FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  1. How do I take care of stainless steel jewelry?

Most of our jewelry is made of stainless steel – one of the most durable metals, that resists corrosion and oxidation, as well as being hypoallergenic. Stainless steel does not fade. It is durable and is near scratch proof. However, over time it may lose its shine or collect some dirt residue. Good news is that restoring stainless steel jewelry is easy and it can be done right at home.

  • Soap and Water

The simplest way to clean your stainless steel jewelry is with a bit of soap and water when it's dull and dirty. This helps clean off any pollutants and grime on your jewelry. Remember to please use a mild liquid soup and warm water. 

Soak the stainless jewelry in a bowl containing a mixture of mild soap and warm water and let sit for a few minutes. Next, take a soft cloth and rub the jewelry. For hard to reach areas, like grooves or engravings, you can use a soft-bristled toothbrush that will ensure you reach those hard to get places. Once you've thoroughly cleaned off your jewelry, reassure you've dried your piece with another lint-free cloth to remove all possibilities of water spots.

  • Baking Soda

Believe it or not, baking soda is a great cleaner for stainless steel jewelry. Making a thick paste of baking soda mixed with water, use a toothbrush to slowly clean your jewelry. Once you've cleaned it thoroughly take a lint-cloth to dry your piece an ensure it's completely dry. (YouTube has many videos that show how to do this).

2. Can I shower with Air Dry Clay jewelry?

I finish each air dry clay piece with water resistant varnish, so it is safe to wear in humid environments or during rain, but it is not water proof, so I highly recommend removing your air dry clay piece before entering shower or sea/swimming pool!

If your air dry clay piece of jewelry got stained, you can gently clean it with soft slightly wet cloth or wet wipes. However, I would be careful of the cleaning chemical elements that the wet wipes contain – sometimes they are quite aggressive and may cause some discolouring.  After cleaning it, make sure to dry it well with a paper towel or napkin.

3. Can I wash hand drawn zipper pouches?

A great virtue of our hand drawn zipper pouches is that it is totally washable. I use high quality fabric paint or markers and an extra layer of water resistant varnish spray that protects the surface from discolouring.  If you would like to wash your zipper pouch, I highly recommend to do it by hand. Just use warm, not hot, water and some soap/liquid detergent and leave it to dry. You can also iron it, just place an extra sheet of fabric under your iron to protect the colour of the bag. You can also use hand-washing or 30° gentle washing program on your laundry machine. Do not tumble dry!
