Cleaning Instructions
The papers used to make this item have been sealed with a protective lacquer, however due to the nature of the materials the item may change appearance over time and with wear. This is normal and to be expected of an item made using ephemeral materials. It is advisable to follow these instructions in order to avoid unnecessary damage, and to prolong the life and aesthetics of the work.
- Paper items to do not need cleaning. Only polished silver components such as chain, pins, and earring fittings may be cleaned with a suitable silver cleaning cloth.
- Do not dip any paper items in cleaning solution.
- Oxidised silver should not be cleaned with a cleaning cloth or silver cleaning products, as this may affect the patina and damage the seal.
- Avoid wearing or storing items containing paper in wet or damp conditions.
