Resin Jewellery Care Instructions
Resin jewellery is pretty hard-wearing but to get the best out of your pieces and ensure they last a lifetime please try to adhere to the following advice. This will keep your pieces looking their best…
Sunlight
Store your jewellery out of direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the resin to discolour and soften.
Chemicals
Avoid exposing your jewellery to harsh chemicals and cleaning products. This includes antibacterial hand sanitiser, perfume, hair spray, cleaning solutions, nail polish remover, chlorine etc.
Scrapes
Try to avoid bumping and scratching your piece as this could damage. Avoid using tools and doing manual work with the piece on.
Water
Do NOT submerge your jewellery pieces in water. Resin is NOT waterproof, only water resistant. So please remember to remove your jewellery before showers, swimming, washing up etc.
Heat
If your piece is exposed to big temperature fluctuations, it might expand and contract and cause the elements inside to separate.
Smoking
If your piece is in regular contact with smoke there is a strong risk of yellowing.
When Resin Jewellery Care Has Been Forgotten
If your piece suffers damage or wear please get in touch and we will give you a price based on photos. We ask clients to retain your elements such as cremation ashes and hair because it makes a remake possible when needed. If you haven’t retained the elements, we may be able to do a repair, but can’t guarantee results.
Yellowing
Yellowing is almost always due to resin care. It may be possible to remove and re-coat the top layer, depending on the damage.
