Solenne Studio Jewelry Care
Keep every detail beautiful.
Solenne Studio jewelry combines decorative metalwork, textile elements, pearls, shell-inspired surfaces, natural stone, crystal and other carefully selected details. Because these materials respond differently to moisture, friction, cosmetics and storage conditions, thoughtful care can make a meaningful difference to the appearance and longevity of your earrings.
Handle Gently
Lift earrings by a secure metal area instead of pulling fabric or decorative components.
Store Separately
Prevent tangling, scratching and crushing by giving each pair its own protected space.
Clean Lightly
Use soft, dry tools and avoid aggressive soaking, scrubbing or chemical cleaners.
Everyday Routine
Small habits that help preserve color, shape and finish.
Jewelry care does not need to be complicated. A gentle routine before, during and after wear helps protect textile surfaces, reduce metal discoloration and prevent delicate components from becoming bent, tangled or scratched.
Finish your beauty routine first.
Apply skincare, sunscreen, foundation, perfume and hairspray before putting on your earrings. Allow products to dry fully so that moisture, oils and alcohol do not transfer directly onto the jewelry.
Reduce unnecessary contact.
Avoid repeatedly touching or twisting the earrings. Be mindful of scarves, high collars, headphones, hair accessories and bag straps, which may catch on long drops, tassels or wire details.
Remove oils with a soft cloth.
Gently wipe metal posts, hooks and smooth surfaces with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not rub dyed fabric, pearls or crystal settings aggressively.
Allow the pair to air briefly.
When earrings have been worn in warm weather, leave them in a clean, dry place for a short period before storing. This helps prevent residual moisture from becoming trapped inside a pouch or closed box.
Lay them flat and untangled.
Straighten chains, tassels and thread-wrapped components before storage. Do not fold, knot or compress long earrings beneath heavier jewelry.
Support the full design.
Hold larger earrings close to the finding or upper component when putting them on and taking them off. Pulling from the lowest decorative element may place stress on connecting rings or wire.
01
Blue-Dyed and Printed Textile Details
Textile components can absorb moisture, oil and fragrance more easily than smooth metal. They should not be soaked, washed under running water or treated with jewelry-cleaning liquids. Deep blue or gradient-dyed surfaces may also be sensitive to repeated friction.
- Dust lightly with a very soft, dry brush or clean air blower.
- Blot accidental moisture immediately with a dry white cloth.
- Do not rub the fabric when wet, as this may disturb the surface or encourage color transfer.
- Keep away from perfume, makeup, hand cream and hair products.
- Store away from direct sunlight to reduce long-term fading.
02
Freshwater Pearl, Mother-of-Pearl and Shell Details
Pearls and shell-derived surfaces are valued for their natural luster, but they may be affected by acids, chemicals, abrasion and impact. Natural variations in shape, texture and color are normal characteristics rather than flaws.
- Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth only when necessary, then dry immediately.
- Never use abrasive polishing cloths directly on pearl or shell.
- Avoid vinegar, lemon, alcohol, bleach, ultrasonic cleaners and commercial metal dip.
- Protect pearls from being dropped onto tile or other hard surfaces.
- Store separately to prevent harder jewelry from scratching the surface.
03
Metal Findings and S925 Silver Needle Styles
Metal components can naturally change in appearance over time due to air, humidity, skin chemistry, sweat and product residue. The rate of change varies from person to person and does not always indicate a manufacturing issue.
- Wipe the post or hook after wear with a clean, dry cloth.
- Use a small polishing cloth only on accessible smooth metal areas.
- Avoid pulling, bending or repeatedly adjusting thin posts and wire components.
- Keep metal parts dry and store them in a low-humidity space.
- Do not apply liquid polish near fabric, pearl, stone, glue or thread-wrapped details.
04
Natural Stone, Crystal and Rhinestone Accents
Stone and crystal components may be attached with prongs, wire, adhesive or a combination of methods. Excessive soaking can affect settings, while hard impact can chip, loosen or scratch decorative surfaces.
- Remove surface dust with a soft, dry cosmetic brush.
- Use a cotton swab that is barely damp for isolated marks, then dry immediately.
- Never scrub around the edges of a set stone.
- Do not use steam or ultrasonic cleaning equipment.
- Inspect settings periodically and stop wearing the piece if a component feels loose.
05
Wooden Components
Wood responds to moisture and temperature. Prolonged exposure can change its shape, finish or surface texture. Natural grain and color variation contribute to the character of wooden jewelry.
- Keep wood away from water, steam and high-humidity bathrooms.
- Wipe with a dry cloth rather than washing.
- Do not apply household oils unless specifically recommended for the finished component.
- Store flat and avoid placing heavy objects on top.
- Keep away from heaters, windowsills and strong direct sun.
06
Tassels, Wrapped Wire and Thread Details
Long tassels and thread-based elements create movement but may become tangled or bent when compressed. Wirework can also lose its intended shape if repeatedly twisted.
- Smooth tassels gently with clean, dry fingers.
- Use light steam only at a safe distance and only when no sensitive material could be affected.
- Never pull individual threads to straighten a tassel.
- Lay wirework flat and do not force it into a new shape.
- Separate long earrings so chains and tassels cannot knot together.
Gentle Cleaning
Use the least moisture and pressure necessary.
Many artistic earrings combine several materials within one design. A cleaning method that is safe for one component may damage another. For this reason, avoid soaking the entire piece. Clean only the area that needs attention and protect surrounding fabric, thread, pearl and decorative settings.
Begin with dry dust removal.
Use a soft brush, microfiber cloth or clean air blower to remove loose particles before introducing any moisture.
Spot clean only when needed.
Lightly dampen the corner of a white cloth or cotton swab. It should feel barely moist rather than wet.
Test an inconspicuous area.
Before touching visible fabric or a coated surface, test the method on a small hidden area whenever possible.
Blot instead of scrubbing.
Use gentle pressing movements. Repeated rubbing can disturb fibers, remove finish or move pigment across a textile surface.
Dry completely before storage.
Leave the piece in a clean, shaded and well-ventilated area. Do not use a hair dryer or place it near direct heat.
What to Avoid
Common sources of damage and discoloration.
Many jewelry-care problems happen gradually rather than in a single moment. Repeated exposure to moisture, cosmetics or friction can alter color and finish over time, even when no immediate change is visible.
Water and Steam
Remove earrings before showering, bathing, swimming, visiting a sauna or entering a steam room. Water can affect fabric, wood, metal finish, adhesive and thread.
Perfume and Cosmetics
Alcohol, oils, pigments and active ingredients may stain textiles, reduce luster or contribute to discoloration. Apply products before wearing jewelry.
Exercise and Sweat
Perspiration contains salts and oils that may affect metal and dyed surfaces. Remove jewelry before workouts, sports and strenuous outdoor activity.
Sleeping in Earrings
Pressure against bedding can bend posts, crush tassels, distort wirework or pull connecting rings. Remove statement earrings before sleeping.
Household Chemicals
Keep jewelry away from bleach, disinfectant, cleaning sprays, detergent, hairspray, hand sanitizer and other chemical products.
Direct Sunlight
Extended exposure may gradually fade dyed fabric and affect some natural materials. Store jewelry away from sunny windowsills.
Heavy Pressure
Do not place books, boxes or heavier jewelry over earrings. Pressure can flatten dimensional flowers, bend frames and damage decorative settings.
Aggressive Cleaning
Avoid soaking, ultrasonic machines, steam cleaners, hard brushes, abrasive cloths and all-purpose jewelry dips unless the product is confirmed safe for every material in the design.
Store gently · wear beautifully
Proper Storage
Give each pair room to keep its original shape.
Careful storage protects jewelry between wears. The ideal space is clean, dry, shaded and away from large temperature changes. For designs that combine fabric, pearl, wood or tassels, a soft and breathable storage solution is often preferable to an airtight container used in a damp environment.
Separate individual pairs
Use divided jewelry boxes, separate pouches or individual compartments to prevent scratching and tangling.
Keep earrings flat or supported
Dimensional flowers, tassels and long geometric drops should not be folded or compressed.
Choose a low-humidity location
Avoid bathrooms, windowsills, kitchens and other areas exposed to moisture, heat or steam.
Use clean, soft materials
Make sure fabric pouches and jewelry trays are free from makeup, perfume, dust and residual moisture.
Close or cover the storage area
A covered jewelry box can reduce dust and limit exposure to sunlight while still protecting the shape of the piece.
Inspect before long-term storage
Check that posts are dry, chains are untangled and no component is loose before putting the jewelry away.
Troubleshooting
What to do when your jewelry needs extra attention.
Stop wearing a piece if it becomes structurally damaged, catches on clothing or has a loose component. Gentle observation is safer than attempting a forceful repair at home.
A post looks bent
Do not repeatedly bend it back and forth, as metal fatigue may cause breakage.
Recommended action: Stop wearing the earring and contact us with a clear close-up photograph.
A tassel looks uneven
Gently smooth the fibers with clean fingers and allow the earring to hang freely.
Recommended action: Avoid trimming immediately, since cutting can permanently change the length or fullness.
Fabric became damp
Blot the area with a dry white cloth without rubbing or twisting the material.
Recommended action: Air-dry flat in shade and keep away from direct heat.
Metal looks less bright
Surface changes can result from air, humidity, skin oils, sweat or product residue.
Recommended action: Use a soft polishing cloth on accessible metal only, avoiding fabric and decorative surfaces.
A stone or pearl feels loose
Continuing to wear the earring may increase the chance of losing the component.
Recommended action: Place the piece in a protected container and contact our team before attempting adhesive repair.
The earrings are tangled
Pulling chains or thread may tighten the knot and place stress on connecting rings.
Recommended action: Place the pair on a flat surface and loosen the tangle gradually with clean fingers.
Travel Care
Pack artistic earrings without crushing or tangling them.
Statement jewelry can travel safely when each pair is protected from pressure and movement. Avoid placing earrings loose inside a handbag or suitcase, where they may rub against keys, cosmetics, zippers and harder accessories.
Choose a structured jewelry case.
A firm outer shell helps prevent larger decorative shapes from being crushed during transit.
Separate each pair.
Use small pouches or divided compartments so hooks, chains and tassels cannot become intertwined.
Place posts through a soft card.
For suitable designs, a padded jewelry card can help protect posts and keep pairs together.
Keep cosmetics in another bag.
Perfume, makeup, sunscreen and lotion should not share an unprotected compartment with jewelry.
Unpack soon after arrival.
Lay long earrings flat or hang them safely so tassels and chains can return to their natural position.
Jewelry Care FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
The safest care method is always the gentlest method compatible with every material in the design. When uncertain, contact us before cleaning.
Can I wear my earrings in the shower?
We recommend removing them before showering. Water, steam, shampoo, soap and conditioner may affect metal finishes, dyed fabric, wood, adhesive, pearl surfaces and thread details.
Can I use a standard liquid jewelry cleaner?
Not on mixed-material earrings unless the cleaner is confirmed safe for every component. Many commercial cleaners are designed for solid metal jewelry and may damage fabric, pearls, shell, stone, coatings, glue or thread.
Why has the metal changed color?
Air, humidity, skin chemistry, sweat, perfume, cosmetics and storage conditions may gradually affect metal appearance. Wiping metal surfaces after wear and keeping them dry can help reduce this process.
How should I clean the earring post?
Wipe the post gently with a clean, dry cloth after wear. When additional cleaning is necessary, use a method appropriate for the post material while preventing liquid from touching nearby fabric, pearl, stone or adhesive.
Can I wash textile earrings with soap?
Washing or soaking is not recommended. Soap can leave residue, move dye, affect texture or reach internal connecting areas. Use gentle dry dust removal and limited spot cleaning only when necessary.
How can I prevent long earrings from tangling?
Store each pair separately and lay chains or tassels in their natural direction. Avoid placing multiple long earrings in the same small pouch.
Can I sleep while wearing lightweight earrings?
We recommend removing all decorative earrings before sleeping. Pressure and movement may bend posts, distort wire shapes, damage components or cause the earrings to catch on bedding.
What should I do if my earrings get wet?
Remove them promptly, blot gently with a dry white cloth and leave them to air-dry in shade. Do not twist textile elements or use a hair dryer, radiator or other direct heat source.
Are natural variations considered defects?
Subtle differences in pearls, shell, stone, wood, fabric pattern, dye distribution and handcrafted shaping are generally natural characteristics. Structural damage or missing components should be photographed and reported separately.
Who should I contact for care assistance?
