Care & Keeping

Each bracelet is made to last, and a little care keeps it looking its best. Here is how to wear, clean, and store yours.

Putting it on.

Roll each bracelet on gently, easing it over your knuckles — every piece takes hours to make, so there is no need to rush. It should not feel tight once it is on. If it does, a larger size may suit you better; just reach out.

Cleaning gold-filled and rose gold.

From time to time the beads may want refreshing. Wash gently with warm water and a little soap, put the bracelet on, and clap your hands a few times to release any water caught in the beads.

Cleaning sterling silver.

Use a silver polish cream. Roll the bracelet over spread fingers to hold it firm, apply a minimal amount of cream to a sponge, and rub gently along the beads until they shine.

Storing your bracelets.

For everyday, keep each piece in the ultra-suede pouch it arrived in. For longer storage, an anti-tarnish flannel pouch made for silver is best; a zip-top bag works in a pinch.

Repairs.

If a bracelet ever needs mending, email a photo to ann@kathrynanndesigns.com and Kathryn will take it from there.
