At AMIAS & Co., we craft each piece with love and attention to detail. To ensure that your jewelry remains as beautiful as the day you received it, we’ve put together this care guide for you.
General Care Tips
-
Avoid Exposure to Harsh Chemicals: Keep your jewelry away from lotions, perfumes, cleaning agents, and hairsprays, as these chemicals can damage the delicate materials. It’s best to put on your jewelry after applying any lotions or sprays to avoid direct contact.
-
Store Properly: Store your pieces in a cool, dry place, preferably in a soft pouch or jewelry box. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods, as this may cause discoloration, especially with clay or fabrics.
-
Clean Regularly: Gently clean your jewelry with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dirt or oils that may have accumulated. For more thorough cleaning, use a damp cloth (preferably with water only) to wipe down the pieces. Make sure the pieces are completely dry before storing them.
Clay Jewelry Care
Our clay jewelry are made from high-quality polymer clay, which is lightweight and durable but can be sensitive to pressure or impact. To keep your clay pieces looking their best:
-
Avoid Dropping or Crushing: Polymer clay is tough, but it can crack or chip if dropped on hard surfaces.
-
Keep Away from Water: While polymer clay is water-resistant, prolonged exposure to water (like submerging it or wearing it in the shower) can cause damage over time. Remove your clay jewelry before swimming, showering, or washing your hands.
-
Handle Gently: Though lightweight, clay pieces can become misshapen if handled roughly. Be mindful when wearing them to avoid bending or altering their shape.
Freshwater Pearl Jewelry Care
Freshwater pearls are timeless and stunning but require gentle care. Here’s how to keep your pearls looking radiant:
-
Clean with Care: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe pearls after each wear. Avoid using any abrasive materials that could scratch the surface of the pearl.
-
Avoid Moisture: Pearls can absorb moisture, which can affect their lustrous shine. It’s important to avoid wearing them in water (swimming, bathing, etc.) and to keep them away from perfumes and lotions.
-
Store Safely: Store your pearls separately from other jewelry to avoid scratches. A soft cloth pouch or a lined jewelry box works well.
Fabric Jewelry Care
The fabric elements of our jewelry are sustainably sourced and hand-picked to bring a unique touch to each piece. To care for the fabric:
-
Spot Clean Only: Avoid submerging fabric jewelry in water. If it gets dirty, gently spot clean it with a damp cloth and let it air dry.
-
Avoid Friction: Be mindful of rubbing the fabric against rough surfaces, as it could cause wear or fraying.
-
Store with Care: Keep your fabric jewelry in a cool, dry place and avoid exposure to direct sunlight for long periods, as this could lead to fading or deterioration of the fabric.
Specific Recommendations for Each Type of Jewelry
-
Necklaces: When storing necklaces, keep them hung to prevent tangling. If you’re traveling, consider using a small jewelry pouch to avoid any kinks or bends.
-
Earrings: Be extra cautious with earrings, especially those with delicate clay or fabric components. Always ensure the posts or hooks are secure before wearing.
-
Bracelets & Rings: These pieces can be more exposed to wear and tear, so avoid wearing them while engaging in physical activities (like sports or heavy lifting).
