Whether your keepsake contains ashes, hair, or dried flowers, these delicate pieces are designed to preserve love and remembrance for years to come.
To help you protect your treasured item, we’ve put together this detailed resin keepsake care guide.
What Is Resin Memorial Jewellery?
Resin memorial jewellery is a beautiful way to carry the memory of a loved one close to your heart. Each piece is handcrafted using a crystal-clear resin that safely encases sentimental inclusions such as ashes, hair, or flower petals. Resin offers a unique balance of strength and beauty, but like all handmade jewellery, it deserves gentle care and attention to keep it looking its best!
Why Resin Needs Special Care
Resin is a durable material, but it’s sensitive to extreme heat, chemicals, and prolonged sunlight. Over time, exposure to harsh conditions can cause yellowing, dullness, or tiny surface scratches. By following the right resin jewellery care instructions, you’ll help your keepsake maintain its clarity and shine for many years.
Remember, your resin keepsake isn’t just jewellery, it’s a memorial piece filled with deep emotional significance. Treating it gently will ensure it remains as beautiful as the day it was made.
How to Clean Resin Jewellery Safely
When cleaning your resin memorial jewellery, less is more.
Here’s how to do it correctly:
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe away dust or fingerprints.
If deeper cleaning is needed, use mild soap and lukewarm water, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Avoid any harsh chemicals, alcohol, or acetone-based cleaners, these can damage or cloud the resin surface.
Never use ultrasonic or steam cleaners on resin keepsakes.
This method helps preserve your keepsake’s beauty without risking damage to the delicate inclusions inside.
We do offer a free complimentary cleaning on all keepsakes created, this is redeemable for up to ONE YEAR from date of receiving.
