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 when in contact with water, such as when showering, bathing or swimming.
Remove jewelry during physical activity to avoid scratches or wear.
Apply perfume, lotion, and hair products before putting on your jewelry. Chemicals can affect the finish of the metal and stones.
Storage
Store your jewelry in IOAKU's included jewelry box or a soft cloth bag to protect it from scratches.
Avoid letting the jewelry come into contact with other hard materials when not in use.
Cleaning
Clean the 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 crafted from brass or surgical stainless steel and are then plated with 5 layers of 100% genuine metal, either 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 stainless steel is a very durable and hard-wearing material. You should be able to bathe, shower and wash dishes 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?
Our jewelry can lose color if used irresponsibly and carelessly because it is costume jewelry. All our jewelry has 5 layers of real metals and is therefore very durable. However, costume jewelry has a tendency to be sensitive to chemicals, liquids with strong substances or irresponsible handling. Therefore, they have a lifespan that is entirely dependent on their 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 .
