Jewellery care

Aisyastar jewellery is handmade by Aisyah. As a result, our pieces are truly unique, with stories and variations of their own. We suggest storing our jewellery in a box or pouch for protection, so that the items don’t rub together, scratch or tangle. This will keep it dry and will reduce the likelihood of tarnishing. Avoid exposing our jewellery to excessive humidity or sunlight. Avoid perfumes, lotions, oils, water or any substances that may harm or discolour the plating or ware the thread. Do not wear our jewellery when adding makeup, washing, swimming, sleeping or exercising. To Maintain your jewellery in good condition, gold vermeil and silver jewellery should be kept in a dark, cool and dry place. Avoid water when wearing your piece, because over time the sterling silver will oxidize and the gold vermeil wears off.

Expect some natural tarnishing over time with wear on gold plated items. To reduce the effect of wear, gently wipe your jewellery with a soft polishing cloth and store it in a dry place. Protect your jewellery from abrasive surfaces and harsh chemicals and please be mindful of wearing makeup near jewellery, or of getting your plated metal piece wet. Tarnishing and discoloration occur by the oxidization process, when metal is in contact with air and acids through handling and moisture.

Although macramé might seem simple to care for, it also requires a basic level of attention. Our macramé jewellery requires the same level of care and handling as all other jewellery. If somehow it touches some dirt it can be cleaned gently with a cloth soaked with mild soap and warm water until the dirt comes off. It is not recommended that you expose or submerge your macramé jewellery to water for prolonged periods of time as this may have adverse effects on the jewellery and the gemstone. Macramé bracelets usually stretch a little over time. The stretch can be minimised by following the care guidelines.  

Wipe your precious gemstone jewellery with a clean, soft, damp cloth after wearing. This will enhance the luster and assure that your jewellery is clean before being stored. Please be aware that a blow could damage the beauty of any gemstone. So it is best to store them while engaging in any activity where they might be subjected to high impact. All crystal and gemstones naturally absorb and protect the wearer from unwanted energy, somewhat like a vacuum cleaner. Therefore they need to be cleansed after wearing for sometime, or when the wearer has been through some challenges in life. There are a number of ways you can clean your crystal jewellery, we recommend to smudge the jewellery with a palo santo wood stick or white sage. Let the smoke circle the jewellery for some time. Another option is to put the jewellery on top of Selenite crystal.
