Resin Jewellery Care Instructions
Resin jewellery is pretty hard-wearing but to get the best out of your pieces and ensure they last a
lifetime please try to adhere to the following advice. This will keep your pieces looking their best and
save you having to pay for the resin jewellery to be repaired or replaced. Some resin jewellery clients
don’t follow the instructions and their pieces are fine, but it’s best to be on the safe side. The
instructions are the same for epoxy and UV based pieces.
● Scrapes
Try to avoid bumping and scratching your piece as this could damage. Avoid using tools and
doing manual work with the piece on
● Water
Do NOT submerge your jewellery pieces in water. Resin is NOT waterproof, only water
resistant. So please remember to remove your jewellery before showers, swimming, washing
up etc.
● Heat
If your piece is exposed to big temperature fluctuations, it might expand and contract and
cause the elements inside to separate
● Sunlight
Store your jewellery out of direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause
the resin to discolour and soften.
● Smoking
If your piece is in regular contact with smoke it will usually yellow. However, some of our
smoking resin jewellery clients have worn their pieces for years without discolouration.
● Chemicals
Avoid exposing your jewellery to harsh chemicals and cleaning products. This includes
antibacterial hand sanitiser, perfume, hair spray, cleaning solutions, nail polish remover,
chlorine etc.
When Resin Jewellery Care Has Been Forgotten
If your piece suffers damage or wear please get in touch and we will give you a price based on
photos. We ask clients to retain your elements such as breastmilk, cremation ashes, hair and cord
because it makes a remake possible when needed. If you haven’t retained the elements, we may be
able to do a repair, but can’t guarantee results.
● Yellowing
Yellowing is almost always due to resin care rather than the brand or type of resin or
insufficient breastmilk preservation. The top layer can often be removed and re-coated,
depending on the damage
● Dullness & Scratches
If your piece has dulled or been scratched or scraped, we can add a new top coat layer. If
this doesn’t work out we can always remove this if necessary. For charm beads and orbs, it
may be easier to replace the piece completely because the hardware can’t be removed.
