How should I care for my cord jewelry?

Our cord bracelets and necklaces are designed for everyday elegance, but like any real piece of jewelry, they deserve mindful care. With the right cleaning and wearing habits, your piece can preserve its original beauty, structure and character for a long time.

For regular care, avoid direct contact with harsh chemicals, strong detergents, perfume, cosmetics and alcohol-based products, as these may damage or dull the surface of the cord and the metal components. We also recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to strong sunlight or heat, as this may affect the material over time.

How should I clean my cord jewelry?

If your cord jewelry needs cleaning, remove it before cleaning and gently rinse the cord under lukewarm running water. Apply a small amount of mild hand soap, then carefully rub the cord by hand. Do not use a toothbrush, sponge or abrasive tool. Rinse thoroughly with clean water, then gently press out the excess moisture with a soft, dry towel. Let the piece air dry naturally. Never use a hair dryer, tumble dryer or any direct heat source, as this may damage the cord.

Do not wash your jewelry in a washing machine and do not place it in a dryer. Avoid strong cleaning products and never soak the piece for a long time. For safe wear, remove your bracelet or necklace during physical work, technical sports, cycling, climbing, gardening, construction work or when operating machinery, especially in situations where the jewelry could get caught. We also recommend not wearing cord bracelets directly next to a metal watch, as friction may wear the cord or scratch the metal details.

How to store handmade jewelry?

When you are not wearing your jewelry, store it in its own box or soft pouch to protect it from dust, scratches and unnecessary friction. Keep it in a dry place and avoid storing it in humid environments such as bathrooms.

These simple care steps help your handmade cord jewelry remain not only beautiful, but also comfortable, durable and worthy of being worn as a meaningful everyday jewelry piece.

Who makes your jewelry?

Every piece is handmade by artisans with disabilities as part of our artisan program. This is not a symbolic detail — it is an essential part of how the jewelry is created and why each piece carries individual value.

By choosing one of our bracelets or necklaces, you support skilled manual work, inclusive production and a more human approach to jewelry making.

What does “100% handmade by artisans with disabilities” mean?

It means that each piece is individually crafted by hand by artisans participating in our inclusive production program. The process includes preparing the materials, shaping the design, assembling the jewelry and completing the final finishing steps.
Because the pieces are handmade, slight variations may occur. These are not flaws; they are signs of authentic handcraft and make each item unique.

Is your jewelry sustainably produced?

Sustainability is part of how we think about production, materials and people. Our jewelry is made in small-scale batches, with careful material use and a focus on long-lasting design rather than disposable trends.

The handmade process helps reduce unnecessary overproduction, while our artisan program supports inclusive employment and meaningful craft-based work.

What makes your production model more responsible?

Our approach is based on four principles: thoughtful materials, small-scale production, artisan handwork and long-term wearability.

Instead of designing pieces to be replaced quickly, we create jewelry that can become part of your personal style for years. Responsibility also means transparency, which is why we provide material details, care instructions and product-specific information wherever available.

Do your products have certifications?

The cords used in our bracelets and necklaces are OEKO-TEX® certified, which means they have been tested for harmful substances and meet strict safety standards for textile materials.
The metal components used in our jewelry are hypoallergenic, making them suitable for most people with sensitive skin.
Certifications help show that cord jewelry can be held to the same thoughtful standards as traditional jewelry. Our use of OEKO-TEX® certified cords and hypoallergenic metal components reflects our belief that these pieces are real jewelry: carefully designed, responsibly made and created for long-term wear.
