How to care for your treasures
So how do you protect your KSD plated jewelry?
Here are just a few tips:
- Remove your jewelry before you swim in chlorine or salt water.
- Remove your jewelry before participating in activities that will cause you to sweat a lot.
- Wait to put on your jewelry until after you have applied lotion, makeup or perfume.
- Remove jewelry if you will be bringing it into contact with something hard. (For example, take off your ring before lifting weights.)
- Store your plated jewelry where it won’t rub against other hard substances (a soft bag—one per piece of jewelry—is ideal).
Wipe your gold plated jewelry after each use, using a soft cloth to remove any dirt or debris. You may also soak it for a few minutes in warm, soapy water and dry it with a soft cloth as needed (or a soft toothbrush to clean small cracks and crevices).
So how do you protect your KSD by Akola jewelry?
Akola jewelry is handcrafted using a selection of natural and up-cycled materials. Slight inconsistencies will occur that add to the unique beauty of each piece.
Handle your Akola jewelry with care as some of the materials we use are delicate in nature.
Keep your jewelry away from water, lotion and perfume. Store jewelry separately to avoid scratching and wipe with a soft untreated cloth to clean.
