Congratulations on your beautiful new piece! Your lanyard or bracelet is handcrafted with natural gemstones and high-quality metal components. To ensure your jewelry remains beautiful and vibrant for years to come, please follow these simple care guidelines.

General Daily Wear Tips

My jewelry is designed for regular, professional wear, but it should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off each day.

1. Avoid Chemicals: Remove your jewelry before using hand sanitizer, household cleaning products, or before swimming (especially in chlorinated pools or saltwater). Chemicals can permanently damage the metal finish and dull the natural luster of the gemstones.
2. Avoid Moisture: Remove your jewelry before showering, exercising (sweating), or entering saunas/hot tubs. Excessive moisture can accelerate tarnishing on plated components.
3. Apply Last: Put on your jewelry only after applying perfumes, lotions, hairspray, or makeup.

Gemstone and Beaded Care

Natural gemstones, while durable, require gentle handling:

• Cleaning: Gently wipe your gemstones and beads with a soft, lint-free cloth (like a microfiber cloth). Never use chemical cleaners, harsh scrubbing, or ultrasonic jewelry cleaners, as these can damage softer stones or compromise the beading wire.
• Storage: When you're not wearing your piece, store it away from direct sunlight in a dry place. This protects the gemstones and keeps the beading wire from being unnecessarily stretched.
• Handling: Treat your lanyard and bracelet with the same care as fine jewelry. Avoid dropping the piece on hard surfaces, as some natural stones can chip or crack upon impact.

Caring for Plated and Stainless Steel Metals

Your lanyards and bracelets feature various metal components, including strong plated metals and stainless steel.

• Plated Jewelry: Plated metals naturally age over time. To maximize the life of the plating, keep it dry and clean (as noted above) and polish very gently only when needed. Heavy polishing will rub away the plating layer.
• Stainless Steel: Components made of stainless steel are highly resistant to tarnish and are excellent for daily wear. While more durable, they should still be kept away from harsh chemicals to maintain their shine.

If any metal component ever needs a tweak or repair, please remember I offer a Lifetime Minor Repair Assurance—just check my Care & Repair Policy for details!

My Commitment: Handmade with Heart

I put my heart into every piece I create—from my genuine gemstone lanyards to my comfortable bracelets—and I carefully check the quality before it reaches you. I'm a small, one-person shop, and your satisfaction is my highest priority!

My Lifetime Minor Repair Assurance

I take genuine pride in every piece I handcraft, and I genuinely want to keep you happy with your Sacred Sol Design purchase. If your piece ever needs any minor tweaks, adjustments, or runs into any issues at all due to regular wear and tear, please don't hesitate to reach out!

I'm happy to make repairs or tweaks so your Sacred Sol Design piece is absolutely perfect for you.

What this covers:

1. Broken clasps, re-crimp/re-knotting of the beading wire.
2. Minor length adjustments.
3. Simple replacements for missing accent beads.

What this does not cover:

1. Loss of the entire piece.
2. Replacement of major focal gemstones.
3. Damage that occurs outside of regular, gentle use.

• This includes: Significant damage due to misuse, such as attaching items that are too heavy for the lanyard to support (causing the beading wire to stretch or break)
• Damage from sudden force (e.g., catching the piece on a door, desk, or other object that results in a significant, sudden yanking motion).

Process:

Just email me at: SacredSolDesign@yahoo.com.

• Include your original order number and a quick photo of the issue so I can see exactly what's going on.
• I'll get back to you right away to arrange the repair details.

My goal is to ensure your piece remains a cherished item for years to come!
