Hi, The best way to clean your bracelet is to take all the charms off. Certain ones like muranos shouldn't be soaked in liquid as it can make the glue or whatever they use to separate from the core. It shows mostly with the light glass. Other pieces like pearls shouldn't be soaked. You are better to spread your charms over the 3 sections when they are the older heavier type. Especially with a new bracelet. I would encourage you to have a safety chain or at least a clip on the end to protect your charms. I enjoyed watching your video. I'm sure you will wear your bracelet alot more now that it's beautiful and clean. Have a wonderful week.
