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?

    Don't wear PLASTIC or painted wood beads, glass beads DON'T do that.

    Take it back, don't buy from that vendor anymore, I don't care if they're handmade or if you like them, they're JUNK!

    That vendor is taking you all for a ride, and is ripping people OFF.

    Source(s): I'm a vendor and I only USE GLASS beads. I only sell good quality products and I make everything hand-made.

    sparkling nail polish/ sparkling glue/ or sparkling spray paint. you will could desire to do reagularly (say according to annum or so) no matter what you utilize, the assumption is that the coating is rubing off rather of your letters on the beads.
