CARE
Plexiglas jewelry
Plexiglas is a durable material and is not affected by water, sea, perfumes and creams. Such a piece of jewelry when it is "tied" with a thread cord will not show any damage when it comes in contact with the above elements, which makes it completely safe and durable when used especially during the summer. When it is "tied" with a chain, the metal elements will show sensitivity with its use and we avoid their contact with water and perfumes.
Wooden jewelry
Wood is a living material, which makes it sensitive and affected by prolonged use in water, sea, perfumes and creams. Regardless of its "binding", avoid contact with the above elements.
Jewelry made of plated brass or silver
Plating is a thin layer of precious metal (gold, platinum or silver) over silver or brass. To maintain it as long as possible, it needs care and attention. In no case can you avoid the wear of the plating paint, only to slow it down. To prolong the color of the jewelry plating it would be good to remove them when wearing perfumes, creams and when you have to come in contact with water. The color of the jewelry plating leaves depending on the friction, use and PH of the skin and leaves the silver or brass visible and is an inevitable process.
Silver oxidizes over time resulting in blackening. This process is due to its contact with the atmosphere and is reversible. You can get special cleaning fluids on the market and restore the original shine to your silver jewelry.
Caring for brass is very simple. Although it oxidizes faster than silver, it can easily return to its original luster. Brass cleaners can be found in various stores. But it can also be cleaned with products that exist in every home. Tomato acid, for example, contained in ketchup, polishes brass very well. Apply it with a toothbrush or a soft cloth and then rinse thoroughly.
SAFEKEEPING
To prolong the good condition of your jewelry, it would be good to store them in a velvet case, in a jewelry box or in the box you bought, thus avoiding contact with the atmosphere and the moisture that wears them out. Avoid placing them on top of each other, as there is a possibility that they may cause marks and scratches.
