Caring for your pieces.
General Care
Always put your jewelry on after applying perfume, lotion, and hair products. These substances can dull finishes and weaken stringing over time.
Remove jewelry before swimming, showering, exercising, or sleeping. Prolonged exposure to water and sweat can affect both metals and natural stones.
After each wear, gently wipe your piece with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and restore its natural shine.
Pearl Jewelry
Pearls are organic gems and a little extra care goes a long way. They are softer than most stones, so store them separately to avoid scratches from harder materials.
Keep pearls away from household chemicals, chlorine, vinegar, and acidic substances. Even hairspray can dull their luster over time.
A soft, damp cloth is all you need to clean pearl jewelry. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemical solutions.
With regular wear, pearls can develop an even deeper, more beautiful luster — this is natural and one of the things that makes them so special.
Beaded Jewelry
Natural stone beads like agate, jasper, turquoise, and onyx can chip if dropped on hard surfaces. Handle them gently, especially when putting them on and taking them off.
Avoid wearing beaded pieces during activities where they could snag, stretch, or take impact. The stringing wire is strong, but prevention is the best protection.
Store beaded bracelets flat rather than hanging to maintain their shape and prevent unnecessary tension on the wire.
Eyewear Chains
Eyewear chains see daily use, so a little routine care keeps them looking great. Wipe the chain and beads with a soft cloth at the end of each day.
When not in use, lay your chain flat or drape it loosely rather than coiling it tightly. This prevents kinks and keeps the chain flowing smoothly.
Check the rubber eyeglass grips periodically. If they begin to loosen or wear, contact Lisa for free replacements.
Storage
Store each piece in its own soft pouch or a separate compartment of a jewelry box. This prevents tangling and keeps harder pieces from scratching softer ones.
Keep jewelry in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Prolonged sun exposure can fade certain natural stones and weaken elastic components.
The gift packaging your piece arrived in makes a perfect storage solution — it was designed to protect your jewelry between wears.
