Care and Safety Instructions

Linajewelry Jewelry Care and Safety Instructions

Thank you for choosing our handcrafted jewelry! Each piece is a unique blend of materials and design, inspired by history and art. To enjoy your jewelry for as long as possible and ensure safe use, please read the following care and safety guidelines.

1. Jewelry Care:

  • Avoid contact with water and moisture: The jewelry is not waterproof. Exposure to water (e.g., during bathing, swimming, or washing hands) may weaken adhesives, cause metal tarnishing, and damage epoxy coatings or polymer clay elements.
  • Protect from chemicals: Avoid contact with cosmetics, perfumes, hairsprays, and detergents, as they can cause discoloration, weaken protective coatings, or damage the materials.
  • Store properly: Store your jewelry in a dry place, preferably in its original packaging, a soft cloth bag, or a jewelry box with compartments. Avoid storing jewelry loosely to prevent scratches and tangling.
  • Cleaning: Gently clean your jewelry with a soft, dry cloth (preferably microfiber). Do not use abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch or damage the surface.

2. Usage Recommendations:

  • Do not wear jewelry while sleeping: Sleeping in jewelry can lead to deformation, breakage, or damage to delicate elements such as epoxy coatings or polymer clay designs.
  • Avoid wearing jewelry during intense physical activity: Sweat, physical impact, and contact with hard surfaces can damage the jewelry and its protective coatings.
  • Avoid extreme conditions: Jewelry may be sensitive to high temperatures, intense sunlight, and sudden temperature changes, which could affect its durability and appearance.

3. Materials Used in Our Jewelry:

  • Surgical Steel: All components in contact with pierced areas (e.g., earring posts, hooks) are made of hypoallergenic surgical steel, minimizing the risk of irritation and ensuring resistance to corrosion.
  • Aluminum: Aluminum elements are lightweight, hypoallergenic, and resistant to corrosion but require protection from moisture and chemicals to prevent discoloration.
  • Copper and Brass: These natural materials may develop a patina or tarnish over time due to contact with skin, moisture, or air. This is a natural process that can be minimized by storing the jewelry in a dry place and polishing it regularly with a soft cloth.
  • Polymer Clay: Hand-modeled polymer clay elements are durable but delicate. Avoid excessive pressure, drops, or contact with sharp objects that could cause breakage.
  • Epoxy Coatings: These provide a glossy finish and protect certain elements. However, they can scratch or lose their luster if exposed to sharp objects or harsh chemicals.
  • Glass Elements: Glass components add a unique, elegant touch to your jewelry but require extra care. Avoid impacts or drops, as glass can chip or shatter. Handle with care to preserve their beauty and integrity.
  • Natural Stones: These stones are unique and may feature natural imperfections such as inclusions or slight color variations, which add to their authenticity and charm. Protect them from impacts, chemicals, and prolonged exposure to sunlight to prevent damage or fading.
  • Synthetic Stones: Crafted to replicate the appearance of natural stones, they are durable but require similar care. Avoid harsh chemicals and impacts to preserve their brilliance and structure.

4. Warnings:

  • Allergic Reactions: Our jewelry contains materials such as copper, brass, aluminum, and surgical steel. Sensitive individuals may experience allergic reactions. If irritation occurs, discontinue use immediately.
  • Not Suitable for Children: Due to small parts, our jewelry is not suitable for children under 3 years old and may pose a choking or ingestion hazard.
  • Improper Use: Jewelry is designed solely for decorative purposes and should not be used in any way other than its intended purpose.

5. Safety and Compliance:

  • Our jewelry is crafted in accordance with European product safety standards. We take great care to ensure that the materials used are safe and durable.
  • The jewelry complies with regulations regarding harmful substances (e.g., nickel content) as per current EU guidelines.

6. Additional Information:
