Jewelry Care instructions
Polymer Clay Care instructions
- Keep it dry: Remove jewelry before showering, swimming, bathing, or exercising.
- Avoid chemicals: Keep away from perfume, hairspray, lotions, makeup, hand sanitizer, cleaning products, and acetone/nail-polish remover.
- Handle gently: Polymer clay can bend or break if dropped, sharply twisted, or repeatedly stressed—especially thin pieces.
- Store carefully: Keep pieces in a cool, dry place, ideally in a jewelry box or soft pouch. Avoid storing heavy pieces on top of them.
- Clean gently: Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a tiny amount of mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly.
- Protect finishes: If your jewelry has a glossy coating, avoid abrasive cleaners and scrubbing, which can dull or scratch the surface.
- Avoid prolonged heat: Don't leave pieces in a hot car, direct sun, or near heaters. Excessive heat can soften or deform polymer clay.
- For earrings: When possible, hold the earring by its metal component rather than pulling on the clay itself.
- Stainless steel ear wires: Wipe the ear wires occasionally with a soft cloth to keep them clean and shiny. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Titanium ear posts: Titanium is durable and resistant to corrosion but gently wipe the posts and backs with a clean, soft cloth as needed. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners.
Important: Polymer clay itself is water-resistant once properly cured, but attached components, finishes, adhesives, and natural materials may not be. If your piece contains resin, fabric, wood, pearls, or delicate findings, give it extra protection from moisture.
Wood Jewelry Care Instructions
- Keep dry: Remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, bathing, or exercising. Avoid prolonged contact with water.
- Avoid chemicals: Keep away from perfume, hairspray, lotions, oils, hand sanitizer, and cleaning products, as these can affect the wood finish.
- Clean gently: Wipe the wood with a soft, dry cloth. If needed, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Do not soak or submerge.
- Protect the engraving: Avoid scrubbing the engraved area or using abrasive cleaners, which can wear down the finish and collect residue in the design.
- Avoid extreme temperatures: Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight, heaters, and hot cars. Excessive heat or humidity can cause wood to warp or crack.
- Store properly: Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture. A soft jewelry pouch or box is ideal.
- Handle with care: Wood is lightweight but can crack or break if bent, dropped, or caught on clothing.
- Stainless steel ear wires: Wipe the ear wires occasionally with a soft cloth to keep them clean and shiny. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Titanium ear posts: Titanium is durable and resistant to corrosion but gently wipe the posts and backs with a clean, soft cloth as needed. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners.
A little care goes a long way! With proper storage and gentle handling, your engraved wood jewelry can stay beautiful for years
Stainless Steel Engraved Jewelry Care Instructions
- Keep it dry: Remove jewelry before swimming, showering, bathing, or exercising to help preserve its finish and engraving.
- Avoid chemicals: Keep away from perfume, hairspray, lotions, oils, hand sanitizer, and household cleaning products.
- Clean gently: Wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth. For a deeper clean, use mild soap and lukewarm water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Protect the engraving: Avoid abrasive cleaners, rough cloths, and scrubbing directly over the engraved design, as these can dull or scratch the surface.
- Avoid prolonged heat: Keep jewelry away from hot cars, heaters, and prolonged direct sunlight.
- Store separately: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a soft pouch or jewelry box, to prevent scratches.
- Handle with care: Although stainless steel is durable, avoid bending, dropping, or exposing the piece to unnecessary impact.
With proper care, your stainless-steel jewelry can stay beautiful and your engraving crisp for a long time.
