💎 Caring for Resin Jewelry

---

Material: High-quality resin – lightweight, non-metallic, and hand-polished for a smooth gloss finish.
Finish: Translucent, iridescent, or embedded detail (florals, glitter, charms). Each piece is sculpted for lightplay and colour depth.

🧼 Cleaning

• Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners or rough surfaces.
• For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and lukewarm water—then dry immediately.

🚫 Avoid

• Prolonged exposure to water, perfumes, or harsh chemicals.
• Direct sunlight or high heat (may cause warping or fading).
• Metal-on-metal stacking or friction that could scratch resin surfaces.

📏 Sizing Accuracy

Rings are mandrel-verified for precision. Your size line includes UK, US, EU, CZ, diameter, and circumference for full transparency.

Other pieces (charms, pendants, bangles) are measured by internal diameter.

Resin jewellery is cherished for its lightweight feel, luminous colour, and handcrafted charm. Although durable, it requires gentle care to maintain its clarity and longevity.

🧪 What Is Resin?

Resin is a viscous substance that hardens into a durable, often glossy solid. It’s prized for its ability to be moulded, coloured, and polished—making it ideal for expressive jewellery like your handcrafted rings.  There are two main types of Resin:

• Natural Resin: Secreted by trees (especially pines) as a protective substance. Historically used in varnishes, incense, and perfumes.
• Synthetic Resin: Man-made polymers designed for durability and versatility. Includes epoxy, polyester, polyurethane, and acrylic resins.

For jewellery, synthetic resin is most common—especially thermosetting types that cure into a solid form.

🌍 Sustainability & Environmental Impact - Not biodegradable, but:

• Often produced in small batches, reducing waste.
• Long-lasting—encourages mindful wear over fast fashion.
• Some newer resins are being developed with bio-based ingredients, though they’re not yet mainstream.

🧼 Caring for Resin Jewellery

Resin is durable but sensitive to heat, UV light, and solvents, so gentle handling keeps it glowing.

🌞 Wear Mindfully

• Resin is sensitive to prolonged heat—avoid leaving rings in direct sunlight or hot environments (e.g. radiators, car dashboards).
• Keep away from chemicals such as perfumes, hand sanitiser, hairspray, or cleaning products, which may cloud or damage the surface.

🧽 Clean Gently

• To clean, simply wipe with a soft cloth. Microfibre works best.
• Avoid abrasive materials, soaking, or harsh cleaners—resin isn’t porous, but its polish can dull under friction.

🗃️ Store with Intention

• Store pieces separately in a soft pouch or box to prevent surface scratches.
• For colourful resin rings, keep away from direct light when not in use to maintain vibrancy over time.

♻️ Sustainability Note

• Resin isn’t biodegradable, but it’s low-waste when crafted in small batches and designed for long-term wear.
• Choosing jewellery you’ll love for years is one of the kindest acts of sustainability.
