Looking After Resin Set Crystal Jewellery
Posted on: 29/06/2022How To Look After Your Resin Set Crystal Jewellery
When you receive a new piece of jewellery, it is important to know how to care for it properly so that you can get the most out of its natural beauty and to slow down the wear and tear process.
Resin set crystal jewellery is a popular choice amongst our customers as it creates a lot of sparkle with crystals at a fantastic price. Resin set crystal jewellery has a coating that is applied to the finished piece at the end of the manufacturing process that helps keep the stones in place. This gives it a splash proof protection, but the coating does not provide protection for prolonged wear in water, including swimming, bathing, showering or washing dishes.
Our jewellery uses high-quality resin to hold the crystals securely in place. Although resin is hard-wearing, it must be looked after proper in order to maintain its durability.
In this guide you will learn:
• How to wear your resin set crystal jewellery
• What to avoid when wearing resin set crystal jewellery
• How to store your resin set crystal jewellery
• How to clean your resin set crystal jewellery
How To Wear Your Resin Set Crystal Jewellery
Because of our wide range of resin set crystal jewellery pieces, you can mix and match your jewellery with ease to fit your mood. The most important point you need to remember is to make sure your resin set crystal jewellery is the last thing you put on when getting ready, and the first thing you take off when changing out of your clothes. This will avoid your jewellery snagging and catching on your clothes and getting damaged.
Avoid Water
Water can weaken resin set crystal jewellery and discolour some metals, so you should avoid water when wearing your resin set crystal jewellery. Although resin set crystal jewellery is splash proof, the resin coating does not provide protection for prolonged wear in water. This includes when you are showering, bathing, swimming and washing up.
Avoid Perfumes & Creams
When getting ready to go out we all want to spray our favourite perfume, but we recommend you do this before you put on your resin set crystal jewellery as the chemicals found in perfume can affect the durability of the resin and also discolour certain metals. The same also goes for any hand or body creams, household cleaning products and even hand sanitiser. It's a good idea to take any resin set crystal jewellery off before using any of these products.
Storing Your Resin Set Crystal Jewellery
We recommend you store your resin set crystal jewellery in a separate part of your jewellery box to avoid it getting tangled with your other jewellery pieces. When metals rub against each other this can cause damage to the finish and cause it to lose its shine.
If you don't have a jewellery box then storing your resin set pieces in the F.Hinds box that you bought it in will also be just as good. Just make sure you keep the environment it's stored in cool, dark and dry.
How to Clean Your Resin Set Crystal Jewellery
Cleaning your resin set crystal jewellery pieces is easy. All you'll need is a microfibre jewellery cleaning cloth to give your piece a wipe to bring out that wonderful shine every now and again.
