How to Care for Handmade Jewellery and Accessories
Caring for your handmade jewellery properly is the key to ensuring it lasts longer than you do and sadly we most often get questions about product care when it’s too late. It’s pretty much common sense but to help everyone out a little, we’ve prepared some articles on the best ways to look after your collection of hand-crafted accessories.
Common to all handmade accessories is the need to keep your pieces away from perfume and hairspray – the chemicals in these products have the potential to damage and discolour your items. Always apply perfume and hairspray before putting your fashion accessories on to reduce the exposure to these checmicals.
Most hand-crafted accessories should also be kept away from heat sources (such as heaters) in winter and chlorinated or salt water in summer.
