Durability & Care

We want your jewelry and accessories to stay as stunning as the day you got them! Here’s how to keep them looking their best:

Avoid prolonged exposure to water – While many of our materials are durable, excessive moisture can weaken certain beads and metals over time.
Store with care – Keep your pieces in a soft pouch or jewelry box to prevent scratches and tangling.
Handle gently – Some stones, like charoite, pearls, and K2 stone, are more delicate, so avoid dropping or knocking them against hard surfaces.
Keep away from harsh chemicals – Perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products can affect finishes and natural stones.

Whether you’re rocking a fun, colorful bracelet, a dazzling pen, or a pair of refined earrings, our pieces are designed to bring joy, personality, and effortless style to your everyday look.
