· Keep your jewellery away from chemicals, oils and makeup. It’s a good idea to always put on your jewellery last, after applying makeup, hairspray and perfumes. When doing chores, take off the jewellery as the chemicals in soaps, detergents and cleaners can impact the plating & the resin article.

· It’s a good idea to keep your hands clean when handling the jewellery, so try to wash them before putting on and taking off your jewellery.

· Don’t expose the jewellery to chlorinated or salty water. This means taking off the jewellery before swimming in pools, hot tubs or the sea.

· Body oils and sweat can impact the jewellery. To counter this, wipe the jewellery down with a soft cloth to get rid of these pollutants.

· Avoid brushing or rubbing the jewellery, as this can make the plating flake exposing the metal below, and cause scratches on the botanical fossil.

· Keep the jewellery away from rubbing and friction as this will cause the piece to wear down quickly. This can happen when you layer the jewellery and they rub against each other. It’s best to wear the piece of jewellery by itself.

· Keep all articles away from direct sunlight as strong sunlight is a natural bleaching agent, can cause the botanicals to lose color over time and can cause the resin to yellow faster than usual.

· Prevent early discoloration of the resin piece by limiting exposure to sunlight, heat and moisture. Store all ShopKuhoo articles in a cool, dark and dry place. Ideally in a dark box inside a plastic baggie to avoid damage from moisture and sunlight.

· Store the articles individually to avoid abrasion.
