Creapiece: Guarding Your Unique Radiance
Fine jewelry is inherently delicate. Gentle care helps every natural stone and precious metal keep its luster over time.
Every Creapiece piece is meticulously crafted with precious metals and natural gemstones. Like all beautiful things, it needs thoughtful habits and careful storage to remain luminous.
The Golden Rule: "Last On, First Off"
Chemicals are the enemy of gold-plated jewelry and natural gemstones. To protect your pieces, make it a habit to put them on last before you head out, and take them off as soon as you return home.
Please allow perfume, lotion, or hairspray to dry completely before wearing your bracelets.
We recommend removing your jewelry before intense exercise. Natural body oils and sweat can accelerate metal oxidation and affect the brilliance of your stones.
Water & Elements
While our gemstones have some natural resistance, prolonged exposure to liquids can weaken the gold plating and impact the integrity of the elastic cord.
Always remove your jewelry before swimming, soaking in a spa, or showering. Chlorine and saltwater are particularly harsh on gold-plated finishes.
When not being worn, store your jewelry away from direct sunlight. Some gemstones, such as amethyst and rose quartz, may fade if exposed to prolonged, intense sunlight.
How to Wear: The Roll Technique
To ensure the elastic cord of your bracelet lasts for years, avoid unnecessary pulling or overstretching.
Gently roll the bracelet onto your wrist rather than pulling it open directly.
Rolling minimizes tension on the elastic fibers, preventing them from fatiguing or deforming over time, and helps preserve a comfortable fit day after day.
Cleaning & Storage
After wear, gently wipe your bracelet with a soft, dry cloth, such as a lens cloth, to remove skin oils and dust. Strictly avoid chemical jewelry cleaners or ultrasonic machines, as these may damage the gemstones.
It is natural for sterling silver components to oxidize slightly over time. Simply wipe them gently with a silver polishing cloth to restore their shine.
Oxygen and humidity are primary causes of tarnishing. When not in use, store your Creapiece jewelry in a cool, dry, and dark place.
Jewelry Care FAQ
Why does my gold-plated jewelry eventually show a silver color?
Creapiece uses a gold vermeil process, where a thick layer of gold is plated over a solid sterling silver base. Over time, frequent wear or exposure to chemicals and water can cause the gold layer to gradually thin, revealing the silver beneath. Following the keep-it-dry principle helps significantly delay this process.
Can I wear my jewelry while sleeping?
We recommend removing your jewelry before sleep. Wearing jewelry to bed can cause unnecessary tension on the elastic cord and increase friction against bedding, which may lead to wear on metal surfaces.
