Real Flower Jewelry Care Guide
Belle Willow real flower jewelry is made with genuine pressed or dried botanicals carefully preserved in clear resin. Because every flower is created by nature, slight variations in color, shape, size, and placement make each piece beautifully unique.
Quick Care Tips
- Keep your jewelry dry.
- Avoid perfume, lotion, hairspray, and other chemicals.
- Protect it from direct sunlight, high heat, and humidity.
- Clean it gently with a soft, dry cloth.
- Store each piece separately in a jewelry box or soft pouch.
- Handle delicate flowers and metal components with care.
Keep Your Jewelry Dry
Remove your jewelry before:
- Showering or bathing
- Swimming
- Washing your hair
- Exercising
- Entering a sauna or hot tub
Water, humidity, chlorine, and salt water may affect the resin, natural flowers, and metal components. Our real flower jewelry should be treated as water-sensitive, not waterproof.
If your jewelry becomes wet, gently pat it dry with a soft cloth and allow it to air-dry completely before storing.
Avoid Perfume and Chemicals
Perfume, hairspray, lotion, sunscreen, cosmetics, alcohol, cleaning products, and other chemicals may cloud the resin or affect the finish of the metal components.
Apply skincare, cosmetics, perfume, and hair products first. Allow them to dry completely before putting on your jewelry.
A helpful rule to remember: put your jewelry on last and take it off first.
Protect It From Heat and Sunlight
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may gradually fade the natural flowers or discolor the clear resin.
Do not leave your jewelry:
- On a sunny windowsill
- Near a heater
- Inside a hot car
- In a bathroom or other humid area
When not being worn, keep your jewelry in a cool, dry, shaded place.
Handle With Care
Resin is durable, but it is not unbreakable. Dropping the jewelry or striking it against a hard surface may cause scratches, chips, cracks, or damage to delicate components.
Avoid:
- Pulling or twisting the floral elements
- Bending ear hooks, posts, or connecting pieces
- Placing heavy objects on the jewelry
- Wearing it while sleeping or exercising
- Carrying it loose with keys or other hard objects
Whenever possible, handle your jewelry by its metal components rather than the preserved floral elements.
How to Clean Your Jewelry
After wearing, gently wipe the resin and metal components with a clean, soft, dry microfiber cloth.
Do not use:
- Alcohol
- Chemical jewelry cleaners
- Abrasive cloths or brushes
- Polishing compounds
- Steam cleaners
- Ultrasonic cleaners
Do not soak the jewelry in water. Gentle dry cleaning is the safest method.
How to Store Your Jewelry
Store each piece separately in its original box, a jewelry box, or a soft pouch. This helps prevent scratching, tangling, and contact with other jewelry.
For the best protection:
- Make sure the jewelry is clean and completely dry before storing.
- Keep it away from direct sunlight.
- Choose a cool, dry storage location.
- Avoid bathrooms and other humid spaces.
- Keep necklaces and earrings separated.
- Do not place heavy items on top of the jewelry.
Natural Variations & Changes
Real flowers are natural materials, so no two pieces will be exactly alike. Small differences in shape, color, size, and flower placement are expected and are not product defects.
Even when carefully preserved in resin, natural flower colors may gradually soften, deepen, or change slightly over time. Clear resin and metal components may also develop normal signs of aging with extended wear.
These subtle changes are part of the character and beauty of genuine botanical jewelry.
Keep Your Flowers Beautiful
Put your jewelry on last and take it off first. Keep it dry, protect it from chemicals and heat, clean it gently, and store it carefully so you can enjoy its natural beauty for longer.
