Can anyone tell me how to clean the thread on old/vintage beads? Have tried soaking in biological wash liquid.
I have bought several old necklaces on ebay.Lovely pieces but the original thread on some is very grubby.I know this adds to the character but I'd like to spruce them up a bit. I don't want to have them restrung.Not for resale, just for me to wear.
Google cleaning jewellery/old beads and see wha comes up. Otherwise rll them in talcum powder or bicarb soda.
Aren't you so lucky to have such lovely goodies to wear?
