How to Care for Glow Jewelry: Charge, Clean & Store Luminous Bracelets

Why Firework Glass needs special care

Firework Glass is artisanal, handblown, and packed with phosphorescent pigment — that’s what makes it glow and feel magical. But the glow and finish last longest when you treat these pieces with a little intention: correct charging, gentle cleaning, and smart storage.

How do I charge my glow bracelet quickly?

For a rapid, high-intensity charge, use the NOGU Ultraviolet Light. A 30–60 second blast gives a vivid glow. If you don’t have a UV light, hold your bracelet under a bright lamp for 3–5 minutes or place it in direct sunlight for up to 10 minutes.

Tip: charge before you head out — the strongest phosphorescence comes from a fresh charge.

How long does the glow last?

Bright initial glow lasts for several hours and then softens through the night. With consistent care and proper charging, the beads maintain their phosphorescent performance over years.

How should I clean Firework Glass and sterling/vermeil accents?

Keep it simple: wipe beads gently with a soft microfiber cloth and a drop of mild soap on water for sticky residue. Avoid abrasive cleaners or toothpaste which can dull the glass and remove vermeil plating.

For the , remove any lotions before charging — oils can reduce glow intensity.

Can I wear my glow bracelet in water?

Good news: NOGU Firework Glass bracelets are waterproof, thanks to sealed beads and quality findings. Still, we advise removing vermeil pieces for hot tubs and chlorinated pools to protect the plating.

Best storage habits to keep the glow vibrant

Store bracelets flat in their mini box or in a soft pouch, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Keep vermeil pieces separated from sterling silver to avoid scratches and chemical reactions from moisture.

How should I charge multiple bracelets at once?

Lay them flat in a single layer and use a UV light or strong lamp. Overlapping can shade beads and reduce charge. For best results, rotate bracelets under the light so each bead receives direct exposure.

Want longer-lasting glow? Use the UV light and charge in short bursts rather than one long exposure — it helps the pigment absorb more evenly.

Final care checklist

- Charge with UV for best glow. - Wipe beads with a soft cloth; avoid abrasives. - Store flat in a pouch or box. - Remove vermeil in hot tubs/chemicals. - Keep away from lotions before charging.
