Black resin beads on a beige ribbon

Necklaces on string or ribbon with resin and gold-plated elements

• String or ribbon will fray over time – this is a natural consequence of use. Heavy wear, moisture, or friction against clothing accelerate this wear.
• Avoid soaking – contact with water, sweat and cosmetics weakens the structure of the string and may stretch or discolour it.
• The resin is hard but brittle – an impact or fall may cause it to crack.
• Gilding is a thin layer – it naturally wears off over time, especially in areas exposed to friction.
• Bracelets can get caught on clothing or other objects – pulling too hard can cause them to break.
• Mechanical damage, such as abrasions or tears caused by wear, does not constitute grounds for complaint.

Storage

• Store separately in a dry place, preferably in a soft bag or box.
• Moisture and light weaken the string and can affect the color of the resin and the durability of the gilding.

Cleaning

• Clean resin and gold-plated elements with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not use detergents, rough materials or sharp tools.
• Leave the string alone – do not wash, do not soak, do not rub vigorously.

Product characteristics

Cord or ribbon bracelets with resin and gold-plated elements require special care. The cord wears out over time, the resin cracks upon impact, and the gold plating wears off with wear. These are natural processes that conscious use can only slow down, not eliminate.
