Resin Jewellery Care & Tips
How to Care for UV and Epoxy Resin Jewellery so It Always Looks Stunning
If you love UV resin or epoxy resin jewellery, you probably want it to keep its gorgeous shine and colour for as long as possible. Without the right care, resin jewellery can quickly lose its sparkle or turn yellow. Fortunately, a few simple tips will help you enjoy it for years!
Always Take off Resin Jewellery Before Bed
Delicate details, gemstones or dried flowers inside can easily get damaged if your jewellery catches on bedding. This is especially important for UV resin, which tends to be a bit more brittle.
Don’t Wear Jewellery While Exercising
Sweat and vigorous movement can dull both UV resin and epoxy resin. There’s also a risk of breaking or losing your jewellery. It’s best to take it off before any workout!
Protect Resin Jewellery from Water
Swimming pools, the sea or even long baths can cause resin to lose its shine, and embedded elements may be affected. Both UV resin and epoxy resin jewellery dislike moisture and water contact.
Shield Resin Jewellery from Direct Sunlight
UV rays can make both types of resin yellow and dull. Store your resin jewellery in a dark, dry place like a pouch or jewellery box to keep the colours vibrant for longer.
Apply Perfume before Putting on Jewellery
Alcohol and scent ingredients can harm the surface of resin. For best results, spray your favourite perfume first, let it absorb, then put on your necklace or bracelet.
How to Clean UV and Epoxy Resin Jewellery
A soft, slightly damp cloth – ideally microfibre – works wonders. For heavier dirt, use a little mild soap, but never soak the jewellery. Clean gently to avoid scratches.
The Best Way to Store UV and Epoxy Resin Jewellery
Use a separate pouch or box, keep it away from moisture and direct light. This helps prevent dullness and keeps your jewellery looking fresh for many years.
You Always Get a Care Card and Cleaning Cloth
Each order comes with a jewellery care instruction card and a soft cleaning cloth, so you can easily look after your UV resin and epoxy resin jewellery at home.
