Jewelry Care

Jewelry

Think about how you wear your jewelry.

A hand sewn piece of jewelry demands greater care than ordinary mass produced jewelry and accessories.

I only use the best materials in my jewelry but they will not hold for careless use.

Pearls and crystals that weighs down and tares by a big heavy coat for example will eventually cut off the thread that the jewellery is sewn with, the same thing will eventually happen if you rub and spin the pearls and crystals.

Wear your jewelry, don´t wear and tear it!

Notice that the piece of jewellery that are most exposed to wear is bracelets, be careful so that you don´t get a break between hand and wrist so that the bracelet gets damaged and breaks

Most of our findings are silver or gold plated or has another plating, pearls and crystals can have a so called coating around it

Common to these findings and crystals/pearls are that you should not rub to much when you clean them. 

The coating/plating will wear off much sooner if you do

Only use a damp cloth and dry off carefully.

Plated jewelry wears naturally but if you follow the care instructions you can delay it

Notice that skin lotion, hairspray, water and perfume damages your jewelry

Always take off your jewelry when you shower and make sure that the perfume has dryed before you put on your jewelry

Take off your jewelry when you work out. Sweat contains salt and makes your jewelry oxidize.

Don't sleep with your jewelry on. Keep them separated from other jewelry so that they don't get scratched

Storage: Please keep your jewelry in the jewelry box. Never store your jewelry in a damp place since it can accelerate the discoloration.

I hope you get much pleasure from your jewelry for many years!

Browbands and Dog collars

Treat the browband and dog collar as a fine piece of jewelry!

Don't fold it, don't rub or spin the pearls and crystals.

Pearls and crystals have sharp edges and even though the jewelry is securely sewn with the best thread it will not hold for careless use.

Every time you rub or spin on a pearl/crystal you also put a wear on the thread!

Your browband/dog collar is something extraordinary and that is why it demands a better handling. See it not only as a browband/dog collar, see it as the exclusive jewelry it actually is.

Handle it and keep it in the shape it has when you receive it, don't bend or twist and turn it any other way.

Don't fold it or pry it apart!

If you don't keep the browband on your bridle, store it in the box it arrived in.

Pearls/crystals and other findings are not made for animals but if you care for your jewellery browband/dog collar it works just fine to decorate your best friend.

It is likely though that plating and coating will not last as long as if you would wear the jewelry.

Use it, care for it and store the browband/dog collar the best way you know how and it will last for a long time
