Resin jewellery and accessories are beautiful, durable, and full of character — but like all handcrafted pieces, they deserve a little love to keep them looking their best. Whether you've just received a resin bookmark, charm, or accessory from ResinCrafts, here's everything you need to know about caring for and displaying your pieces.
Caring for Your Resin Pieces
Keep Away from Prolonged Heat
Resin can soften or warp if left in direct sunlight or high heat for extended periods. Avoid leaving your pieces on a sunny windowsill or in a hot car. A little warmth is fine, but sustained heat is the enemy of a pristine finish.
Clean Gently
To clean your resin pieces, use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid abrasive cloths, harsh chemicals, or alcohol-based cleaners — these can dull the surface or strip any coatings. Pat dry rather than rubbing to preserve the shine.
Avoid Scratches
Although resin is fairly resilient, it can scratch if knocked against hard surfaces. Store your pieces separately — a small pouch or jewellery box works perfectly — rather than loose in a bag or drawer where they might rub against keys or coins.
Keep Away from Chemicals
Perfume, hairspray, and cleaning products can affect the surface of resin over time. Put your resin jewellery on last when getting ready, and remove it before cleaning or swimming.
Displaying Your Resin Pieces
Bookmarks
Resin bookmarks are as much a decorative object as they are functional. When not in use, prop them in a small ceramic pot or glass on your desk or bookshelf — they make a gorgeous little display piece and are always to hand when you need them.
Charms & Accessories
Hang charms on a small wall-mounted hook rack or a jewellery stand to show off their colours and details. Natural light (without direct sun) brings out the depth and shimmer of resin beautifully.
Gifting & Presentation
If you're giving a resin piece as a gift, a small shadow box or display frame makes a stunning presentation — the recipient gets both the piece and a ready-made way to show it off.
A Note on Longevity
With proper care, high-quality resin pieces can last for years without yellowing or losing their lustre. All ResinCrafts pieces are made with UV-resistant resin to give you the best possible longevity — but a little care goes a long way in keeping them looking as vibrant as the day they arrived.
