Advice
Jewelry Care
Handmade jewelry is crafted to last a lifetime — with a little care, it will stay beautiful for years to come.
Storage
Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or the original box. Avoid tangling necklaces by fastening the clasp before storing. Keep away from direct sunlight and damp environments.
Moisture & Water
Remove jewelry before showering, swimming, bathing, or doing dishes. Prolonged exposure to water — especially chlorinated or salt water — can accelerate tarnishing and damage natural stones.
Chemicals
Perfume, hairspray, lotions, and cleaning products can tarnish metal and damage stones. Always put jewelry on last — after your beauty routine is complete.
Heat & Light
Prolonged exposure to strong sunlight or heat can fade certain natural stones and affect adhesive settings. Take off jewelry before sunbathing or using a sauna.
Cleaning
Polish silver jewelry gently with a soft jewelry cloth to restore shine. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated silver-cleaning solution. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for pieces with natural stones.
Daily Wear
Remove jewelry before exercise, heavy household work, or gardening. Physical impact and sweat can dull finishes and loosen settings over time.
Material Guide
Sterling Silver (Ag 925)
Sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time due to exposure to air and moisture. Regular wear actually slows tarnishing — the oils in your skin keep it polished. Store in an airtight pouch when not in use, and polish with a silver cloth to restore brightness.
Gold-Plated & Gold-Filled
Avoid contact with harsh chemicals and abrasives. The gold layer can wear away over time, especially with frequent contact with skin. Pat dry after any moisture contact and store separately.
Natural Stones & Crystals
Natural stones can be sensitive to chemicals, sudden temperature changes, and prolonged sunlight. Clean gently with a damp soft cloth — never soak or use ultrasonic cleaners. Some stones (e.g. opals, turquoise) are especially porous and need extra care.
Macramé & Textile Elements
Keep dry — do not submerge. If the cord gets dirty, spot-clean with a damp cloth. Avoid stretching or pulling the knotwork. Store flat or loosely coiled to maintain the shape.
