Black Widow Necklace Care

Your necklace is a miniature preservation chamber and wearable curiosity cabinet combined. Treat it like both jewelry and a tiny museum specimen to keep it clear, secure, and wearable for years.

Handling & Storage:

• Keep hanging upright, to prevent leaking.
• Remove before sleeping, exercising, or any activity where it could be bumped. 
• When not wearing, keep in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Heat and UV rays can discolor both fluid and specimen.

Liquid Care:

• The preservation fluid level should always cover the specimen.
• If you notice evaporation, leaking, or a drop in liquid level, contact me. I do repairs and refills free of charge!
• If needed, clean with a cloth dampened with water only.
• Avoid cleaning with alcohol or chemical cleaners as it can deteriorate the seals.
• Never submerge the entire necklace.

Liquid Refill:

• If your necklace needs to be refilled or topped off, you will need 70% isopropyl alcohol, a syringe, and pliers. 70% isopropyl alcohol can be found at any local drugstore.
• Carefully use the pliers to twist open the metal top. See picture below. DO NOT grab and twist from the jump ring at the top. You will either open/break the jump ring, or crack a seal.
• Use the syringe to carefully refill the necklace until the level reaches just underneath the threads.
• Screw the top back on and tighten.

Safety Notes:

• This is a preserved specimen, not a toy. Keep away from children and pets.

Need restoration or refilling? I can safely reseal, refill, or stabilize your necklace without disturbing the spider inside its tiny glass universe - free of charge!
