Handmade jewelry holds a special place in our hearts, representing the passion and love infused into each piece.

In this blog, we will provide a summary of essential care tips for your handmade jewelry, featuring 22k gold plating over hypoallergenic nickel-free metal. Let's explore the world of pearls, enamel, gemstones, and mirror finishes and discover how to keep them looking their best.

  • Gentle Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the jewelry after each use. This helps remove dirt, oils, and sweat that may have accumulated.
  • Avoid Water and Chemicals: It's important to keep your handmade jewelry away from water, as prolonged exposure can lead to tarnishing or damage. Remove your jewelry before swimming, showering, or engaging in activities that involve water. Additionally, avoid exposing your jewelry to chemicals such as perfumes, lotions, or hairsprays, as they can dull the gold plating
  • Storage: Proper storage is crucial to prevent tangling, scratching, or other forms of damage. Store each piece of jewelry individually in a soft pouch or a jewelry box with separate compartments. This will help protect the delicate gold plating and prevent any unwanted interactions with other jewelry pieces.
