Jewelry care

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Each piece of jewelry is carefully crafted by hand in our studio. We use high-quality materials for jewelry that will last if handled and maintained with reasonable care.

We recommend putting your jewelry on before applying moisturizers or fragrances. Avoid exposing your jewelry to wet or moist conditions.

When you aren’t wearing your jewelry, store it in a cloth pouch separate from other jewelry to avoid tangling and to limit abrasion with other materials. 

Do not hang as the beads will weigh down,after a while. 

Metal cord is durable though not indestructible. Like a well-worn pair of jeans or a favorite tee, you may find your jewelry take on a new coloration and will wear over time if not used properly. Take your jewelry off when you shower, swim, and handle chores around your home to help maintain the color and the condition of the beads. Wearing your jewelry thoughtfully and not just continuously through all moments of your life will allow your piece to last for many years.

How to care for tassels -  Take time to comb and smooth the tassel with your fingers after each wear. This will help prevent the individual strands from getting matted or tangled over time.

Take care with storing your layers and seed bead pieces. These seed beads are made to be delicate and are particularly fine. Placing any heavy objects on top of your jewelry may crush these small beads. When you store your piece, we recommend leaving the clasp unhooked and letting the piece take the natural shape that it falls into. Avoid contorting the piece.

 

TIPS FOR JEWELRY STORAGE
For a simple way to organize all of your jewels and to save space, store your jewelry in small re-closeable cloth pouches so you can keep pieces separate. If you'd like to see what’s inside, we suggest Ziploc pouches (Although, we don't encourage this!)

REPAIRS
At some point you may find your well-worn piece of jewelry in need of repair. We encourage you to reach out to handle a repair as opposed to discarding your jewelry and buying a new piece. We charge a small fee for repairs and are happy to offer repairs on any piece from Ans Collections
