In jewelry wich flowersI often use japanese air-dry non-toxic polymer clay. Polymer clay jewelry is not fragile, they are flexible, lightweight and hypoallergenic.
Here is a basic guide for taking care of polymer clay flower decorations that will help you properly care:
1. Jewelry from air-dry clay is not waterproof, so I highly recommend you to prevent direct contact with water like swimming, bathing or walking in the rain. If it happens, just let them dry, don’t wipe.
2. Cleaning your jewelry regular can keep it looking like new. Clean it with a dry brush or a dry napkin. If your accessories become too dirty, you can gently clean them with a cotton swab soaked in a small amount of water and re-dry it with napkin.
3. Accessories for hair with flowers store in a box, it protects them from dust and mechanical damage.
Jewelry with flowers should be stored from each other, in individual packages (zip-package), where the products are protected from contact with aggressive environment, in a place inaccessible to small children and pets.
4. Cosmetics, hairspray, perfumes and lotion can contain chemicals that can often damage your accessories. Put jewelry on after applying these materials.
5. Protect jewelry from mechanical effects if the temperature is lower than 10°C (50°F), when the temperature is low, the material gets hard and it’s easy to break, but it’s flexibility renews in a warm place.
6. Wear your jewelry with care, don’t wear it under outerwear.
