Jewelry care and usage recommendations

Handmade jewelry is made from precious metals and porcelain. These materials are durable, but their surfaces can be affected by environmental factors, chemicals, and mechanical impact. Proper care helps to preserve the aesthetics of the piece for longer.

Daily use

It is recommended to remove jewelry before:

• bathing in the shower, pool or sea

• while exercising

• while doing household chores

• using cosmetics, perfume, or hairspray

Chlorine, salt, cosmetics and household chemicals can affect the metal surface and accelerate the oxidation of silver. Also, during active activities, the jewelry can experience mechanical shock.

Why does silver darken?

Silver naturally reacts with sulfur compounds in the air and can oxidize over time, causing the surface to darken. This is a normal characteristic of the metal and is not considered a defect in the product.

The oxidation of silver can be accelerated by:

• sweat

• cosmetics and perfumes

• household chemicals

• chlorinated water

• humid environment

Such reactions are natural chemical properties of silver.

Porcelain details

Porcelain is a ceramic material fired at high temperatures, the structure of which becomes glassy and very hard.

Due to this structure, porcelain is very strong and durable. However, like glass or natural stone, it is not resistant to strong impacts - if subjected to strong mechanical impact, a porcelain piece may crack or shatter.

Therefore, it is recommended to protect jewelry with porcelain elements from falls or impacts.

Jewelry storage

It is recommended to store jewelry:

• in a dry place

• separately from each other

• in a jewelry box or soft case

This avoids surface scratching and unnecessary oxidation effects.
