Caring for Adjustable Jewelry

How to Properly Size Adjustable Jewelry

To ensure your jewelry maintains its shape and durability, it's important to understand how to care for sizeable rings and cuffs. Over-adjusting or frequent resizing can weaken the material, so they should adjust it only when necessary.

1. Use Both Hands for Mutual Pressure:

• When resizing the ring or cuff, hold both sides of the open band gently.

• Apply equal pressure to both sides simultaneously as you widen or narrow the ring. This ensures the adjustment is smooth and prevents uneven stress on the metal.

2. Adjust Gradually:

• Make small adjustments, testing the fit between each step, to avoid over-bending or stressing the ring.

• Never twist or force the metal, as this could distort the shape or weaken the structure.

3. Find the Perfect Fit:

• The ring and/or cuff should feel snug but comfortable, neither pinching the finger nor sliding off easily.

Jewelry Care Guide

Silver Jewelry Care (Ciclos):

• Storage: Store silver pieces in a dry, cool place, preferably in an airtight bag or box to minimize oxidation. Keep each piece separate to avoid scratching.

• Cleaning: Use the included polishing pad to gently buff silver surfaces. Avoid polishing areas with a gunmetal or oxidized patina, as excessive polishing can remove this finish.

• Water & Chemicals: Remove silver jewelry before swimming, showering, or using household cleaners, as moisture and chemicals can tarnish or dull the metal over time.

Copper Glass Enamel Care ( Mer De Verre ):

• Storage: Store enameled glass pieces in a cushioned box or soft pouch, away from other jewelry to prevent scratching or chipping. When traveling, keep these items boxed to protect their unique glass surfaces and shapes.

• Polishing: You can gently polish the edges of copper jewelry with a soft polishing pad or cloth to brighten the copper. This will not damage the enamel.

• DIY Cleaning for Copper: To freshen up copper without damaging the enamel, create a gentle cleaning paste using ketchup, water, and baking soda. Apply with fingers or a toothbrush, rinse thoroughly, and dry immediately. Avoid exposing jewelry with pearls or soft stones to water.

• Avoid Salt Water: Copper jewelry should not be worn at the beach or in saltwater, as it can lead to oxidation and affect the enamel.
