Jewelry Care | Preserving Your Talisman
Your Noctisa piece is crafted to be a personal talisman, designed with a specific dark, romantic aesthetic. Because I deliberately use vintage-inspired finishes, repurposed components, and non-precious metals to achieve that moody Baroque and Gothic character, your jewelry requires a little mindfulness to maintain its original allure.
Please follow these care instructions to ensure your piece ages beautifully alongside you:
-
Keep It Dry: Moisture is the natural enemy of antiqued finishes. Please remove your jewelry before bathing, swimming, exercising, or walking in heavy rain. Water and sweat can accelerate the natural oxidation process of the metals.
-
Beware of Potions: Apply your perfumes, body lotions, cosmetics, and hairsprays before putting on your jewelry. Wait for them to dry completely. The chemicals in these daily products can tarnish the metal and alter the champagne, hematite, or deep grey tones of the stones.
-
Rest in the Shadows: When you are not wearing your piece, keep it away from direct sunlight and high humidity. Store it safely inside its original Noctisa packaging, a soft pouch, or a closed jewelry box.
-
Gentle Polishing Only: After wearing, gently wipe your jewelry with a soft, dry cloth to remove any natural skin oils. Never use chemical jewelry cleaners, sonic cleaners, or abrasive polishing cloths. These will strip away the deliberate dark patina and shadows that give your piece its vintage soul.
-
Handle with Tenderness: Chokers and pieces with delicate vintage components should not be bent forcefully or pulled tightly. Treat them as wearable art.
