Jewelry Maintenance Guide

Wovenry jewelry is crafted from sterling silver, natural gemstones, shell elements, crystals, and hand-finished materials. Proper care will help preserve the beauty, texture, and longevity of every piece. This guide provides recommendations for daily wear, storage, cleaning, and long-term maintenance.

Understanding Your Jewelry

Each Wovenry creation is handcrafted and may combine sterling silver, natural gemstones, crystals, shell materials, pearls, and artisan textures. Because these materials are naturally occurring and individually selected, every piece possesses unique characteristics.

Environmental factors such as humidity, temperature, air exposure, cosmetics, and daily wear can influence how jewelry ages over time.

Slight oxidation, surface patina, and natural variation are considered normal characteristics of handcrafted jewelry.

Daily Wearing Guidelines

Following proper daily care practices will significantly extend the lifespan of your jewelry.

• Apply perfume, lotion, and cosmetics before putting on jewelry
• Remove jewelry before showering, swimming, or exercising
• Avoid contact with household chemicals and cleaning products
• Store pieces individually to reduce scratching and tangling
• Remove jewelry before sleeping whenever possible

Jewelry should be the final step of your styling routine and the first item removed at the end of the day.

Silver Care & Oxidation

Sterling silver naturally reacts with sulfur compounds and moisture present in the environment. Over time this may create a darker appearance known as oxidation.

Oxidation is not a defect and can usually be removed through regular maintenance.

Recommended silver care:

• Polish gently using a dedicated silver polishing cloth
• Store in airtight pouches when not in use
• Avoid excessive humidity exposure
• Clean after extended wear

Avoid aggressive chemical silver cleaners on jewelry that contains gemstones, crystals, pearls, shell materials, or oxidized finishes.

Gemstone & Crystal Maintenance

Natural stones such as tiger eye, green phantom quartz, white jade, crystal, and shell materials require careful handling.

Recommended care:

• Avoid impact against hard surfaces
• Protect from sudden temperature changes
• Clean with a soft dry cloth
• Avoid ultrasonic cleaning equipment
• Avoid prolonged sunlight exposure

Natural inclusions, color variations, and texture differences are evidence of authenticity and should not be considered imperfections.

Storage Recommendations

Proper storage helps minimize oxidation and surface damage.

Best practices include:

• Store each item separately
• Use anti-tarnish pouches when available
• Keep jewelry in a dry location
• Avoid storing jewelry in bathrooms or humid spaces
• Protect chains from tangling by hanging or laying flat

Cleaning Method

Routine cleaning helps preserve shine and appearance.

For basic maintenance:

• Use a soft microfiber cloth after wearing
• Remove fingerprints and oils regularly
• Clean sterling silver with mild soap and lukewarm water when necessary
• Dry completely before storage

Do not soak jewelry containing natural stones, pearls, shell materials, or glued components for extended periods.

What To Avoid

To maintain the highest quality condition, avoid:

• Chlorinated swimming pools
• Saltwater exposure
• Perfumes and alcohol-based sprays
• Harsh cleaning chemicals
• Abrasive surfaces
• Excessive force or bending
• Direct heat sources

Longevity Philosophy

Wovenry embraces the idea that jewelry evolves alongside the wearer. Small changes in surface texture, oxidation, and wear patterns contribute to the individuality and story of each piece.

Rather than resisting time, our designs celebrate the beauty of natural transformation and personal connection.

True beauty is not permanence, but transformation over time.
