Handmade jewelry is a small work of art – often created with love, precision and a sense of uniqueness. That's why it deserves a little extra care. At More Malmo you will find, among other things, Madamlili's rose jewelry , whose colorful roses are both durable and timelessly beautiful. Here I share my best tips for how to make your jewelry last – and shine – year after year.
1. Store them correctly
Light, heat and humidity can affect both colour and shape. Store your jewellery in a dry, cool place – preferably in a jewellery box or a cloth bag that protects against sunlight and dust. Do not pile jewellery together where it can scratch each other.
2. Protect them from water and perfume
Although some jewelry is durable, it is best not to come into contact with water, perfume, hairspray or skin cream. Put your jewelry on last – after makeup, styling and perfume – and take it off before showering, exercising or sleeping.
3. Clean gently
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe your jewelry to remove any dirt or fingerprints. Avoid harsh cleaning agents, especially on delicate materials. If your jewelry is made of metal, you can use a polishing cloth designed for that material.
4. Let them rest sometimes
Just like clothes, jewelry does well when not worn every day. If you rotate your favorites, they will stay beautiful longer. Madamlili's roses, for example, are hardy but look their best when they are given a day of rest every now and then.
5. Fix – don’t throw away!
A piece of jewelry with a broken clasp or a loose stone can often be repaired. Ask if you are unsure – sometimes it can be fixed with simple means. Taking care of what you have is not only sustainable, it also gives the jewelry a longer history to wear.
Jewelry is more than just accessories – it’s memories, expressions and little treasures. With a little care, your favorites can live on for years to come.
