How to Care for Your MiniCrochet Jewellery
How to Care for Your MiniCrochet Jewellery
At MiniCrochet, each piece of jewellery is carefully handcrafted with fine cotton lace threads and delicate metal components. While our micro-crocheted jewellery is designed to be long-lasting, proper care will help preserve its beauty and shape over time.
1. Keep Your Jewellery Dry
Moisture can weaken the stiffening applied to our crocheted pieces, causing them to lose their shape. To keep your jewellery in its best condition:
- Avoid wearing it while swimming, or showering.
- Store it in a dry place, away from high humidity when not in use.
- If exposed to moisture, let it air dry completely before storing.
2. Store It Properly
To prevent tangling, dust buildup, or accidental damage:
- Store it in a soft jewellery pouch or box when not in use.
- Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the jewellery.
3. Gentle Cleaning Only
Dust and dirt can accumulate over time, but since micro-crocheted jewellery is delicate, it requires careful cleaning:
- Use a soft, dry brush (like a makeup brush) to remove dust.
- Use a cotton stick to gently wipe dirt if necessary.
- For our metal components (gold-plated copper, brass, and silver), gently wipe with a soft jewellery cloth.
- Avoid harsh chemicals, as they may damage the metal finish.
4. Reshaping & Stiffening Service
Some types of micro-crocheted pieces, like a flat flower, may lose shape over time due to their thin construction and exposure to moisture. At MiniCrochet, we offer a one-time free stiffening or reshaping service after purchase.
- Customers only need to cover shipping costs both ways.
- If your piece starts to lose its shape and would like a free reshaping, contact us, and we’ll guide you through the process.
5. Wearing with Care
To keep your jewellery in top condition:
- Like other precious jewellery, put on your jewellery after applying lotions, perfumes, or hairspray to avoid chemical exposure.
- Remove it before sleeping to prevent accidental pressure on delicate crochet designs.
- Handle with care, especially for intricate floral designs.
With proper care, micro crocheted jewellery can stay stunning for years. Our handcrafted pieces are delicate yet durable when treated with love and care. If you ever need assistance with reshaping or maintenance, feel free to reach out!
