Crislu Jewelry Care Instructions
Your Crislu jewelry is crafted with precision using 925 sterling silver and finished in luxurious platinum, 18K yellow, or rose gold. To maintain its brilliance, we recommend the following care tips:
Daily Wear Tips
- Avoid contact with moisture and chemicals: Remove your jewelry before swimming, bathing, or engaging in activities that involve water or perspiration, as this can affect both the silver and enamel finishes.
- Apply beauty products first: Lotions, perfumes, hairsprays, and makeup can cause both the enamel and the finished metal to fade or tarnish. Put on your jewelry after your beauty routine is complete.
- Limit exposure to cleaning agents: Harsh household cleaners, alcohol-based products, and hand sanitizers can dull finishes, degrade the metal, and damage enamel.
Cleaning Your Jewelry
- Use a soft, dry cloth to gently polish your jewelry after each wear. A microfiber or jewelry polishing cloth works best for both the metal and enamel surfaces.
- Occasional deep cleaning: If needed, you can use mild soap and lukewarm water. Soak briefly and brush gently with a soft toothbrush, especially around enamel details. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storing.
- Avoid commercial jewelry cleaners: Especially those not specifically designed for plated, finished, or enamel jewelry, as they may contain harsh chemicals that can damage both the metal and enamel.
Enamel Care
- Gentle cleaning: Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe your enamel jewelry after each wear, removing any oils or dust. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water with mild soap and gently rub with a soft cloth. Never use abrasive cleaners or hard brushes, as they can scratch the enamel.
- Avoid chemicals and moisture: Keep enamel pieces away from harsh chemicals. Apply any perfumes, hairspray, or lotions before putting on your enamel-accented jewelry to minimize contact. Always remove enamel jewelry before swimming or using household cleaners, as chlorinated water and cleaning agents can erode or discolor the enamel over time.
- Avoid hard impacts and extreme temperatures: Protect your enamel jewelry from sudden shocks or hard impacts, as enamel can chip or crack. It is also sensitive to extreme temperature changes, which can cause cracking or fading. Always remove your enamel jewelry before entering hot tubs, saunas, or very cold water.
Storage Guidelines
- Store separately: Keep your jewelry in a soft pouch, original box, or a lined jewelry box to prevent scratches and tangling. The enamel surface can be scratched by rough surfaces.
- Keep away from humidity: Moisture accelerates tarnishing and can affect the enamel over time. Consider placing a silica gel packet or anti-tarnish strip in your storage area.
- Avoid humid environments: Do not store your jewelry in the bathroom or other damp spaces.
Preserving the Finish & Enamel
Rotate your jewelry: Even with high-quality finishes and enamel, some natural fading or wear may occur over time. To prolong the life of your jewelry, rotate pieces to give them a break between wears.
Additional Care Instructions and Helpful Tips
Avoid impact: Enamel can be more fragile than metal, so be cautious to prevent knocks or drops that could cause chipping.
