Aftercare instructions for your memorial jewellery
General handling
Treat your piece as a cherished keepsake. Avoid dropping or heavy impact.
Keep the piece dry where possible. Remove jewellery before swimming, bathing, or heavy housework.
Cleaning
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently polish the metal surface. A jewellery polishing cloth is ideal.
For more thorough cleaning, use warm water and mild, unscented soap. Rinse well and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, ultrasonic cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage delicate finishes or secure settings.
Care for pieces containing organic materials (ashes, hair, breast milk, fur)
Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or extreme humidity. Store in a dry place when not worn.
If the piece includes a sealed compartment, do not attempt to open it. Opening may compromise the seal and the integrity of the memorial contents.
If you notice any loosening of fittings or deterioration of a seal, contact me immediately for assessment and repair options.
Storage
Store jewellery in the original presentation box or a soft pouch to prevent scratches.
Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources to preserve any delicate finishes.
Repairs and maintenance
If your piece requires repair, contact me.
