How to Care for Your Jewellery

 

At Dew Rosa London, every piece is lovingly handcrafted from UV resin, combined with carefully chosen findings in stainless steel, sterling silver, or gold-filled finishes. Our jewellery is dainty and delicate in appearance, yet made to last with the right care.

To help your jewellery keep its beauty, please follow the guidelines below.

UV Resin Jewellery

Resin is at the heart of all our designs. It allows us to capture delicate details and create a smooth, glossy finish. While strong and lightweight, resin needs gentle care to stay clear and beautiful.

Care Tips:

• Avoid Prolonged Sunlight: Continuous exposure to direct UV rays can cause resin to yellow over time. Store your jewellery in a shaded jewellery box or pouch when not in use.

• Keep Away from Heat: Resin can soften if exposed to very high heat. Please avoid leaving your jewellery in hot cars, saunas, or near direct heat sources.

• Clean Gently: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then dry immediately. Do not soak resin jewellery in water.

• Avoid Chemicals: Keep away from perfumes, alcohol-based sprays, cleaning products, and solvents, as these can dull or damage the surface.

• Prevent Scratches: Resin is durable but can still scratch. Store separately from sharp objects or harder jewellery to avoid marks.

• Handle With Care: Resin may chip if dropped on hard surfaces, so take care when putting it on or removing it.

Stainless Steel Findings

Stainless steel is durable, tarnish-resistant, and designed to hold up well with everyday wear. It’s the most low-maintenance of our metal findings, but still benefits from regular care.

Care Tips:

• Clean Regularly: Wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and dirt.

• Soap and Water: For deeper cleaning, soak briefly in warm water with mild soap, then rinse and dry thoroughly.

• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Keep away from bleach, ammonia, or chlorine, which may damage the finish.

• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use steel wool, abrasive sponges, or harsh cleaners that could scratch the surface.

• Remove Before Heavy Activities: Take off your jewellery before swimming, hot tubs, or intense exercise.

• Perfumes and Lotions: Apply products before wearing your jewellery to reduce residue.

• Polishing: A stainless steel cloth or specialist cleaner may be used if your findings appear dull.

Sterling Silver Findings

Sterling silver has a timeless beauty but may tarnish naturally when exposed to air or moisture. With proper care, it will stay radiant and elegant.

Care Tips:

• Wear Often: The natural oils in your skin can help slow tarnishing.

• Store Carefully: Keep in a cool, dry place, ideally in an airtight pouch or box. Anti-tarnish strips or charcoal pouches can also help.

• Keep It Dry: Avoid wearing silver when showering, swimming, or exercising.

• Avoid Chemicals: Household cleaners, chlorine, and perfumes can tarnish or damage silver.

• Remove Before Sleeping: Helps to prevent unnecessary wear or bending.

• Polish Gently: Use a silver polishing cloth to restore shine. Avoid abrasive rubbing.

• Professional Cleaning: For heavily tarnished or intricate pieces, consider professional polishing.

Gold-Filled Findings

Gold-filled findings are more durable than gold plating and, with care, can last for many years without tarnishing.

Care Tips:

• Avoid Chemicals: Perfume, lotions, and household cleaning products can damage the gold surface.

• Store Safely: Keep in a soft pouch or jewellery box to avoid scratches.

• Keep Dry: Remove before swimming, bathing, or exercising.

• Clean Gently: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth to maintain shine. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishing intended for silver.

• Remove Before Sleeping: Prevents unnecessary stress on delicate chains or clasps.

With these simple care habits, your Dew Rosa London jewellery will remain as radiant and meaningful as the day it was made.
