Resin is an incredible material which, when looked after in the right way can last a lifetime. However, it is important to look after your jewellery... treat it as a fine piece.

What to avoid

Avoid exposing your jewellery to harsh chemicals and cleaning products. This includes perfume, hair spray, cleaning solutions, nail polish remover, antibacterial hand sanitiser etc. Solvents will react with the epoxy and cause it to become scaly, yellow, chip or break down completely. Also avoid any sharp or abrasive items which could potentially scratch the surface of the resin.

Cleaning your Jewellery

I recommend using a mild soap and water for cleaning your resin jewellery and dry with a soft lint free or chamois cloth.

 

Removing Tarnish

Sterling Silver will naturally tarnish over time with because of oxygen and water exposure, as well as your own personal skin chemistry. You can use a polishing pad or cloth to remove tarnish, or a tarnish removing product, but be sure to avoid the resin setting when using these items as they can damage the resin.

Conclusion

Overall, the treatment of your jewellery from the commissioning, to presentation and to wearing it should be filled with respect, joy and love.

I do everything in my power to exemplify these things in the setting of each and every piece; using the highest-grade materials for both the casting of the jewellery and creation of the setting.

While the utmost care is taken when creating each piece to avoid discoloration, scratching and tarnishing, once the jewellery given to its new owner, it is up to them to see to its care. Please, feel free to wear your jewellery every day but treat it as the fine, custom, precious piece it is.

I hope the above information will help you to keep your jewellery looking new and bright throughout all of life’s wonders.
