Jewellery Care Instructions

You must follow these care instructions carefully, we at Afallon DNA Jewellery do not accept any liability for jewellery that discolours, or becomes damaged due to the customer not following these care instructions.

Please be aware that your jewellery piece is made from sterling silver, this may have a chemical reaction with your skin and cause it to tarnish. A silver polishing cloth can clear and prevent tarnish.

Your piece is a unique genetically laced piece of irreplaceable jewellery. All DNA / Breastmilk & Keepsake Inclusions are primarily resin based. Resin is a beautiful medium, that requires care instructions to be strictly followed.

We recommend that clients remove all DNA, Breastmilk & Keepsake Jewellery before bed, bathing, showering, water & physical activities. All jewellery should be stored away from natural light, heat sources, and in a protective (lined ) jewellery box or tarnish - resistant pouch. Do not store in the bathroom or areas of high moisture.  

Exposing your piece to harsh & prolonged periods or sunlight, perfume, oils, hairspray,   essential oils, cleaning products, chlorine, salt water & silver polish ( on the Resin component ) will dramatically affect the integrity of your piece. Please bare in mind that I use high quality resin, however all resin will gradually yellow over time. Exposure to UV will accelerate this process, so please store your jewellery out of direct sunlight and I recommend removing your piece before using UV light when having your nails done for example.

We recommend you remove your piece before using tanning solution, or hand sanitiser.

Cleaning Your Jewellery - A silver gold based polishing cloth maybe used on the metal aspects of your piece. It is vital that you don't clean the " Resin " component with these cloths. The Resin component can be cleaned with a soft plain cloth.  

Bumps and scrapes are sometimes unavoidable. If your resin piece becomes knocked or scratched please send us a photo and we can quote a repair. We are happy to provide recasts or repairs within 3 months if all advice is followed.

Storing your Jewellery - All jewellery should be stored away from natural light, heat sources, and in a protective (lined ) jewellery box or tarnish - resistant pouch. Do not store in the bathroom or areas of high moisture.
