Care
By My Hands is a slow fashion brand. Your piece is made using natural and delicate materials that are meant to be treasured for a long-time. As a general rule of thumb, take care to protect glass, stones and pearls from extreme temperatures, constant banging, and harsh chemicals. We recommend removing before sleeping, showering, and any sweaty activities.
Some pieces are made with sunny holidays in mind. If you go for a dip in the sea wearing your jewellery, we recommend giving it a quick rinse and dry afterwards.
If your jewellery contains gold-filled hardware — which is thicker and longer-lasting than gold-plating — it's still recommended to take proper care. Prolong the life of your piece by keeping it away from substances like chlorine, lotion and perfumes, which can affect the shine and colour of both the hardware and some semi-precious stones.
With wear, your jewellery may get a little dirty. Don't worry, it's easy restore their shine: use a soft cloth and a mild dish soap to gently clean beads, sterling silver and gold-filled components.
Store your jewellery flat, away from direct sunlight or moisture.
