My handmade jewelry and cigarrette smoke?

17 Mar, 2010 crystal jewelry making

I make handmade jewelry - mostly beaded works (beadweaving with seed beads & crystals) which sometimes have sterling silver clasps.

I’d like to sell my jewelry but have a concern.

The thing is…..I smoke and am concerned of the jewelry smelling like smoke. (of course I don’t smell anything because I am a smoker)

Any tips on how to remove cigarrette smoke smell out of my jewelry? (keep in mind they are beads, crystals, nylon thread,, and sometimes sterling silver clasps)

You can cover your items with coffee in a paper lined container. Both will absorb the odors.

If you sell your items you will need new and uncontaminated packaging items because many buyers are allergic or offended by smoke odors. Also, many people, like myself cannot inhale many perfumes or other odors. So odor free is the way to go.

Also use a little windex on the silver to take the nicotine off. It won’t harm your thread or other beads.

Maybe you should do your beadwork somewhere that you don’t smoke, and keep it away from places that you smoke in. You could also try putting it in a box with some essential oils dropped in it, though that might only cover up the smell rather than make it go away.
