Jewellery Care

Terra Decode jewellery preserves real flowers and plants in delicate handmade designs. Natural botanicals and resin can change gradually with time, light and wear. Thoughtful care will help protect your piece.

Keep it dry

Remove jewellery before showering, bathing, swimming, exercising, washing hands or sleeping. Do not soak pieces or expose them to repeated humidity.

Avoid chemicals

Apply perfume, hairspray, lotion, sunscreen, alcohol-based products and cosmetics before putting on your jewellery. Allow products to dry fully and avoid direct contact with resin, botanicals and metal components.

Protect from heat and sunlight

Store away from prolonged direct sunlight, heaters, hot vehicles and extreme temperatures. Natural flowers and resin may gradually change colour or clarity when exposed to UV light and heat.

Handle gently

Do not bend, twist, drop or place heavy objects on the jewellery. Hold a piece by its metal setting or chain where possible rather than pulling the preserved botanical element.

Cleaning

Wipe gently with a clean, dry, soft cloth. Do not use ultrasonic cleaners, abrasive cloths, jewellery dips, solvents, alcohol or chemical cleaning products unless a product listing specifically confirms they are suitable.

Storage

Store each piece separately in a dry jewellery box or soft pouch to reduce scratching, tangling and pressure. Keep necklaces fastened and laid flat where possible. Avoid storing in bathrooms or other humid areas.

Natural ageing

Real flowers, resin, pearls, shells and plated metals may develop subtle changes over time. This natural ageing is part of the character of botanical jewellery and is not normally considered a defect.

Repairs

If a piece is accidentally damaged, contact TerraDecode@Outlook.com with photographs. Repair availability and cost depend on the design, materials and damage. Because flowers are unique, an exact botanical match cannot be guaranteed.
