* Extended wear and prolonged exposure
to some materials may have an adverse affect on the enameling.
* It is important to remember that
the enamel coating can be cracked or scratched with abusive measures.
* As a decorative element in jewelry,
enameled beaded chain is designed to withstand normal wear. It is not designed,
however, to withstand around the clock wear for an extended period of time,
nor is it designed to be worn while bathing.
* Repeated exposure to soapy water,
seawater, some tanning preparations and some lacquer-based hair sprays will
eventually undermine the enamel. A day at the beach with the salt water, tanning
oil and sand would not be good for this product.
* Constant wear also increases the
chances of scraping, running the risk of damaging the finish.
* In rare instances, extreme skin
pH values (alkaline or acidic) can impact the enamel.
