Jewellery Maintenance and Care

  • Oxidation and Tarnishing

Most of the jewellery materials will be oxidation and tarnishing even plated 18K gold and sterling silver unless it is made by pure gold.

 

Over time, the gold-plated layer wears out naturally, blackening, oxidation, redness, and black spots will appear. In addition, the silver reacts with sulfuret will led to silver blackening. The same goes for other materials. Those are normal phenomenon. Please take care with the jewellery to let it can keep longer. 

  • Regular Care

- Please keep the jewellery in the seal bag which we provide when not wear.

​

- After wearing the gold-plated jewellery, wipe it with alcohol wipe before storing.

​

- If the silver not as bright as when it's new or the earrings needle turning black, you can use a silver wiping cloth to wipe it or using toothbrush and dip a small amount of fluoride-free toothpaste to brush the silver jewellery, and then rinse with water.

​

- If you found the sterling silver needle is not straight whenever new or used, just use hand to adjust it. It is normal phenomenon because the sterling silver is very soft and that also explain it is a real sterling silver.

Crochet Maintenance and Care

All the crochet products are not recommend to wash. If must, please base on the different materials to care.
 

  • Washing

Wool must be washed by hand in cold water to avoid felting and shrinking. Choose a detergent formula developed for wool or a mild baby shampoo. Specialty detergents containing lanolin, help preserve wool fibers and increase the water-resistance of wool.

Cotton, linen, and ramie yarn can be washed in the washing machine on a gentle cycle using either cold or warm water.

​

Acrylic and other synthetic yarns can be washed and dried with your regular laundry because they don't shrink. 
  • Dry the Item
Allow the item to dry for 24 hours. Please let them dry naturally, do not use dry machine.  
  • Repairs

Crochet items can be challenging to repair. Small holes can be tightened by hand-stitching with matching color yarn or threads. However, if the break is significant, there may be nothing you can do other than to purchase a replacement or unravel the project and crochet again.

In order to keep the longer life of the jewellery and crochet. Please read above  instruction carefully, if jewellery and crochet products have unproperly care and led to any broken, damage shrink, deformation, decolorization etc, Forest Jewellery is not responsibility for that.
