Cleaning Instructions
When jewellery is not being worn it is best to keep it in it’s box.
The wood used in my jewellery is walnut and it is finished with a protective layer of wax. If your wooden jewellery gets wet, allow it to dry and reseal it with a thin layer of bees wax or furniture wax applied with a soft cloth.
Laminate is a hard wearing material often used for table tops and similar. I use sheet laminate which I connect with a rivet or laminate to wood. Care needs to be taken to avoid chipping and scratching. It can be wiped down with a damp cloth.
Oxidised silver has been treated with a chemical solution to give a dark grey/black finish. This does wear away over time particularly in exposed areas which adds to the character of the piece.
