We know our products inside and out; we know that they develop a patina and age beautifully over time. Therefore, we offer advice on how to maintain the shine of your jewelry so you can wear it whenever you like.
1. Why is caring for your personalized jewelry essential?
Caring for your personalized jewelry is essential as it helps preserve its shine and beauty: regular maintenance will keep your personalized jewelry sparkling over time, preventing your favorite pieces from tarnishing.
Talisma jewelry is more than just an accessory: it tells a story, captures memories, and reflects a personality. Caring for your jewelry:
-
It's about honoring craftsmanship and the quality of materials, like stainless steel.
-
It's about preserving their brilliance and sentimental value, so that each piece of jewelry remains as beautiful as the first day.
-
This guarantees durability, ensuring that your jewelry remains timeless and is passed down through generations.
The first step to take is to clean your jewelry regularly with:
-
A soft cloth : Use a dry microfiber or cotton cloth to gently wipe the surface of the jewelry. This removes dust, fingerprints, and everyday dirt. The microfiber cloth will also prevent leaving marks or scratches on the jewelry.
-
Warm soapy water : For a deeper clean, mix a little mild soap with warm water. Lightly dampen a clean cloth and rub gently. Avoid completely submerging the jewelry.
-
Immediate drying : After wet cleaning, dry your jewelry completely with a dry cloth to avoid any traces of water or residual moisture.
Products to avoid for cleaning: Never use abrasive cleaners, hard brushes or harsh chemicals, which could scratch the surface or damage decorative elements.
2) It is also essential to protect your jewelry from external elements.
Avoid exposure to chemicals (perfume) :
Remove your jewelry, whether it's a bangle bracelet or a tree of life necklace , before handling chemicals that could tarnish it.
Delicate creations like the initial necklace in Arabic calligraphy require gentle handling
Protect your jewelry from moisture, as it can cause rust. It's also a good idea to remove your personalized jewelry occasionally, as frequent wear can damage it.
3. Appropriate Storage
Use lined jewelry boxes: Store your individually engraved jewelry in velvet-lined boxes to prevent rubbing and scratching.
Separate the jewelry : Necklaces, rings and bracelets should be stored separately to prevent them from damaging each other.
Avoid direct sunlight : Prolonged exposure to sunlight may cause slight discoloration of the resin or inclusions, especially with brighter colors. Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
