye quartz beads as well as brightly colored glass cat's eye beads and glass cat's eye cabochons. 

Some styles of cat's eye glass may not be permanently dyed and may bleed or lose color when washed. Be sure to test a small, hidden area of the jewelry or strand first.
