Care instructions of IOAKU Jewelry & Accessories
IOAKU jewelry is created with care and love so that you can enjoy it for a long time. To preserve its beauty and durability, we recommend the following care instructions:
Daily use
Avoid wearing your jewelry in contact with water, such as when showering, bathing or swimming if it is made of brass.
Earrings should never be worn while bathing or showering to avoid getting the product caught in your hair or anything else that could cause damage to the ear.
Always remove jewelry during physical activity to avoid scratches or wear.
Apply perfume, lotion and hair products 15 minutes before putting on your jewelry. Chemicals and moisture can affect the finish of the metal and stones.
Only the jewelry marked on IOAKU.COM that has a base of " Stainless Steel - Water-resistant jewelry " can be used in the bath or shower.
If you use your other jewelry made of brass or surgical steel, it is at your own initiative and you are therefore aware that these will be destroyed upon contact with water, liquid and moisture.
Storage
Always store your jewelry in IOAKU's included jewelry box or in a soft fabric bag to protect it from scratches.
Avoid letting the jewelry come into contact with other hard materials when not in use to avoid scratches and blemishes.
Cleaning
Always clean your jewelry gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and fingerprints.
Do not use strong cleaning agents, silver polish or ultrasonic cleaning as this may damage the jewelry.
Specific materials
Fashion jewelry made of brass or surgical stainless steel with plating needs extra care to avoid wearing off the finish.
Crystals and stones : Wipe with a soft, damp cloth when necessary and avoid impacts that may damage the stones.
By following these simple care instructions, you can enjoy your IOAKU jewelry for a long time to come.
What material does IOAKU use in its jewellery?
All IOAKU products are either created from brass, surgical steel or stainless steel. They are then plated with 5 layers of 100% real metal of 18K Gold or Sterling Silver.
Brass is a wonderfully adjustable and detailed material. However, these products cannot withstand use where they come into contact with moisture, liquid or chemicals. This will speed up the process that corrodes the metal of Gold or Silver. Use all our products with caution and take good care of the product both before, during and after use.
Surgical steel is a very durable and safe material. You should always use this material in your ears if you are sensitive and want 100% allergy-free jewelry.
Stainless steel is a very durable and hard-wearing material. You should be able to bathe and shower with these products without any major impact. However, we always recommend that you take good care of your jewelry before, during and after use.
Is your jewelry losing its metallic color?
We recommend our jewelry made in stainless steel over jewelry made in brass if you are worried about your jewelry losing color.
Our jewelry, especially brass, will lose color if used irresponsibly and carelessly because it is costume jewelry.
While our stainless steel jewelry is plated in a different way that allows for a more durable and long-lasting finish. You can both bathe and shower with this jewelry.
All our jewelry has 5 layers of genuine metals and is therefore very durable and you get a lot for your money.
Costume jewelry tends to be sensitive to chemicals, liquids with strong substances or irresponsible handling, so we always recommend that you be careful and gentle with your products.
The lifespan of jewelry depends entirely on its owner and how well they take care of their jewelry.
My jewelery has broken, what do I do?
Unfortunately, it can always happen that a product that is handmade breaks. Handmade products are fragile and you must be careful with all IOAKU's products to ensure that you do not damage them during use. Here you can read more about repairs and complaints .
