In order to help your lacquer art collection maintain its excellent style forever, the following comprehensive and detailed maintenance policy is specially formulated:
1. Characteristics of Lacquer and Basic Maintenance Principles
Lacquer, as a globally recognized top-quality anti-corrosion and wear-resistant natural coating, has outstanding chemical and physical properties. With the passage of time, its stability becomes more and more significant, and it remains as good as new for a long time. However, even if the wear resistance of lacquer is relatively prominent, it should still be carefully avoided from collision or friction with sharp and hard objects with a Mohs hardness greater than 6. It is recommended that you do not wear lacquer art products when bathing, sleeping, participating in sports activities, or engaging in other activities that may cause collisions or friction, so as to avoid irreparable damage.
Shi Jiang Lacquer Art products are all made of natural materials and carefully crafted by hand. It is normal for them to have slight differences and hand-made traces, which is precisely the display of their unique charm and precious value. To ensure that the products maintain their beauty and quality for a long time, please take care of them carefully.
2. Daily Maintenance Points
(1) Waterproof and Sun Protection
Although lacquer has a certain degree of water and sun resistance, long-term soaking in water or being exposed to the sun may still cause damage to it. Especially for lacquer products with wood as the base, excessive soaking in water is very likely to cause cracking and deformation. Therefore, please be sure to avoid placing the product in water or direct sunlight for a long time. In daily use, if it is rainy, the lacquer art products should be properly stored; when the outdoor sun is strong, try to reduce the time the products are exposed to the sun.
(2) Cleaning and Wiping
For daily maintenance, it is recommended that you use a clean, soft cotton cloth to gently wipe the surface of the product to keep it clean. During the process of playing with and wearing lacquer beads, they will become more and more moist and shiny due to the nourishment of human body oil. For deep cleaning, you can use a slightly damp soft towel to gently wipe it, but you must not use cleaning agents, disinfectants or alcohol containing chemical substances, so as to avoid irreversible damage to the lacquer surface. When wiping, pay attention to the strength to be gentle, and wipe along the direction of the lacquer surface texture to avoid scratching the lacquer surface.
(3) Anti-collision and Scratching
Lacquer art products are delicate in texture. During the process of playing with and daily use, be sure to be careful and avoid collision or friction with hard objects, so as to prevent the surface from being scratched or the paint from falling off. When storing, try to store them separately in special storage boxes. If you need to store multiple lacquer art products at the same time, you should use soft cloth to separate them to provide them with comprehensive protection. For example, you can use silk or pure cotton cloth bags to wrap the lacquer art products and then put them into the storage box.
3. Maintenance Guide for Special Materials
(1) Zircon
Zircon has a relatively low hardness and is fragile. When storing multiple zircon jewelry, be sure to avoid them rubbing against each other. Do not wear zircon jewelry when engaging in activities that may cause wear and tear or impact, such as carrying heavy objects or engaging in strenuous exercise. In addition, during the storage and wearing process, keep it away from high temperature, strong sunlight and strong ultraviolet radiation, such as not placing it near heaters, window sills exposed to direct sunlight, etc., to ensure it is intact.
(2) Agate
Agate is fragile in texture and should be carefully avoided from impact with hard objects to prevent cracks or even breakage. At the same time, avoid contact with perfume, chemical agents, soapy water, etc., as these substances may corrode its surface and affect its color and texture. Agate is suitable for storage in an environment with a certain humidity, and should be kept away from heat sources, such as heaters, stoves, etc. If there is dirt on its surface, it is recommended to use a soft small soft brush or soft cloth to gently wipe it, or it can be washed with clean water, but do not use corrosive cleaners. After cleaning, use a clean soft cloth to gently dry it.
(3) 925 Silver
For 925 silver jewelry, daily wear is the best way to maintain it, and human body oil can naturally give it a charming luster. However, pay attention to keeping it dry. If it accidentally gets wet, please use a clean cloth or a professional silver wiping cloth to dry it in time to prevent the silver jewelry from oxidizing and turning black. When not wearing it, you can put the silver jewelry in a sealed bag for storage, reducing its chances of contact with air. If the silver jewelry has been oxidized and turned black, you can use a silver wiping cloth to gently wipe it, or use a professional silver jewelry cleaner for cleaning, but you need to follow the instructions for using the cleaner to avoid excessive cleaning and damage to the silver jewelry.
4. Handling of Improper Maintenance
If the product is damaged due to personal use or improper maintenance, you can always contact our professional customer service team. We will provide you with professional and considerate maintenance or renewal solutions according to the specific situation. You only need to pay the corresponding material and service fees, and we will do our best to repair your lacquer art treasures and make them shine again.
5. Warm Tips
Due to the relatively closed space during transportation, the urushiol in the lacquer may accumulate due to moisture, and people with allergic constitutions may experience allergies after contact. Therefore, it is recommended that you place the product in a well-ventilated place for 7-15 days after receiving it to allow the urushiol to fully evaporate before wearing or playing with it. In addition, lacquer products usually have a natural smell, but this smell will gradually fade and eventually disappear over time. Customers who are more concerned about this should purchase with caution.
