Jewelry Care Instructions
Amber Jewelry
Amber is a beautiful, natural material that deserves gentle care.
Over time, it may develop a soft golden patina—an elegant sign of its natural aging.
To care for your amber jewelry:
-
Avoid hard impacts:
Amber is relatively soft and can crack or chip if dropped or struck against hard surfaces. -
Protect from perfumes, soaps, and chlorine:
Chemicals can dull the surface or cause discoloration. Apply perfume before putting on your jewelry. -
Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and heat:
Excessive sunlight and high temperatures can dry out the amber and alter its color over time. -
Store separately in a soft pouch or jewelry box:
This prevents scratches from other harder jewelry, like metals or stones. -
Gently polish by hand if needed:
If the surface becomes dull, amber can be carefully polished with a soft cloth to restore its natural glow. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Silver Jewelry
Silver jewelry also requires mindful care to retain its beauty.
-
Store silver in airtight containers or cloth bags:
Exposure to air and moisture can cause tarnishing. Keeping it sealed slows down the natural oxidation process. -
Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soap solution:
Harsh chemicals can damage silver. Use a mild solution and dry thoroughly to prevent water stains. -
Wear your silver jewelry regularly:
Surprisingly, wearing silver often can help prevent tarnish, as natural skin oils can keep it bright.
Gold Jewelry
Although gold is more resistant, it still deserves careful handling.
-
Avoid scratches by storing gold pieces separately:
Gold is softer than many people realize and can be scratched if stored loosely with harder items. -
Clean with a mild soap solution and soft cloth:
Avoid chemical dips or abrasives, which can wear away the surface over time. -
Remove gold jewelry during sports, swimming, or cleaning:
To prevent accidental dents, loss, or exposure to harsh chemicals like chlorine.
Wooden Bowls & Decorative Pieces
Our handmade wooden items are crafted with care and attention to the natural characteristics of each piece of wood. To ensure their longevity:
-
Do not wash in a dishwasher:
The heat and moisture can cause the wood to crack, warp, or lose its finish. -
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately:
For cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth—never soak in water. -
Avoid direct sunlight and high humidity:
This prevents the wood from drying out or expanding unevenly. -
Apply a natural oil occasionally:
To nourish and protect the wood, you can use food-safe mineral oil or beeswax as needed.
