Molico jewelry is designed to bring character to the everyday. Thoughtful care will help preserve its color, finish, shape, and distinctive details.
Keep Your Jewelry Dry
Remove your jewelry before:
- Showering
- Swimming
- Exercising
- Sleeping
- Washing your hands
- Entering saunas or steam rooms
Repeated exposure to water and moisture may affect plating, metal finishes, adhesives, stones, pearls, and decorative details.
Avoid Direct Contact with Chemicals
Perfume, lotion, sunscreen, hairspray, cosmetics, cleaning products, and hand sanitizer may cause discoloration or damage.
Follow the simple rule:
Last on, first off.
Put your jewelry on after applying beauty products and remove it before changing clothes, bathing, or sleeping.
Store Each Piece Separately
Store your jewelry in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
Use a soft pouch, lined jewelry box, or separate compartment to help prevent:
- Scratching
- Tangling
- Tarnishing
- Chipping
- Bent posts or chains
Avoid storing jewelry in bathrooms or other humid areas.
Clean Gently
After wearing, wipe the piece with a soft, clean, dry cloth.
Do not use:
- Abrasive polishing cloths
- Toothpaste
- Alcohol
- Bleach
- Household cleaning products
- Chemical jewelry dips
- Rough brushes
Unless a product page specifically states otherwise, do not soak Molico jewelry in water.
Caring for Plated Jewelry
Plated finishes naturally change over time depending on skin chemistry, humidity, frequency of wear, and contact with water or cosmetics.
To extend the life of the finish:
- Avoid water and perspiration
- Store the piece separately
- Wipe it after every wear
- Rotate your jewelry rather than wearing the same piece every day
Gradual changes to plated finishes are considered normal wear rather than a manufacturing defect.
Caring for Pearls and Shell Details
Pearls, faux pearls, mother of pearl, and natural shell should be handled gently.
Keep them away from perfume, water, acids, and harsh cleaners.
Use only a soft, dry cloth and avoid rubbing the surface too firmly.
Caring for Natural Stones
Natural stones may contain variations in color, pattern, transparency, and texture.
Avoid impact, sudden temperature changes, and chemical cleaners.
These natural variations are not defects and make every piece slightly different.
Caring for Rings
Remove rings before washing your hands, applying lotion, cleaning, exercising, or handling heavy objects.
Avoid forcing adjustable rings open and closed repeatedly, as this may weaken the metal.
Caring for Necklaces and Bracelets
Lay chains flat or hang them separately to prevent knots.
Always open the clasp before putting on or removing the piece. Avoid pulling directly on the chain.
Caring for Earrings
Store earrings in pairs and protect posts from bending.
Hold the main body of the earring rather than pulling decorative stones or hanging elements.
Caring for Brooches
Open and close brooch clasps gently.
Attach brooches to stable fabric and avoid pulling them directly from clothing while the pin is closed.
For delicate materials, test placement before wearing to reduce the risk of fabric marks.
A Note on Everyday Wear
Molico jewelry is fashion jewelry and should be treated with care.
Normal wear, fading, scratches, oxidation, and changes caused by moisture, chemicals, storage, or individual skin chemistry are not considered manufacturing defects.
With gentle handling, your pieces can remain part of your collection for longer.
