How to Care for Your Finished Keepsake: Resin, Frames & Jewelry

Your keepsake took months to make — resin alone cures for two to three months before finishing work begins. A few easy habits will keep it beautiful for decades.

How do I care for resin pieces?

Keep resin art out of prolonged direct sunlight — a bright room is fine, a windowsill in full afternoon sun is not. Dust with a dry, lint-free cloth; for fingerprints, a slightly damp microfiber cloth is all you need. Never use alcohol, ammonia, or abrasive cleaners. Functional pieces from our coasters and home goods collection are made for daily life — just wipe them clean and skip the dishwasher.

How do I care for a pressed flower frame?

Hang pressed flower frames on walls that don't take direct sun through glass, and dust the frame and glass as you would any artwork. Natural mellowing of flower tones over the years is normal — many clients tell us their frame gets more beautiful as it takes on that antique botanical quality.

What about flower jewelry?

Resin jewelry is sturdier than it looks, but treat it like fine jewelry: last thing on, first thing off. Store pieces in a soft pouch, and avoid perfume and hairspray landing directly on them.

Can keepsakes travel or be shipped later?

Yes — wrap resin pieces in soft cloth inside rigid boxes, and never leave them in a hot car (heat is resin's enemy). When we ship finished pieces to you, they travel fully insured; keep that packaging if you expect to move.
