Creating beautiful jewelry with Art Clay World is a rewarding experience, but maintaining its shine and luster is equally important. In today’s post, we’re sharing a number of essential care tips to keep your metal clay pieces looking their best.

Regular Cleaning

Gently clean your metal clay jewelry after each wear. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and dirt. For deeper cleaning, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can help remove buildup without scratching the surface.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Protect your metal clay jewelry from household cleaners, chlorine, and other harsh chemicals. These can tarnish or damage the metal. When cleaning your home or swimming, we advise removing your jewelry to keep it safe. Ultimately, ensuring your jewelry doesn’t come into contact with any chemicals that could cause problems is always the way to go.

Store Properly Away From Moisture

Store your pieces in a cool, dry place. Using a jewelry box or a soft pouch can prevent scratches and tangling. If possible, wrap individual pieces in a soft cloth to minimize direct contact with other items. It’s also important to note that excess moisture can lead to tarnishing. Avoid wearing your jewelry while showering, swimming, or exercising. If your piece does get wet, gently pat it dry with a soft cloth immediately after exposure.

Periodic Polishing

For a bit of extra shine, consider using a non-abrasive jewelry polish. Apply a small amount to a soft cloth and gently rub the surface. This can help rejuvenate the shine and remove any stubborn tarnish.
