Care Guide

Jewellery Care & Gentle Wear

Every piece from The Quiet Fairy Shop is handmade with care using elastic cord, glass and crystal beads, and stainless steel components. I always do my best to use high-quality materials and improve my designs with every piece. Many of my designs are made with elastic cord, which may gently stretch over time — this is a normal part of its life. I pre-stretch strings to help prevent breakage and loosening.

Materials Overview:

  • Stainless Steel: durable and resistant to tarnish.

  • Gold Pieces: plated using PVD, lasting up to a couple of years before gently fading to stainless steel.

  • Copper Core Pieces: a few items may use copper core due to supplier availability; these may tarnish faster if not cared for.

  • Glass & Crystal Beads: carefully selected to sparkle and delight; they may chip or crack if dropped or knocked.

Caring for your pieces:

  • Keep jewellery away from water — avoid showers, swimming, or bathing while wearing it.

  • Avoid harsh chemicals, perfumes, or sprays in direct contact with your pieces.

  • Remove jewellery before exercising to prevent excessive stretching or sweat damage.

  • Take off jewellery before sleeping.

  • Handle gently; do not pull or tug roughly, as elastic may snap or metal wire may bend.

  • Avoid dropping or hitting your jewellery against hard surfaces.

  • Store pieces safely in a pouch or small box to protect them.

Cleaning:

  • Each piece comes with a soft microfiber cloth for gently wiping and keeping your jewellery sparkling.

With a little attention and care, your jewellery can remain beautiful and durable for years to come. ✨
