How to Care for Your UV Resin Jewelry (Without Fucking It Up)

So you’ve got your hands on some gorgeous UV resin jewelry—bold, unique, and one-of-a-kind. Now, let’s talk about keeping it that way. Resin can be a bit of a diva, so follow these tips to keep your pieces looking as badass as the day you got them.

1. Do NOT Submerge in Water

First things first: resin jewelry and water are not friends. Showering, swimming, or soaking—just don’t do it. A quick splash won’t destroy it, but extended exposure? Nope. Keep your jewelry high and dry. Obviously you can wash your hand with it…

2. Watch Out for Smoke

Got a smoking habit? Regular exposure to smoke can cause resin to yellow over time. If you can’t kick the habit (no judgment), try not to wear your pieces in smoky environments too often.

3. No Extreme Heat or Direct Sunlight

Leaving your resin jewelry baking in the sun or next to a heat source is a big no-no. Extreme heat can warp the material, and UV rays can speed up yellowing. Treat your jewelry like a vampire—cool and out of the sun.

4. Skip the Harsh Chemicals

Cleaning with strong chemicals, scrubbing with abrasive cleaners, or wearing your jewelry while using bleach or cleaning products? Absolutely not. Keep it mild and gentle.

5. Perfumes and Lotions Need Time to Set

Want to smell great and rock your jewelry? Perfect—just let your perfumes, lotions, and sprays dry completely before putting on your resin piece. Otherwise, you’re risking a sticky mess or discoloration.

6. Remove Before Sleeping

Look, I get it—you might want to keep your jewelry on 24/7. But trust me, sleeping in your resin jewelry can lead to scratches, cracks, or even breakage. Take it off before bed and thank me later.

7. Clean It Right

When it’s time for a little TLC, clean your resin jewelry with warm water and mild soap. Use a soft cloth to gently wipe it down—no scrubbing, no abrasive nonsense. Easy as that.

8. First Thing Off, Last Thing On

When you’re getting dressed, make your resin jewelry the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off. This minimizes the risk of damage from zippers, sprays, or accidental knocks.

Keep It Beautiful

With a little extra care, your UV resin jewelry will stay as bold and beautiful as ever. Remember: treat your pieces like the delicate badass art they are, and they’ll keep shining for years to come. Now go forth and rock your resin!
