Is there a way to keep the color on my beaded necklace from rubbing off on my skin?
I bought a really pretty necklace from my local farmer's market a few weeks ago, and I was excited to wear it. It's got big chunky dark blue beads - they're pretty solid and heavy and look like they're made out of some sort of stone, as opposed to glass or plastic or whatever. However, within a few hours of wearing it, my neck is blue. I've worn it on 3 occasions, and each time I get a blue neck. It wipes off easily with a damp cloth, but I'd like to prevent it from happening in the first place.
Any idea why this is happening? And how I can prevent it? In the past, I've tried the clear nail polish on cheap jewelry trick, and it just doesn't work. Within a few hours it's all worn off, flaked away, and looks worse than it did before. So, any other suggestions?
