CARE & LONGEVITY
A little thoughtful care will help your jewellery look its best for longer.
This design contains brass and should be kept dry and worn only in fully healed piercings. Remove before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping.
Jewellery containing brass is best reserved for occasional wear. Remove it before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping to help protect the decorative finish.
Brass can react to water, sweat, perfume and lotions. Keep this piece dry and avoid contact with swimming pools, seawater, cleaning products and cosmetics.
Wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. If necessary, use a very lightly dampened cloth and dry immediately. Avoid soaking, abrasive cleaners and jewellery-polishing chemicals.
Avoid bleach, alcohol, abrasive cleaners and other harsh chemicals.
Store your jewellery somewhere clean and dry, ideally separately from other pieces to prevent scratches or tangling. The pouch provided with your order is perfect for keeping it protected.
Apply perfume, moisturiser and hairspray before putting on your jewellery. Avoid abrasive cloths, polishing treatments and prolonged exposure to chlorine or seawater.
Jewellery care is different from piercing aftercare. If your piercing is new, irritated or still healing, speak to a professional piercer before changing your jewellery.
