How to Care for Silk Flower and Mother-of-Pearl Jewelry

The golden rules

1. Keep both dry. Remove before showering, swimming or heavy rain.
2. Spray perfume first, dress later. Alcohol dulls silk dye and shell sealant.
3. Store separately. Use the included boxes; never pile jewelry on top.

Chanhua silk flowers

• Dust with a soft, dry makeup brush
• If slightly crushed, hold over cool steam for 2 seconds and reshape gently
• Never wash; silk thread will loosen

Luodian shell inlay

• Wipe with a dry microfiber cloth after wear
• Avoid ultrasonic cleaners — they can lift shell pieces
• If sealant dulls after years, a thin clear nail lacquer refreshes the finish

Travel tip

Carry pieces in a padded hard case, flowers facing up. Your heritage jewelry is made to be worn — with a little care it becomes an heirloom.
