At Camelia Wear Ltd, we want you to enjoy your jewellery and fashion accessories for as long as possible. Proper care and storage can help maintain the appearance and condition of your jewellery.
Because different materials and finishes can react differently to moisture, chemicals, cosmetics, and everyday wear, we recommend following the care guidance below.
1. Keep Jewellery Dry
Where possible, keep jewellery away from excessive moisture.
We recommend removing jewellery before:
Showering or bathing
Swimming
Exercising
Using a sauna or steam room
Sleeping, where appropriate
Avoid leaving jewellery in damp or humid environments for extended periods.
2. Avoid Contact With Chemicals
Perfumes, cosmetics, hairspray, lotions, cleaning products, chlorine, and other chemicals may affect the appearance or finish of jewellery.
We recommend applying perfumes, lotions, and cosmetics before putting on your jewellery and allowing them to dry before wearing your pieces.
Avoid direct contact with household cleaning products and other chemicals.
3. Handle With Care
Jewellery can be affected by impact, friction, bending, pulling, or excessive pressure.
To help protect your jewellery:
Put jewellery on after getting dressed
Remove jewellery before activities that may cause excessive friction or impact
Avoid pulling or twisting chains
Handle delicate pieces carefully
Keep individual pieces separated where possible
4. Cleaning Your Jewellery
For general cleaning, gently wipe your jewellery with a clean, soft, dry cloth.
Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh cleaning products unless the product’s specific care instructions state that they are suitable.
For delicate pieces, clean gently and avoid excessive rubbing.
If a product comes with specific care instructions, those instructions should take priority.
5. Jewellery Storage
Proper storage can help reduce scratches, tangling, and unnecessary exposure to moisture.
We recommend:
Storing jewellery in a clean and dry place
Keeping pieces separated when possible
Keeping chains secured to reduce tangling
Using a jewellery box, pouch, or suitable storage container
Avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or excessive heat
6. Plated and Finished Jewellery
Some jewellery may have a plated, coated, polished, or otherwise finished surface.
With regular wear, these finishes may naturally change over time depending on factors such as skin contact, moisture, cosmetics, chemicals, friction, and frequency of use.
To help maintain the appearance of finished jewellery, minimise exposure to water, chemicals, perfumes, and excessive friction.
7. Jewellery and Skin
Individual skin types and sensitivities vary.
If you experience discomfort, irritation, redness, or another unexpected reaction while wearing a product, remove the jewellery and discontinue use.
If you have concerns about a possible allergic reaction or skin sensitivity, seek appropriate professional advice.
8. Natural Changes Over Time
Jewellery may naturally develop changes in appearance through normal use.
Factors such as exposure to air, moisture, skin oils, cosmetics, chemicals, and everyday friction can affect colour, shine, or finish over time.
Following appropriate care and storage instructions can help minimise these effects.
9. Product-Specific Care
Care requirements may vary depending on the materials and construction of individual products.
Where specific care instructions are provided with a product or on its product page, please follow those instructions.
If you are unsure how to care for a particular item, please contact us before using cleaning products or other treatments.
