Jewelry & Orchid
Care Tips
Your treasures are designed to be enjoyed for years to come. Whether you own a piece of authentic Dominican Larimar, Dominican Amber, real orchid jewelry preserved in resin, or a living orchid, proper care will help maintain its natural beauty.Below you'll find simple care instructions for each collection.
Larimar Care
Authentic Larimar is a rare gemstone found only in the Dominican Republic. Although durable enough for everyday enjoyment, it is a relatively soft natural stone and should be treated with care.
Caring for Your Larimar Jewelry
​
-
Remove jewelry before swimming, showering, or exercising.
-
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as excessive UV exposure may gradually fade the stone's beautiful blue color over many years.
-
Keep away from perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, household cleaners, and harsh chemicals.
-
Avoid dropping or striking the stone against hard surfaces.
-
Wipe gently with a soft microfiber or jewelry polishing cloth after wearing.
-
Store separately in a soft pouch or jewelry box to prevent scratches.
Avoid
​
-
Ultrasonic cleaners
-
Steam cleaners
-
Bleach or chemical cleaners
-
Abrasive polishing compounds
-
Long periods in extreme heat

Dominican Amber is fossilized tree resin formed over millions of years. While incredibly beautiful and lightweight, amber is softer than many gemstones and benefits from gentle handling.
Caring for Your Amber Jewelry

Clean using a soft, slightly damp cloth.
-
Dry immediately after cleaning.
-
Store away from harder jewelry to prevent scratches.

-
Extreme temperatures
-
Sharp impacts
With proper care, Dominican Amber will maintain its natural warmth and brilliant glow for generations.
Real Orchid Jewelry in Resin Care
Each orchid jewelry piece contains a genuine flower that has been carefully preserved in crystal-clear resin. Because every flower is natural, no two pieces are exactly alike.
Caring for Resin Jewelry
​
-
Wipe gently with a soft microfiber cloth.
-
Store in a cool, dry location.
-
Remove before swimming, bathing, or exercising.
-
Avoid scratching the resin against rough surfaces.

Handle with care to prevent accidental drops.
Avoid
​

Harsh cleaning chemicals
-
Alcohol-based cleaners
-
Acetone or nail polish remover
-
Abrasive cloths or polishing compounds
Proper care helps preserve both the clarity of the resin and the beauty of the natural flower inside.
Metal Jewelry Care
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is durable, corrosion-resistant, and ideal for everyday wear. With minimal care, it can maintain its shine for years.
Caring for Stainless Steel
​
-
Clean with warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth.
-
Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
-
Polish occasionally with a jewelry cloth.

Store separately to reduce surface scratches.

​

​

Put jewelry on after applying perfume, lotion, makeup, or hairspray.
-
Remove before showering, swimming, exercising, or sleeping.
-
Wipe gently with a soft cloth after each wear.

Store in a soft pouch or jewelry box away from moisture and humidity.
Avoid
​

Jewelry cleaners intended for solid gold
Over time, gold plating naturally wears with regular use. Gentle care will help keep your jewelry looking beautiful for as long as possible.
Caring For Your Live Orchids
Orchids are surprisingly easy to care for once you understand their natural growing habits. With the right balance of light, water, and airflow, they can bloom beautifully year after year.
Light
Provide bright, indirect sunlight. An east-facing window is ideal, while south- or west-facing windows may require a sheer curtain to filter intense afternoon sun.
​
Water
​
Water only when the potting medium begins to dry. Most orchids need watering about once a week, though this may vary depending on temperature, humidity, and the type of orchid.
Always allow excess water to drain completely. Never let the roots sit in standing water.
Humidity
Orchids enjoy moderate humidity, ideally between 40–70%. If your home is particularly dry, consider placing the pot near a humidity tray or using a humidifier.
Temperature
Most orchids thrive in temperatures between 65–80°F (18–27°C) during the day with slightly cooler nights.
Fertilizer
Feed with a balanced orchid fertilizer at quarter to half strength every two to four weeks during active growth. Reduce feeding while the plant is resting.
Repotting
Repot every one to two years, or whenever the growing medium begins to break down. Always use a quality orchid bark mix designed specifically for orchids.
Encouraging Reblooming
After flowering, continue providing bright indirect light, regular watering, and occasional fertilizer. Many orchids bloom again once they have completed their natural resting period.
What to Avoid for Live Orchids
-
Direct afternoon sunlight
-
Overwatering
-
Allowing roots to sit in standing water
-
Ice cubes for watering
-
Heavy garden soil
-
Poor air circulation
-
Sudden temperature changes
-
Over-fertilizing
