Our handmade jewellery from Charm & Stone is crafted to endure, but it requires meticulous care to maintain its allure. By adhering to these care instructions, you can preserve the beauty and longevity of your cherished pieces.
General Care for Handmade Jewellery
To keep your craft jewellery in top condition, avoid exposure to liquids and chemicals such as perfume, lotions, hair products, household chemicals, seawater, and chlorine. Remove your jewellery before showering, exercising, or in humid environments. Store your jewellery in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight.
Waterproof Jewellery
While our handmade jewellery is waterproof and resistant to tarnish, it's still crucial to avoid chemical contact. Store each piece separately to prevent scratches. If your jewellery gets wet, gently wipe it with a clean cloth and let it air dry.
Stainless Steel Jewellery
Stainless steel is known for its durability, yet it still requires care to maintain its shine and longevity. Most cleaning products are safe for stainless steel, but always use a gentle cloth to avoid scratching the surface.
Sterling Silver Jewellery
Always store sterling silver jewellery separately to prevent scratches. Use a specific polishing cloth to gently polish your pieces and maintain their shine.
Gold and Silver Plated Jewellery
Gold and silver plated jewellery involves bonding a layer of precious metal over a base metal such as brass, silver, or steel. Although the plating is durable and can last several years, it is delicate. To clean plated items, gently polish them with a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid frequent use of jewellery cleaners, as they may contain chemicals that can wear down the plating over time. Instead, opt for a mild soap and water solution. Store plated jewellery separately to avoid scratches.
By following these straightforward guidelines, you can ensure that your handmade jewellery from Charm & Stone remains beautiful and durable. Proper care will allow you to enjoy your craft jewellery for many years to come.
