Jewellery Care Instructions for Delicate Handmade Pieces

1. Handle with Care:

• Gently handle your delicate handmade jewellery to avoid unnecessary stress on the components. Avoid pulling or tugging on delicate chains and intricate details.

2. Keep Away from Chemicals:

• Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, perfumes, and cosmetics. Chemicals can react with metals and gemstones, leading to discolouration and damage. Put on your jewellery after applying makeup and perfume.

3. Store Properly:

• Store your delicate pieces in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Use a jewellery box or pouch to prevent scratches and tangles. Consider keeping individual pieces in separate compartments.

4. Remove Before Activities:

• Remove your delicate jewellery before engaging in activities such as swimming, exercising, or household chores. Prolonged exposure to sweat and chemicals can affect the integrity of the materials.

5. Clean with Care:

• Clean your delicate jewellery gently using a soft, lint-free cloth. For more intricate pieces, use a soft brush to reach crevices. Avoid using harsh cleaners or ultrasonic cleaners, as they may damage delicate details.

6. Be Mindful of Gemstones:

• If your jewellery features gemstones, be mindful of their specific care requirements. Some gemstones may require special attention. Refer to individual gemstone care guidelines for detailed instructions.

7. Regular Inspections:

• Regularly inspect your delicate handmade jewelry for loose stones, clasps, or any signs of wear. If you notice any issues, address them promptly to prevent further damage.

8. Professional Cleaning:

• Periodically, take your delicate jewellery to a professional jeweller for a thorough cleaning and inspection. Professionals can ensure that clasps are secure, stones are set properly, and the overall condition of the piece is maintained.

9. Avoid High Impact:

• Delicate jewellery may not withstand high-impact activities. Avoid wearing your delicate pieces during activities where they may be subjected to excessive force.

10. Handle with Clean Hands:

• Always handle your jewellery with clean hands. Remove your jewellery before applying lotions or hand creams to prevent residue buildup.

Remember, each piece of handmade jewellery is unique, and these care instructions serve as general guidelines. If your jewellery includes specific materials or gemstones, it's advisable to refer to any additional care instructions provided by the jeweller or designer. Following these care guidelines will help preserve the beauty and craftsmanship of your delicate handmade jewellery for years to come.
