CARE GUIDE
We care for your jewelry!
In order for your jewelry to be everlasting, it’s important to give them the right care. Your jewelry should always be the last thing you put on, to prevent them getting in touch with soap, perfume, hairspray and other substances that can damage or tarnish the jewelry.
Always remove your jewelry before showering, or getting in contact with water for longer periods of time. Tarnishing or damage often happens when the jewelry is exposed to too much hand wash, soap, perfume, hairspray, saltwater etc.

PEARLS
Pearls are originally created in water and naturally absorb the liquid they get in contact with. The more pearls are worn, the more they come to life - wear them as often as possible to keep them alive.
Pearls absorb the oils and liquids from your skin and need moisture in order to maintain their natural glow. But because of the pearl’s ability to absorb, it’s also especially important that pearl jewelry isn't exposed to perfume, hairspray and other liquids which are damaging - always put your pearls on as the last thing. Avoid wearing your jewelry while you’re showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping.
If you notice your pearls have started fading and losing their glow, start wearing them more often, and the moisture from the body will give them back their shine.
Our pearl jewelry are strung on silk thread. Silk thread will stretch over time, leaving open gaps between the pearls. This is not a defect, but a sign of everyday use.
The best way to store pearls are flat, so the thread doesn't stretch. Store pearls in a jewelry box, so they are not exposed to direct sunlight as this will fade and damage the pearl.
How to clean your pearls
Dip a cotton cloth into pre-boiled, cold water, gently rinse each pearl with the cloth. Non perfumed soap can be added, if pearls are very dirty. Do not put the whole pearl string into water as this will stretch the string and the string might be difficult to dry.
