Today I will tell you about the care of jewelry.

Many ornaments are quite unpretentious, but there are still rules for wearing and storing, which will help to preserve their original beauty as long as possible

✅ PROTECT FROM MOISTURE

Like any other base metal, the jewelry alloy has the property of gradually oxidizing and darkening, and the varnish on the wood - cracking and tarnishing from regular contact with liquids. Take off the decoration before washing your hands or taking a shower, in front of the pool and sauna. If it accidentally gets wet, immediately wipe it with a paper napkin and leave it to dry in the air

PROTECT FROM FALLS

Pendants made of glass and metal are difficult to break. It's all about a special technology that hermetically glues the glass part with the metal part. Glass is simply not capable of falling out, cracking or breaking (in 6 years of making such jewelry, I do not know of a single case). However, when falling from a height on such hard surfaces as asphalt or stone, small glass chips, scratches on metal and breakage of fasteners are possible. Some brittle minerals, such as sugar quartz or fluorite, break easily on impact. When you take off the jewelry, try not to throw it in a hurry

✅WIPE

It is recommended to periodically wipe the metal parts with a soft cloth (suede, flannel). The glass parts can be cleaned with cotton wool soaked with alcohol (if the glass is not painted)

✅ KEEP AWAY FROM OIL AND ALCOHOL

Many natural stones do not require much care. But some minerals, such as turquoise and chrysocolla, have a porous structure that absorbs fats and darkens. Avoid wearing jewelry immediately after applying cream or oil to the skin. Alcohol can also spoil jewelry, so it is recommended to apply perfume beforehand

✅ STORE JEWELRY SEPARATELY

Jewelry and costume jewelry should always be kept separately. The jewelry itself is also better stored by category: metal, glass, wood, stones. This will help to avoid oxidation and scratches

Caskets are suitable for metal, glass and ceramic jewelry. Stones and wood can be stored in bags
