Care and Cleansing
A SIMPLE GUIDE TO LIVING WITH THE WORK — AND KEEPING IT IN GOOD FORM
To live with something is to care for it.
These pieces are made to be worn.
They respond to touch, movement, and the environments they pass through.
Care is simple. Rhythm over rules.
Daily Wear
PUT JEWELRY ON LAST. TAKE IT OFF FIRST.
Let stone and metal avoid:
perfume and hair products
lotions and sunscreen
Chlorine, saltwater, and cleaning agents
Remove pieces before:
swimming or bathing
exercise or heavy activity
housework involving chemicals
Ongoing Care
CLEANING
Most pieces need very little.
For regular care: wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wearing
When needed: use a soft cloth with mild soap and cool water; wipe gently; dry fully before storing.
Keep it light. Avoid soaking, especially for porous or delicate stones.
STORAGE
Give each piece its own place.
A soft pouch. A lined box. A quiet drawer.
Store separately to protect surfaces and prevent tangling.
Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight.
TRAVEL
Travel shifts temperature, humidity, and friction.
When packing: use individual pouches;
separate strands to prevent knotting;
carry on when possible
refresh + repair
Strands and hardware may need attention over time.
If you’d like a refresh, repair, or re-stringing, reach out.
