Storage

-
Keep jewelry in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity
-
Avoid storing jewelry in bathrooms or other damp areas
At Cordelia Kraft, each piece of jewelry is thoughtfully handmade to celebrate individuality and craftsmanship. Proper care will help preserve the beauty, finish, and longevity of your jewelry.
Quick answer: To care for terracotta jewelry, keep it dry, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth, and store each piece separately in its cloth bag in a cool, dry place. Put your jewelry on last, after perfume, lotion and hairspray have dried, and take it off before swimming, bathing or exercising.
To keep your pieces looking their best, please follow the care guidelines below.
Store each jewelry piece separately in its cloth bag to prevent scratches, tangling, or surface damage
Keep jewelry in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity
Avoid storing jewelry in bathrooms or other damp areas
Gently clean your jewelry regularly with a soft, dry cloth
This helps remove natural oils, dust, and residue that can dull the finish over time
Do not use abrasive cloths, chemical cleaners, or liquid jewelry solutions
To maintain the integrity and finish of your jewelry, avoid exposure to:
Chlorine and salt water
Cleaning fluids and household chemicals
Perfumes, creams, lotions, and cosmetics
Sweat and shampoo
Lotions, perfumes, hairsprays, and makeup contain chemicals that can dull shine and damage finishes.
Rule of thumb:
✨ Get ready → let products dry → wear jewelry last
Always wear your jewelry after applying personal care products and remove it before swimming, bathing, or exercising.
Handmade jewelry should be worn and handled gently
Avoid pulling, bending, or applying pressure to delicate components
Remove jewelry before sleeping or engaging in physical activities
Slight changes in color or finish over time are natural for handcrafted jewelry and reflect normal wear. Proper storage and care can significantly extend the life of your pieces.
