A Quiet Practice Of Care
Eastern Story pieces are designed to accompany everyday life. A little thoughtful care helps preserve the materials, finish, and character of each piece over time.
Because many pieces are handcrafted and include natural materials, small differences in color, texture, and pattern are normal. Please also check the individual product page for any care instructions specific to your piece.
Everyday Care
To help protect your piece:
- remove it before showering, swimming, exercising, or sleeping
- avoid prolonged contact with water, sweat, and humidity
- keep it away from perfume, lotions, sunscreen, household cleaners, and harsh chemicals
- avoid pulling, dropping, crushing, or stretching the piece
- put it on after applying skincare, fragrance, or cosmetics
- wipe it gently after wear before storing it
Jade And Gemstone Pieces
Jade and gemstone beads can be cared for with a soft, dry cloth.
If a piece needs additional cleaning, lightly dampen the cloth with clean water, wipe the surface gently, and dry the piece completely afterward. Avoid soaking, ultrasonic cleaning, abrasive products, and chemical cleaners unless the individual product page specifically says otherwise.
Natural stones can be affected by impact. Store them carefully and avoid contact with hard surfaces or other jewelry that may scratch them.
Red Cord And Elastic Bracelets
Cord and elastic components benefit from gentle handling.
Avoid soaking them in water, exposing them to repeated friction, or stretching them more than necessary when putting them on or taking them off. Over time, frequent contact with water, sweat, or chemicals may affect the color or strength of the cord.
Metal Components And Symbolic Charms
Some pieces include metal accents or symbolic charms.
To help preserve their finish:
- avoid direct contact with water and chemicals
- wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear
- store separately from harder items
- do not use polishing agents unless the product page specifically recommends them
Storage
When your piece is not being worn:
- keep it in a clean, dry place
- store it separately to reduce tangling and scratching
- avoid direct sunlight, heat, and damp environments
- use the original pouch or a soft-lined jewelry box where possible
Natural Variation
Natural materials are not expected to look identical from one piece to another. Variations in tone, pattern, translucency, and texture are part of their character.
These differences do not change the symbolic intention of the piece. They make each object quietly individual.
