Care Guide

We use natural and sustainable materials that are designed to last and grow more beautiful with age. Find out how to keep them looking their best by following our guidelines below.

Brass

To preserve the quality and shine of your upcycled brass, we recommend limiting exposure to water. Please remove your jewelry while exercising, showering, or swimming and limit contact with perfumes, lotions and hair products. We recommend lemon juice to restore shine. Mix one part water with one part lemon juice, soak your brass in the solution for five minutes, and then rinse thoroughly with water. Leave to air dry and buff with a soft cloth for extra shine.

Leather

Like all natural materials, leather reacts to extreme weather - humidity, rain, and sunlight can damage and alter its appearance. We recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to these elements in order to preserve its color and condition. For additional care, Chamberlain’s Leather Milk can be applied using a dry, soft cloth. A little goes a long way as natural, unfinished and pale leathers can darken when conditioned so please apply sparingly. While you should try and keep your leather dry, you can spot clean when needed with water and a mild detergent as long as you allow it to dry naturally. 

 
Semi-precious stones

To keep your stone jewelry looking its very best, we recommend using a soft, non-abrasive cloth to gently wipe away any dirt. Try to avoid getting it wet, and don't use any cleaning products on it as this may alter the color and appearance of your jewelry. If there is significant build-up, a damp jewelry brush may be used to gently buff the surface. Remember to remove your jewelry while exercising, showering, or swimming, and when applying hand wash or sanitizer, fragrance, hair or skin products. 

 

Wood

We recommend using a soft washcloth and mild dish soap to clean wood when needed, taking care to rinse off any residue. Remember to dry it thoroughly after cleaning and do not leave it to soak in water as it may warp and crack. When looked after, the appearance of wood only improves with age. Some change color slowly with time, some fade, and others become darker and richer. Strong light will accelerate this, but no wood care can prevent it completely.

 

Horn

We recommend cleaning horn with a damp soft cloth or sponge to avoid marking the surface. Do not submerge in water and avoid using hot water to clean as this could distort the shape and cause shrinking. If possible, store in a cool, dry place, away from extremes of temperature and humidity. To preserve the original condition, nourish sparingly with a little almond, coconut or olive oil. Do not use sharp utensils, such as knives, as horn can easily be scratched.

 

Glass

We recommend hand-washing your glassware with warm, not hot, water and leaving to air dry. Recycled glass is sensitive to extreme heat: please do not put it in the dishwasher.
