Product Care

Each piece of Benatra Jewelry is hand-crafted by talented artisans and often contains unique, semi-precious stones.  Our brass based jewelry is plated with the highest quality gold and/or rhodium, and we recommend handling with care, as you would fine jewelry.

 

Maintenance

To maintain the quality of your jewelry, please take care to gently wipe with a jewelry cloth after each wear and store in its dust bag or jewelry box.  Excessive polishing is not recommended.  As with all plated jewelry, normal wear and tear, moisture, and exposure to chemicals (such as sea or pool water, lotions, perfumes, etc.) may cause tarnishing or oxidation of the metals, resulting in transference to the skin.  To avoid this, we recommend a light coating or clear nail lacquer inside ring as a preventative measure or resolution.

Exceptional care has been taken in creating your jewellery.  To protect it and contribute to its longevity, there are a few tips to follow.

 

Storage

Store your jewellery separately and materials can scratch when they come into contact with each other.  Do not let your jewellery come into contact with household detergents or other checmical products and take care when spraying perfume.

 

Stainless Steel Jewellery

Stainless steel has a high resistance to corrosion or rusting associated with exposure to water and humidity.  Regular cleaning with a soft cloth is all that is needed as stainless steel does not oxidize or tarnish.

 

Leather

Our leather is hand finished to create supple but hardwearing leather.  With the correct care and treatment is should last a long time. If your item gets wet for any reason, blot the spill or water and allow to dry naturally.  Do not expose it to direct sunlight or heat as this may cause the color to face.  Cleaning should be restricted to a dry cloth.  We would advise against the use of cleaning products containing alcohol or solvents.  Everyday use may cause smudges to patent leather but will wipe clean with a soft, dry or damp cloth.  When not in use, leather items should be stored in their original packaging.
