How to Wear Jewelry
- Jewelry makes a person feel valued. They are crafted from durable yet delicate materials, adorned with rare stones. We recommend not wearing your jewelry during cleaning, sports, carrying heavy objects, or any activities where they may be exposed to pressure, impact, breakage, or deformation.
- To keep your jewelry looking like new, avoid wearing it in contact with water (handwashing, swimming) or with wet hands. Do not expose your jewelry to hot and humid environments, and protect it from oils, soaps, detergents, cosmetic products, acidic substances, bleach, alcohol, cologne, acetone, hairspray, and other chemicals. Contact with these factors may cause loss of shine or color, product damage, stone loss, or irreversible harm. We recommend putting on your jewelry after applying perfume.
- Do not store your jewelry for long periods in closed or airtight spaces. Lack of oxygen can cause surface oxidation, color changes, and loss of shine.
- To prevent scratches, jewelry should be protected from impacts and stored separately, without touching other pieces, preferably in its original box.
- Jewelry with diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and other precious stones is particularly sensitive to water, moisture, perfumes, deodorants, and gaseous substances, and must be protected from such exposure.
- Natural stones may change color when exposed to water or moisture (if not properly dried, handled with wet hands, or stored in a warm and humid environment). Natural stones should be protected from water and humidity.
- Pearls are natural products, and to maintain their longevity, they need contact with the skin. Jewelry with pearls can be damaged by water, cleaning agents, perfumes, hand creams, hairspray, and other cosmetic products. They should not be stored for long periods in closed or airtight spaces.
- For jewelry with clips or clasps, do not apply excessive force. These items must be used with special care.
- We recommend avoiding wearing jewelry in situations where it may be exposed to external impacts (cleaning, sports, carrying heavy objects, childcare, etc.).
- In case of breakage, deformation, tearing, scratches, stone loss, or other damage resulting from use, the product should be sent to our expert assessment center. After inspection, the customer will be informed whether the item can be repaired or serviced.
- Maintenance and repair costs for deformations caused by use (stone replacement, adding metal, etc.) are the responsibility of the customer.
- We recommend having Altınbaş jewelry serviced once a year at the nearest store, together with the warranty card, within the 18-month warranty period.
