Joslin Creates: The Ultimate Guide to Caring for Your Flower Jewelry

Resin and stainless steel jewelry has become a favorite for many due to its versatility and durability. However, to keep your jewelry looking its best, it requires a bit of care. Here's how you can maintain the beauty and longevity of your resin and stainless steel jewelry pieces.

Keep It Clean

  1. Gentle Cleaning: Resin can be sensitive to harsh chemicals, so it's best to use a soft, damp cloth to wipe your jewelry. For stainless steel parts, you can occasionally use a mild soap with water, but make sure to rinse it thoroughly to avoid any soap residues.

  2. Avoid Abrasives: Never use harsh or abrasive materials like scrubbing brushes on resin parts as they can scratch and dull the surface. For polishing stainless steel, use a soft microfiber cloth to maintain its shine without scratching the surface.

Avoid Exposure

  1. Chemicals and Solvents: Keep your jewelry away from harsh chemicals such as chlorine, detergents, and even perfumes. These can break down the resin over time or tarnish the look of stainless steel.

  2. Sunlight and Heat: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the resin to become discolored or warped. It’s best to store your jewelry in a cool, shaded place, particularly away from windowsills or other sun-exposed areas.

Proper Storage

  1. Separate Storage: To avoid scratches, store your resin and stainless steel jewelry separately from other pieces. Use a jewelry box with a soft lining or individual pouches for each piece.

  2. Avoid Moisture: Although stainless steel is largely rust-resistant, it’s wise to keep it dry. Store your jewelry in a dry place and consider using silica gel packets in your jewelry box to absorb any excess moisture.

Wear It Right

  1. Last On, First Off: Put your jewelry on last when getting dressed and take it off first when undressing. This reduces the exposure to lotions, make-up, and perfumes that might affect both the resin and the stainless steel.

  2. Smart Wearing: While stainless steel is durable and resin is relatively resilient, it’s best to remove your jewelry during activities that might expose it to physical damage or excessive sweat, such as during sports or gardening.

Taking care of your resin and stainless steel jewelry doesn’t have to be complicated. With these simple steps, you can ensure that your favorite pieces stay as vibrant and stunning as the day you got them. Enjoy wearing your jewelry with confidence, knowing it’s well-cared for!
